Blimey, this one’s proper unusual in a really nice variant kind of way, eh? 🥃 First nose hits you with that very fruity burst - overripe strawberries, blackcurrants, sweet cherries, even a little tang of orange marmalade and cake notes like nan’s Sunday bake leftover 🍰 Then there’s that red wine + malt whisky equation vibe, right? Port cask and bourbon cask giving it that quite sweet lovely sweetness, but wait there’s a spicy kick of green pepper and black pepper, even a little ginger zing that makes you go ‘oh nice’ 😮 Weirdly there’s these earthy bits too - potting soil, compost, barnyard note, even a hint of black truffle and used matchsticks? Don’t knock it till you try it, it works so well with the figs and the Campari bitter tang, pairs dead nice with a cigar too 🚬 Finish is medium length, leaves that leather note, a little ginger ale fizz on the tongue, no obvious peat which is a win for me. Proper weird but so good, I’d happily have a dram of this after work any day.
