This one's really fruity—like a whole fruit salad in a glass. 🍎🍐 I get apples and pearish notes right away, with something syrupy, almost like corn syrup or candied oranges. There's a touch of litchis too, which is a bit strange but fun. It feels quite well made, balanced even, though I'd say it leans rather sweet—maybe too sweet for some. There's vanilla and custard in there, along with honey and a little cinnamon. Less woody than others, but I notice some "planks" and a sweet oak liqueur vibe. I also get hints of Spanish-style rum, heavy and sweet, but it's clean and fragrant overall. Less coconut, more roses and tinned fruits. 🥫 It's gold in colour and pleasant, but a little short on the finish. Not quite my cup of maize, but still—worth a good score for the style. 👍

Lovely sweet dram 🥃 Honey, tinned fruit, apples and orange peel, with a syrupy rum-like sweetness. Bit of vanilla custard, soft oak, and a wee cinnamon prickle. Pritty fragrant, maybe a touch too sweet for me, but still very pleasant.

Right, had a wee dram of this one 🥃 Nose hits ye with sea spray and a bonfire on the beach. Touch of orchard fruit there too if ye give it a minute. Palate’s silky—peaty but not in yer face. More like smouldering embers, dark choc, and a bit of nutty toffee. Water brings out this custard cream note, proper moreish stuff. Finish 👌 warm and lingering, like wool blankets and salted caramel. Bit of oak spice right at the tail. Reckon it’s a belter for a dreich evening. Just solid, no messin.

Right, so I've been sippin this one tonight and honestly, it's quite lovely 👌 First thing I get is this warm smoky note, not like a bonfire more like a cozy fireplace sorta thing. Then there's this sweet toffe and vanilla coming through, reminds me a bit of those butterscotch sweets me nan used to keep 🍬 Bit of fruitiness too - appley maybe? And a touch of oak that just rounds it all out nicley. The finish lingers nicely, warm and slightly spiced. Goes down smothly without bein harsh at all. Really pleasant mouthfeel tbh. Would defo have another dram of this one 🥃 Fancied somethin cozy tonight and this hit the spot perfectly. Pairing it with a good book and some choclately biscuits. Bliss.
