1#1

Oh wow, this one's proper lovely 😍 First sip - getting these warm honey vibes, almost like burnt toffee? And there's defo some vanilla in there, maybe even a bit of butterscotch. Mmm, then comes the fruit - dried apricots maybe? Bit of orange peel too 🍊 The finish is where it gets intresting... nice peppery kick, not too harsh like. Leaves this gorgeous warmth in your chest. Textured-wise it's quite full bodied, really clings to the glass. Could deffo sit with this one all evening tbh 🥃 Nose is giving me christmas cake vibes - all that dried fruit and spice. Quite christmassy actually haha Overall? Dead nice drop. Would absolutley have another dram of this! 👌

Well, this dram's got a right mix of flavours. Starts off with a smoky peat aroma, then you get some fruity notes – like apples and pears. A bit of spice on the tounge, maybe cinnamon, and finishes smooth with a lingering warmth. Lovely for a cold evening! 🥃😌
