Just had a dram after work – started off pretty light, with this earthy peat and mineral sort of vibe, almost like green tea but with a bitter walnuts edge.
It opened up to be round and luscious, fruitier than I expected, notes of apple compote and squeezed oranges coming through. Not greatly great, but there's honey and a leathery quality, slightly salty too.
Nutmeg from the oak added a nice spice, and I kept getting grassy notes that turned grassier as it sat. The refill gave it a lighter touch, medium body, with a sherriness that reminded me of tarte tatin – oh, and a bit of bitter almonds and some greenness in there.
Overall, decent for a chill evening. 🥃
