Tasting Notes & Reviews
Expert analysis and tasting impressions
Right, just poured a glass 🥃 Nose is lovely, hony and pear 🍐. Taste is warm, got that oak spice 🔥 Finish lingers, quite nice. Dont kick too hard, smooth down the hatch. Reckon its a good un for the price 💷 Bit of fruit too, maybe pear 🍐. Cheers 🍻.
Right, just had a wee dram 🥃 Smells lovly, like honey and some dried fruit 🍇 First sip is smooth, warms the chest 🔥 Bit of spice in the middle, but not too much. Finish lingers... makes me feel proper cozy 🍂 Definitly one to savour on a rainy day. Cheers mates 🍻
Right, so took a sip of this one. On the nose, got some sharp, almost acetone notes first off, then a bit of woodsy spice, like cloves maybe. Rather intense, that. On the palate, it's a bit of a rollercoaster. Starts with that same chemical kick, then moves into some sourness and a definite yeasty, bread-like quality. Not bad, just... unusual. The flavours come in waves. The finish is where it gets interesting. It lingers with a bitter, slightly charred note, like over-toasted nuts. There's a faint sweetness trying to peek through, but the dryness wins out. Rather long and assertive. 🥃 Nose: Sharp, spicy, a bit woody 👃 👅 Palate: Sour, yeasty, with a chemical edge Finish: Bitter, dry, long-lasting 🔥 Not your everyday dram, that's for sure. Has character. 👍
Ooh, this one's proper complex, innit? 🤔 First get a big hit of vanilla and honey, like those lovely dark toffees. Then comes a bit of smoke, but not like a bonfire—more like a distant woodsmoke, with some spicy oak. Nose has some dried fruit, maybe figs? And a little nuttiness. Taste is smooth, a bit waxy? There's citrus peel zing and some dark chocolate bitter at the end. It's warming, not harsh. Leaves you with a kinda malty, cereal aftertaste. Quite lovely, really. 🥃✨
