Tasting Notes & Reviews
Expert analysis and tasting impressions
This one's proper nice, init? First off, you get that sweet honey vibe, kinda like summer in a glass. Then there's a bit of smoke, but not too heavy – more like a whisper. Oh, and some fruity bits, maybe apple or pear. Super smooth, almost creamy. Goes down a treat on a chilly evening. 🍯🔥 Fancy a dram with mates, y'know? Really warms you up from the inside. Definately one to savour.
Petrol and zest, bit o' that classic coal-smoke 'n' wet stone. Then suddenly... baked apple and honey? Very odd combo. Hmmm, like sniffing a bonfire whilst eating sticky toffee pud 🤔 Finish is long n' tingly, minty almost. Weirdly pleasant. 👍
Wow, actually, this is pretty nice 👃 Got a lot of campfire smoke 🔥 upfront, but then it mellows out Underneath there's some proper runny honey 🍯 and a bit of vanilla, like cheap ice cream 🍦 in a good way Tastes like... a bit of old leather and malty bread? Weird combo but it works Medium body, not too thin Finish is long, all those smoky, sweet bits just hang about 😌 Overall, a solid evening dram 👍 --- A proper s'more on a autumn night 🔥🍪 Nose is like walking into a candle shop next to a farm Palate hits you with cola bottle sweets 🍿 and then gets all creamy, like milk chocolate Some oakiness comes through at the end, drying it out a touch Nice and chewy, this one Would def buy again if I saw it on offer 👀 --- Smells like a dusty library shelf, but in a comfy way 📚 Then you get this hit of zesty orange peel 🍊 Taste is more like stewed apple pie with cinnamon 🥧 Little bit of spice, like white pepper Not my absolute favourite, but interesting to try! --- First impression: sweet shop! 🍬 Hints of apple drops and pear drops Then it gets more complex. Some malty biscuit and a whisper of smoke 💨 Palate is lovely and balanced. Honey, a bit of oak, and something floral? Finish is medium, gently spicy 🌶️ A proper all-rounder, this one. Easy to drink and enjoy --- Nose is all about the dried fruits - raisins, sultanas 🍇 Taste is richer, like dark chocolate and coffee ☕ Gets a bit spicy at the end, cinnamon and nutmeg maybe Thick and syrupy in the mouthfeel 🤤 A warming, fireside sort of whisky for sure 🔥
Oh mate, this one’s got a real proper smoky kick – like bonfires and toffee. 😋 Warm and rich, with a hint of apple and oak. Really smooth after a while. Goes down easy on a chilly night. 🥃🔥
