The nose is brilliant—complex and floral, with a sniff of orange blossom water and something like Geranium jelly, but not too sweet. On the palate, it hits you with this spicy ryeness and a ginger kick, almost like a pepper and cardamom mix. The oak comes through, a bit spicier than I expected, but the palate feels a touch simpler compared to the nose. Finish is quite long, lingering with hints of pie and calvados. Full gold in color, it reminds me of a high-quality bourbon but with a fruity twist. The vanilla/syrups are a bit 'dumb'—maybe that's the cider and apples—but the honeysuckle and chamomile keep it interesting. Not exactly sweet, though, and a bit drying. Still, I’d have another dram 🥃

Aye, just poured a wee dram. Nose is like strollin through an orchard after rain—pears, honey, a whiff of sea spray. 🌊🍐 First taste hits soft, then that warm spice creeps in. Cinnamon, maybe a touch of ginger. Not a punch, more like a cuddle from an old mate. Finish lingers gentle, with a bonfire smokiness that wisps away slow. Could do with a drop of water to wake it up, mind. But no complains. Proper cosy sipper, this one. Cheers. 🥃✨

lovely dram, very smoky but with a bit of honey. definetly get some oak and a hint of vanilla 🥃 the finish is long and warming, perfect for a cold night. might be a bit of peat in there? or is it just me haha text feels a bit jumbled in my head but yeah, that's the vibe 👍 gives me that proper autumn fireplace feeling 💨 wouldn't say it's my all-time fav, but solid stuff. might try it again with a drop of water next time.

First sip hits with this lovely toffee sweetness 🍯 Bit of smoke comes through, not too heavy mind Getting some fruit notes... apple maybe? And a touch of spice Finish is surprisingly smooth, kinda creamy actually Proper warming on the way down, that's the good stuff innit 😌 Not bad for a wee dram on a cold night
