Tasting Notes & Reviews

Expert analysis and tasting impressions

1#1

Right, poured myself a dram earlier. 🥃 Nose is proper smoky, reminds me of a peat fire 🔥. Taste is warm, oily kinda. Got that spice kick at the back of the throat. Finish lingers abit longer than expected. Nice way to unwind. 🪵 Colur is lovely deep gold. Realy enjoyable for a rainy eveing. 🌧️ Reckon it's a good un. Cheers! 🍻

Rite then, this dram’s nose is proper dry red berry jam 🍓, like a scone straight from the oven. Then a wee whiff of old cigar box and a bit of sea spray. Mouthfeel’s suprisingly smoooth… marmalade on toast, dark grape skin, almost a bonfire smokiness in there 🔥. It gets peppery after a sec, a little tannic bite, but it’s all marmalade and salted caramel comin’ back. Finish sits with ya — more of that cigar leaf, a touch of dark choc 🍫, and the faintest wisp of peat. Gets ya right in the chest, this won. Proper cosy dram.

Right, poured meself a wee dram after work. 🤦‍♂️ First whiff – like walking into a old woody shed, but nice, y'know? Got that proper malty thing, sorta like brown bread toasting. Then... boom. Hints of vanilla custard, maybe some stewed apples hiding in there? 🍎 Took a sip. Oh wow. So smooth goin' down, but then this lovely warmth just... spreads. Felt a bit of dark chocolate, or maybe that fancy coffee. The finish? Long and proper satisfying. Left a kinda sweet, oaky taste on me tongue. Could defo taste the cask, innit? 👍 Perfect after a chilly walk. Reckon it'd be grand with a bit of dark chocolate or just on its own. Proper treat, that. 🥃

Proper lovely dram this one 👃 First nose gets you with a big wack of smoky bonfire 🔥 then a bit of vanilla and honey comes thru Palate is smooth, really decandent with some dried fruits and cinnamon spice. Maybe a touch of dark chocolate? Finish is long and warming, leaves a nice oaky tingle on the tongue. Aye, it's a solid drop for a nightcap.

5#5

Ahh, right, so this one's a bit appley and liqourishy upfront 🍏🍬. Then you get that warm, kinda spicy, oaky thing going on. Really lingers, you know? Like a cozy evening by the fire. 🥃✨ The finish is all soft vanilla and a bit of dried fruit. Proper lovely. 😌
