Just cracked open a dram earlier, innit? First sip’s got that vanilla, custard and fudge vibe, even a bit like Bailey’s and Jaffa cakes, nice golden colour too 🥃 Thing is, it’s a touch too sweetish, gives off that sweetish white wine Viognier sort of feel half way through, started yawning halfway through the second glass 😅 Pleasant enough for a lazy evening, but wouldn’t neck the whole botttle in one go, mind.

This has a gold colour, and the nose is like a sweetish white wine, maybe Viognier, with fudge and coconut. There's a hint of orange cream that's quite pleasant, but after a while, I start to zone out, zzz zzz zzz. It's not bad, but a bit of a yawn. The sour coco gives it some bite, but overall, it's just... meh. Reminds me of Jaffa cakes without the kick. Maybe a splash of vanilla or custard could've helped, but as it is, I'm struggling to stay interested. A bit thin on the finish too. Not the most exciting dram, but it'll do on a quiet night in. 🥃😴

This one's a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. It starts off promising with some lovely vanilla and custard sweetness, almost like a dessert. There's a pleasant coconut note that reminds me of those Jaffa Cakes my gran used to make, and a touch of orange cream that's quite nice. But then it takes a turn - too sweet, a bit thin, and that sour coco comes through like it's trying too hard. The finish is kinda lousy, like it's losing steam halfway through. I was expecting more from an Irish blend, but ended up feeling like Chicken to lions - all show, no bite. A few sips in, I'm already yawning. Not terrible, but not great either. Just... zzz zzz zzz. Maybe a splash of Viognier would've helped, but as it stands, it's a bit boring. Still, the golden colour's decent, and there's something oddly comforting about the fudgy texture. Just don't expect fireworks. 🥃

Took a sip of this one the other night, and it's proper smooth – got that vanilla and coconut thing going on, reminds me of a sweetish white wine my mate once brought to a BBQ. Not too shabby, mind you, but not exactly mind-blowing either. The orange cream and custard notes are pleasant, like a fancy dessert, but then it sort of trails off into something thin and, well, a bit lousy. Had me nodding off by the second glass – zzz zzz zzz – definitely an Irish blend vibe, though nothing like proper Bailey’s. Gold in the glass, but honestly, it’s a bit boring by the end. Wouldn’t say no, but wouldn’t go hunting for it either.

Pour myself a dram and the first thought is "wow, this is quite like Malibu". Loads of coconut and a weirdly sweet, almost fudgy note. It's... pleasant, I suppose? But then it gets a bit thin, almost like a sweetish white wine. A Viognier, maybe? There's a tiny hint of something citrusy, like sour coco, but it vanishes. Honestly, after a few sips, it just becomes a bit... boring. Feels a bit like Chicken to lions lol. Starts with a bit of flair but then it's just "very good" in a really plain way. I'm almost yawning, could do with something with a bit more punch. Not bad, just not memorable. A dram that puts me to sleep, zzz zzz zzz 😅
