Imperial 1995 SV

Oof, that first sip hit different 🥃 Gettin' all warm honey and vanilla vibes init. Bit of toffee on the nose, maybe a touch of cinnamon? 🍯 The finish is proper long though... keeps lingerin' like a good story told by the fire 🔥 Hints of dried fruit and some oakiness comin' thru. Slightly nutty? Can't quite put me finger on it but I'm not complainin 😌 Would deffo have another dram of this bad boy 👌 Right smooth goin down, not too harsh atall. Me kinda whisky for a quiet evenin in 🏠

Right, so had a wee dram last night and here's what I reckon... 🥃 First thing - that lovely golden colour in the glass, proper inviting innit. Nose: Get this beautiful honey and vanilla thing going on, like walking past a bakery on a Sunday morning. Touch of smoke too, subtle like. Bit of dried fruit hiding in there as well. 🍯 Palate: Oh blimey, so smooth! That warm, creamy mouthfeel just coats yer tongue proper nice. Getting some toffee and apple notes, maybe a hint of cinnamon spice. The smoke comes through more now but it's not overpowering, just... settled in there y'know? Finish: Nice and long, leaves this lovely warm glow. Bit of dark chocolate at the end which I weren't expectin tbh. The oak comes through gentle like. Overall feelin? Just one of those whiskies that makes you go "ahhhh" after the first sip. Comforting, like a warm blanket on a proper grey British day. Would absolutely have another. Maybe two. 😅 Honestly, it's the kind of dram you'd want to sit with by the fire and just... enjoy. No rush, just proper savouring it. Defo a keeper in the collection! 👌

Blimey, this one's got a proper smoky start, like a bonfire night. Then comes a nice bit of chocolate, smooth like. A right little kick of spice follows, peppery-like. Quite balanced, really. The finish is long, with some dried fruit and a hint of something herbal. 🥃🍫🔥 Sorta makes you think of autumn walks. Right good stuff, this.

Ooh, this one's got a lovely nose on it, I'm gettin' 🍯 honey and a bit of lemon peel right away. First sip is smooth, very smooth, then a wave of warm spice and maybe some toasted nuts? Defo a bit of dark chocolate creepin' in there too. 🍫 Finish is long and warming, a gentle oakiness lingers. Really nice after a long day. 😊
