Expert analysis and tasting impressions

1#1

Ah right, so this one’s got that proper cosy warmth to it, y’know? Like a comfy cardigan on a chilly eve 🧶. Get a bit of smoky sweetness, almost like bonfire toffee 🍬 mixed with some dried fruit – raisins maybe? Finish lingers a bit, with a tiny spicy kick that fades into somethin’ woody. Quite moreish, innit. Would defs have it again on a rainy Sunday afternoon ☕.

2#2

Oh, this one's a proper marmite dram, innit? 🥃 First whiff is all fruity, like... overripe plums left in the sun. Then get this warm, leathery thing, maybe a bit of old library books? 📚 Oddly comforting. Palate's proper rich. Loads of dark chocolatey notes, almost like a melted rolo? Gets a bit spicy towards the end, white pepper maybe. Finish is long, a bit oaky, leaves this nice warmth in your chest. 🔥 Quite the complex pour, that. Would defo pair with a good natter by the fire.
