Ardmore 1977 30 Years Single Malt Whisky

Proper dram this. Nose is all campfire smoke and a bit of green apple skin. 🍏🔥 On the palate, thers a lovely honeyed caramel note, but not cloyin – more like a Crunchie bar dipped in dark choc. 🍯🍫 Mid-palate brings gentle spiced oak and a touch of dried apricots, maybe a hint of seasalt too. 🌊 Finish is long, warm, with cracked black pepper and just a whisper of charred wood. 🪵 Swear I get a tiny whiff of leather in the empty glas. 👞 All in all, a cracking sit-by-the-fire whisky.

Right, got a dram here. Smells a bit like bonfire smoke and... is that marmalade? 🥃 On the tongue, it's proper warming. Starts sweet, all toffee and baked apple, then that peat smoke comes through. Finish is long, a bit spicy, feels like a hug from the inside. 👍 Really rather good.
