Tasting Notes & Reviews

Expert analysis and tasting impressions

1#1

Smells like a bonfire in the autumn rain 🌧️🔥 First sip: peaty, smoky... bloody hell, that's strong! Then it softens, mate. Like a baked apple pie with cinnamon 🥧 Oh, there's some vanilla and oak in there, smooth as. The warmth spreads right through your chest, cozy-like ☕️ A hint of dried fruit and toffee at the end, aye. Proper winter warmer, this one!

Oh this one's proper lovely, innit 🥃 Rich honey and caramel on the nose, like walking past a sweet shop on a Sunday afternoon. There's some dried fruit coming through too, maybe sultanas? Bit of vanilla hiding in there. First sip — oh wow, so smooth. Tastes like stewed apples and pears with a wee touch of cinnamon 🍐 Warm and malty, almost chewy if that makes sense?? The finish lingers nicely, get some gentle smokiness and a tiny bit of oak. Not too peaty, which I prefer tbh. Just a lovely warm hug kinda dram. Pairs beautifully with a square of dark chocolate by the fire 🔥 Would absolutely have another. Genuinely one of the better ones I've tried recently

3#3

Blimey, this whisky's a right proper drop! 👍 Nose: get a whiff of vanilla and tofee, with a smoky backdrop. Palate: smooth as ya like, with flavours of drid fruits and a spicy kick. Finish: long and warming, like a cozy night by the fire. 🔥 Really hits the spot, it does. 🥃
