Well, that first sip hits with a bit of peanut butter right up front... then, blimey, it just dries right out. Horribly dry, and drying. All I'm getting is wood, like someone bottled oak juice or something. 😬 I think there's a hint of stewed pineapple in there, but it's completely smothered by that oak. Way, way too oaky for me. No, it's just... unpleasant. What a nightmare, honestly. The whole thing feels like a golden ticket that's horrendously oaky. Not for us, indeed. It's all woods and nuts, on a spirit that's quite soft and shy, maybe even a bit thin. Leaves me feeling a bit down, like, sob, I'm a failure at this tasting lark! I am definitely not a ‘discerning bourbon aficionado’. Tastes like a Saturday afternoon trapped in Ikea’s kitchen section – what a nightmare indeed. 😅 Other single barrels I've tried have been much nicer in my book.

Warm and a bit sweet at first, with a soft smoky edge 🥃 I get dried fruit, oak, and a wee spicy kick near the end. Feels cosy, like a rainy evening dram. Nice and easy to sit with 🙂

Warm and woody, with a soft honey bit and a wee touch of spice. Feels cosy rather than flashy 🥃 Bit oaky at the end, nice slow warmth.

Blimey, first sip hits like a warm caramel biscuit dunked in a cuppa ☕️🍯 Then this cheeky little wave of orchard fruit – think baked apple & a whisper of pear – rolls in Finish is proper cosy, like sitting by a fire with a slice of Christmas cake… that gentle spice just clings on 🎄🔥 Bit of dark toffee and a nutty, almost maple-y vibe lingers. Mouthfeel’s creamy, casi velvety, honestly. ……and then theres a tiny puff of oak smoke right at the back. not harsh at all, just enough to make u smile. Lovely dram for a rainy afternoon. 😌🥃

Warm and cosy dram 🥃 I get honey, soft oak, a bit of dried fruit and gentle spice. Feels smooth, slightly sweet, with a wee smoky edge at the end. Nice for a quiet evening, honestly.
