1#1

Proper comfy dram this. Nose is all stewed orchard fruits, a bit of burnt sugar and just a whisper of campfire smoke 🔥🍎. On the palate, it’s bustin’ with dark choccy, walnuts. Little whiff of old leathr n’ spice, really coats the mouth warm n’ slow. Not overly sweet, just a honest, malty hug. Finishe sticks around with that lovely smoulder, maybe a touch of sea salt, distant bonfire embers. Smashin’ with a splash o’ water.

just tried this dram... kinda smoky but not too heavy 🥃 the vanilla and honey notes hit first, lovely sweetness wait for the spice kick... yep there's some cinnamon and black pepper 🌶️ mouthfeel's really smoooth, almost silky finish lingers with oaky warmth, hint of dried fruit proper good stuff on a rainy afternoon ☕ might be a bit peaty for some but I like it innit

Alright, this whisky's proper peaty, innit? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Got a right smoky kick on the nose, like a bonfire on a crisp autumn day. 🍂 There's a bit of woody oak in there, and maybe some fruity notes – apples or summat? 🍎 On the palate, it's warming and a bit spicy, with a long, smoky finish that lingers. 👌 Really enjoy it with a dash of water; brings out the flavours more. 💧 Oh, and it's taesty as well – smooth and satisfying. 😋 Reminds me of a cozy evening by the fire. 🌬️

Just had a dram of this whisky, and the nose is proper lovely – all vanilla and a bit of honey, with a hint of something fruity like ripe apples. 🥃 On the tongue, there's a nice warmth, subtle smokiness at the back, and a touch of oak. Finish lingers with a gentle spice, quite soothing. Really enjoyed the mouthfeel, creamy yet crisp. 😊 Sometimes I get a bit of caramel too, but mostly it's that vanilla note upfront. Nice one for a cozy evening.

7#7

Proper lovely nose on this one 👃 - smells like smoky caramel an' a bit of vanilla, maybe some honeycomb? Taisty. Bit of citrus peel comin' through 🍊 with some toasty oak notes. Actually really bloody nice - smooth as you like, with that gentle peat smoke lingerin' nicely. Get's a lil' bit spicy as it sits, reminds me of Christmas cake 🎄... an' there's this warm honey finish that just goes on forever. Proper autumn dram, this.
