Poured myself a dram last night, just a quiet evening in front of the telly. First thing that hit me was this gorgeous deep amber colour — proper beautiful in the glass 🥃 Nose-wise, I got this lovely heather and orange squash vibe, kind of like walking through the Scottish countryside on a warm day. There's something almost medicinal about it though, bit camphory, bit mentholy... reminded me of my nan's old sweet shop actually, all fudges and liquorice. Then on the palate — oh mate. This thing is smooth as anything. Really complex too. Got these stewed prunes and dried fruits, figs and dates, all wrapped up in what I can only describe as mutton suet pastry from a proper Sunday roast 😂 There's tobacco in there too, like an old cognac or that old amontillado my uncle keeps for special occasions. The oak's been done to perfection honestly, and there's this lovely manuka honey sweetness running through it all. Shortbreads and toasted croissants at the end — I know that sounds daft but trust me. Finish goes on forever. Old tobaccos, resinous notes, bit of miso soup weirdly enough 🤔 Proper miracle in your glass this one. Glorious stuff.
