Tasting Notes & Reviews
Expert analysis and tasting impressions
Right, had a wee dram tonight. 🥃 Nose is proper smoky, like peat fires up north. 🏴 Taste... smooth innit? Hints of vanilla and dried fruit. 🍇 Finish lingers, warms the chest nicely. 🔥 Definetly one for the cold nites. ❄️ Could sip this all evening without bother. 😌
First sip, you get this big smoky rush, like standing by a bonfire 🍂. Then it mellows into sweet honey and a bit of apple peel, maybe? The finish is warm with a touch of spice. Really satisfying on a cold day 😋. Sometimes I taste a hint of vanilla too, almost creamy. Goes down smooth, no harshness at all. Perfect for winding down. 🥃
