1#1

Right, so this one... initially it's all about that vanilla oak, kinda cozy like a fireplace, innit? Then you get this wee hint of citrus, maybe tangerine? Brightens it up a bit. 🍊 There's a subtle smokiness in the background, not aggressive, more like distant bonfire embers. Followed by a touch of honey or golden syrup sweetness that balances the oak. Quite nice. Aftertaste has this warming, slightly drying feeling, with a whisper of something herbal. Overall, a decent dram for a quiet evening. 🥃
