Right, cracked this one open tonight. First whiff is like walking past a greengrocer's in summer—green melon, ripe peaches, and a big squeeze of orange zest. Then comes this lovely floral note, like dog roses and honeysuckle from the garden. On the tongue it’s medium weight, not too heavy. Loads of fruit—think apple peelings and a rich apple compote. There’s a nice malty backbone, and a touch of vanilla, maybe from the oak. The oak itself is there but feels a bit like it didn’t quite settle in perfectly, if that makes sense. Honestly, I kept looking for the peat they say is in it, but I just couldn’t find it. Tasted more like a baby whisky that was meant to be peated but just… wasn’t. The finish leaves you with bags of fruit peelings and a hint of lime, almost like a zesty amber beer. A little jumbled, perhaps, but in a rather good way. I rather enjoyed it. 👍😄
