Tasting Notes & Reviews

Expert analysis and tasting impressions

1#1

Creamy? 🤔 Smoky? Sort of... reminds me of warm toffee 'n vanilla, with a hint of grapes n pear. There's a fresh breeze thru it all, like a youthful dram but with depth. Oaky, smoky, fruity... bit like forest fruits? A touch of big tobacco on the nose. Srsly smooth, surprises with mint n nuttiness. Layers of sweetness, spice, butteriness, warmth. Sweet beetroot? Ginger? Cinnamon? Complex notes of peach, pear, dates. Aroma is mango, peach, ginger spice honey 🍯. Zesty lemon & lime notes. Cinnamon, spice, buttery vanilla, nutmeg, white pepper. Finish has ash, marzipan, almond, burnt sugar. Quite something! 👍

2#2

🥃 Nice smoky vibe, with a bit of a kick. Warming spices, kinda gingery. Sweet vanilla notes come through too. Hints of toasted oak, smooth finish. A proper fireside sipper, this one. 💨🔥 Plummy fruitiness lingers. Malty backbone, decent chew. Long, spicy aftertaste – moreish! A solid dram for a chilly evening.
