Just had a glass, really hits the spot. First thing that hits me is all that ripe fruit – pears, peaches, bananas, maybe some passion fruit in there too. It's like a big, summery fruit salad 🍐🍑 Then there's this lovely honey sweetness and a bed of vanilla underneath. Not overly heavy, the oak is quite light and the spices – a touch of cinnamon and ginger – are all nicely under control. It's not the most complex thing in the world, but it's just so nice and clean. Goes down rather easily on a warm evening. There's a little hint of straw and something fresh, like gooseberries or a bit of coriander, that keeps it interesting. Really reminds me of a classic, old-school dram. Very enjoyable.

Oh this one's lovely. Starts with straw and a bed of vanilla, then a massive fruit salad hits - passion fruits, gooseberries, oranges, bananas, even melons 🍈. It's like a tropical sunset in a glass. Really pleasantly uncomplicated, goes down rather easily. There's a touch of ginger and white pepper that keeps it interesting without being punchy. The oak's quite light, just a gentle frame around all that fruit. Got that clean, sunny western vibe. Not immensely complex but beautifully put together, and the finish has good length with a nice honey sweetness creeping in. One of the fruitiest ones I've tried lately, very enjoyable.

Ah, this one’s got that fruitiest nose right away—bananas and ripe pears just jumping out, like a little fruit basket on a bed of vanilla. 🍌 Sip it neat and it’s rather easily managed, the oak’s quite light and the spice stays under control. There’s even more fruit salad on the tongue—peaches, gooseberries, maybe some passion fruits giving it a tropical vibe. Hints of cinnamon and touches of ginger keep it interesting but pleasantly uncomplicated. Finishes with good length, some white pepper and a straw-like dryness. Goes down very well, honestly. Not immensely complex, just nice and clean—reminds me a bit of that Western bourbon wood style, maybe a nod to early 1970s sensibility. Fresh coriander’s a fun little twist too. 🥭

Quite cosy on the nose — bit of honey, oak and dried fruit. Sips warm and mellow, with a wee touch of spice and smoke 😊 Finish is soft, slightly sweet, and lingers nicely.

Lovely warm sip — a bit smoky, sweet spice, dried fruit and oak. Feels cosy, like a rainy evening by the fire 🥃 Finish is gentle but sticks around nicely.
