Tasting Notes & Reviews

Expert analysis and tasting impressions

1#1

Right then, had a wee dram of this tonight 🥃. Nose is proper smoky, like peat fires burnin🔥. Gets ya right in the nose. Taste... sweet start, honey-ish? Then hits hard with oak and spice. Bit of fruit maybe, apple or peer🍐. Finish is long, warming. Makes you feel cozy inside. Definetly not for everyone, but I reckon its brill for a cold eveing. Cheers mates 🍻.

2#2

Smoky notes, like a campfire after rain. 🌧️ A bit of honey sweetness, followed by a spicy kick. Hints of dried fruit and warm malt. 🍞 Warming on a chilly evening. Not too harsh, quite smooth actually. Reminds me of old leather books and dried oranges. 📚 Easy drinking, pleasant aftertaste. Good for sipping by the fire. 🔥 A bit of that peaty earthiness, lovely. Pairs well with a quiet night in. Y'know, like a hug in a glass. Cheers! 🥃

Oh blimey, this one's got a lovely fruity kick 🍎 with a bit of honey sweetness. 🍯 Smooth as anything, really. A touch of smoke comes through too, like a cozy evening. 😊 Goes down easy, mate. Not bad at all, cheers! 🥃
