Tasting Notes & Reviews

Expert analysis and tasting impressions

1#1

Right, had a dram just now. Proper nice it was 🥃. Nose hit me with vanila and honey. Sweet like a bakery honestly. Palate... warm spice. Pepper kick but not harsh. Gets ya throat good. Finish lingered alittle whlie. Oaky bits, hint of smoke. Perfect for a rainy eveing innit. Defo having another glass 👍.

2#2

Right, had a wee dram of this tonight. 🥃 Proper warming it is. Like a hug in a glass kinda thing. Smells sweet, like honeycomb and a bit of wood smoke 🔥. Goes down easy, no harshness atall. Leaves your chest feelin' cosy. Definetly reminds me of sitting by the fire on a rainy day 🌧️. Nice one.

3#3

Nose is a bit fruity, with some apple and pear notes, kinda like a summer orchard. 🍎 Palate feels smooth, almost creamy, with a touch of honey and a hint of cinnamon. Not too strong, just right. Finish is long and warming, leaves a nice vanilla oakiness behind. Pretty good, mate! 😋

Had a go at this whisky last eve. 🥃 Nose: bit smoky w/ hints of peat, real nice. Palate: smooth, touch of honey and fruit, quite moreish. Finish: long and warm, left me feelin' cozy. 😋 A proper dram for a chill night!

5#5

Ooh, that first nose is lovely - right away I get marzipan 🫶 and a bit of smokiness, like distant bonfire. On the palate it's got some prunes and honey, very warming. Tastes a bit like fruit cake, actually, with some dried fruits and a touch of spice. The finish is long and comforting, with toffee and some baking spices. Definitely one to savour. Quite a bit of vanilla and cream coming through as it opens up. Would go perfect with a dark chocolate square, I reckon. What d'you think?

6#6

Aye, this whisky's got a right lovely nose – citrus and vanilla, like a sunny orchard. 🍋 On the palate, it's smooth with some woody and spicy notes, maybe a hint of honey. Finish is long and warming, proper comforting. 🥃😊 Sometimes a bit herbaceous comes through too, but overall, a blimmin' good dram.

7#7

Smoky at frist, proper peaty dram! 🔥 Get some oaky notes an' a bit of spicy kick. Lovely finish, hints o' honey an' dried fruits 🍯 Could be a winter warmer, innit?
