Just had a dram and it’s cracking stuff. Really elegant with that old‑fashioned restraint – delicate and discreet oak, not a show‑off. The nose is all chamomile, fresh pollen and a hit of fresh vanilla. Takes me to mirabelle jam, apple brandy, overripe apples and a chewy nougat sweetness. A dusting of ground cinnamon too. Goes down rather easily, maybe too easily 😄. Medium length, very well‑behaved, almost retro refinement. Lovely.

Got a bright hit of overripe apples and very ripe mirabelles first, almost like grabbing a windfall orchard snack straight off the branch 🍎 Then that rich large plum tarte note kicks in, warm with a dusting of ground cinnamon, exactly like the slice my mate’s mum bakes for Sunday lunch 🥧 There’s a soft, mellow herbal tea edge, chamomile specifically, plus just a touch of oak, very well-behaved, no harshness at all. Swirl it a bit and you get stewed rhubarb, clafoutis vibes, plus a little honeyed apple brandy sweetness, it goes down rather easily, honestly. Medium length finish, leaves a hint of straw and fresh vanilla, really quite something special, superb little small batch drop that 🥃

Had a glass of this the other evening and, blimey, it’s rather lovely. The nose hits you with a zesty orange juice note, all bright and fresh, then there’s this whisper of vanilla that’s proper comforting. On the tongue, it’s like biting into a plum tarte straight out the oven—sweet, jammy mirabelles dancing about, with a cheeky hint of stewed rhubarb tang. There’s a dusting of ground cinnamon and something floral, maybe fresh pollen, giving it a bit of intrigue. It’s got that old-fashioned restraint about it, not too loud, just elegant 🍊. The oak’s there, but only a touch, like it’s been sitting in the cask long enough to pick up a bit of wisdom. Smooth as you like, it goes down rather easily, no harsh edges. Hints of apple brandy and clafoutis linger at the back, with a nougat-like sweetness that’s almost retro refinement. Quite something special, that’s what it is.

This one’s got a lovely, gentle warmth to it. Right off the nose, there’s a hint of chamomile and herbal teas, like a quiet moment in the garden. The palate opens with sweet notes of nougat and fresh vanilla, almost like a dessert you’d get at your gran’s. Then it shifts to this rich plum tarte and mirabelle jam, sweet but not cloying, with a touch of stewed rhubarb keeping things interesting. There’s cinnamon in there too, warm and just a bit spicy, like apple brandy with a splash of orange juice. It’s elegant, not overpowering—very well-behaved, if you ask me. The finish is smooth, medium length, with a delicate oak that doesn’t shout. Reminds me of clafoutis, honestly, with those ripe mirabelles lingering. Proper nice dram, quite something special 😌🥃

This dram’s got a real charm, you know? Starts off with this lovely honeyed sweetness, like a spoonful of golden nectar, then the apple brandy kicks in with these very ripe mirabelles – reminds me of summer orchards and my gran’s mirabelle jam. There’s a hint of orange juice too, not too sharp, and that plum tarte note lingers like a warm hug. The vanilla’s fresh and sweet, with a whisper of cinnamon and nougat, almost like a clafoutis with stewed rhubarb. It’s medium-bodied, not too heavy, and the oak’s so delicate and discreet, you’d think it’s wearing its age with elegance. Old-fashioned restraint, proper refinement, and that chamomile finish? Just lovely. Goes down rather easily, like a small batch secret worth keeping. 🍏✨
