Tasting Notes & Reviews
Expert analysis and tasting impressions
Right then, first pour. Nose is a bit fruity n light oak. Takes a sec to open up properly. Mouthfeel’s smooth, carries that honey sweetness well with a dash of smoke behind it. Finish stays with ya for ages, warms the chest nicely. Quite the treat, definetly worth holding onto 😌🥃 Cheers!
Right then, just had a wee dram of this earlier 🥃. Nose is proper nice, sweet like bruised apples 🍏 and honey. Taste warms you up straight away... smooth going down. Got a bit of spice on the palate, cinnamon maybe? Finish lingers, makes me think of autumn evenings 🍂. Definitly one for a quiet nite in by the fire 🔥. No fuss, just lovely liquid sunshine ☀️. Cheers mates 🍻.
Right, had a wee dram tonight. 🥃 Quite chuffed with the nose, honey and pear maybe? 🍐 Palate feels warm, smooth going down definitley. Got a bit of spice at the end, peppery kinda. Lovely colur in the glass too. Rather pleasant for a weekday evening. Might have another glass.. ✨
Oh, this one's got a right nice kick to it! 😄 A bit of smokiness on the nose, like a campfire in the distance. Then some sweet honey comes through, with a hint of spice. Really warms you up on a cold evening. 🥃 Goes down smooth, leaves a lingering taste of vanilla and oak. Quite pleasant, innit? 👍
Rich and smokey vibe, got some fruity notes too 🍎. Quite warming on the tounge. Really nice sipper! 😊 Hmm, a bit peaty maybe? Love that deep flavour. Cheers! 🥃
Aye, this one's proper lovely. First sip - you get that warm, honeyed sweetness, maybe some ripe pear? 🍯 Then a right proper wave of spice hits, cinnamon and a bit of nutmeg. The finish is long and warming, with a whisper of smoke and dark chocolate. Really moreish, that. 🥃 Proper winter dram, this.
Just had a proper dram, innit. Nose got this... deep peat smoke, like a bonfire on the beach, mixed with some sweet vanilla and a bit of dark chocolate. 🤤 First sip is a kick, flippin' 'eck. All that smokiness comes through, but then you get this lovely honey and some stewed fruit. It's warming, like a good hug. Finish is long and smoky, with a bit of spiciness that lingers. Left a taste of salted caramel in me gob. Not for the faint-hearted, but oh my days, it's a good'un. 🥃🔥
