Tasting Notes & Reviews

Expert analysis and tasting impressions

1#1

Right, so on the nose you get a real lovely whiff of... a bit of 🔥 smoke, sort of like a bonfire, but then there's this sweet 🍊 citrus peel comin' through. Goes down smoooth, like, a real warm hug in a glass. 🍯 Not too harsh, just... balanced, innit? Left a nice, long finish, almost like chewin' on a bit of orange zest. Top stuff. 👌

2#2

Right, had a dram of this whisky last nite. First nosing, got a strong smoky peat aroma, like a distant campfire. 🔥 Then tasted sweet honey and vanilla, so smoooth. 🍯 Hints of ripe apple and pear, with a bit of spice. Finishes long and warm, proper lovely. 🥃 Sometimes a bit too oakey for me, but still, verry enjoyable. Cheers!
