Tasting Notes & Reviews
Expert analysis and tasting impressions
On the nose, I'm getting a lovely warmth — maybe a bit of treacle and toasted oak? 🍞🍯 Right, that's proper nice on the palate. Creamy, with a hint of dark chocolate and some stewed plum. Quite a rich mouthfeel. The finish? Long, with a gentle spice that lingers. Really moorish! ✨
Ah this one's a proper cheeky dram, innit? 🥃 First whiff - blimey, it's like walkin' through a damp autumn forest. 🍂 Loads of that smoky, peaty goodness, but not overwhelmin' y'know? There's a bit of... is that burnt sugar? Or maybe treacle? Then it hits your tongue - initially there's a bit of a spicy kick, like ginger or cinnamon. 🔥 Then it mellows out into somethin' really pleasant... vanilla, maybe some dried fruit? Raisins or dates, perhaps. The finish is long and warm, leavin' a nice tingle behind. It's got a lovely golden colour too, like old honey in the sun. 🍯 Overall, very approachable but still complex enough to keep ya interested. Could easily become a new favourite for a quiet evening in.
First sip, you get this big smoky hug, like sitting by a bonfire. 🌬️ Then it's all sweet vanilla and a bit of caramel – proper lush. 🍁 There's a hint of spice too, maybe cinnamon or something. Makes your tongue tingle a tad. 😋 Overall, a right proper dram for a chilly evening. Innit?
Well, that was a proper interesting one... 🤔 First sip, you get hit with this lovely warm apple and pear sort of thing, like a autumn pudding, maybe? Then it sort of... mellows out. Got a bit of a creamy, malty vibe going on. Quite nice, really. 👍 The finish is a bit spicy, like a hint of cinnamon or something, and just a wisp of smoke. Not overwhelming, just... there. A very easygoing dram, honestly. Would have another without hesitation. 😊
