The dram comes in a deep gold swirl, hits the nose with ginger and a whiff of pu‑erh tea, the palate is spectacular – a bit of cardamom, the sweet bite of a Mars bar, a touch of pipe tobacco and some superb aromatic herbs. There's a spicy cake feel, a hint of smoked tea, bitter caramel and bitter oranges dancing with black raisins and roasted nuts. The earthiness grounds it, while peppered raisins and a faint chilli liqueur kick give it a long, warm finish. Honestly, it beats the old ones hands down. 😊

Oh mate, just poured a wee darm of this little grain number, and blimey 🥃 First sniff: bitter oranges, smoked tea, those superb aromatic herbs, cardamom and cloves jump right out Sip’s even better: bitter caramel, roasted nuts, chestnuts, a hit of ginger and pepper, even a little peppered raisin pop Then the mid notes roll in, earthy depths, caraway, black raisins, a subtle warmth from chillies, even a whiff of pipe tobacco and cigar like I’m in my grandad’s old study Finishes so very long, lingering menthol, spiced cake, even a cheeky Mars bar sweetness that makes me go “how spectacular” 😯

Just had this great little grain whisky after popping to the pub, honestly? 🤌 First sip’s got that nice little peppery kick, followed by all the warm roasted nuts and bitter caramel, plus a proper lovely whiff of smoked tea and pipe tobacco that’s so cozy. You get those deep black raisins, bitter orange zing, a little warm chilli liqueur tingle right at the back, plus all the superb aromatic herbs, cardamom, caraway, even that earthy pu-erh depth? The cask accounts for most of the flavours, hands down. Finish is very long, leaves that soft menthol tingle, little spice from cloves and ginger, even a faint hint of cigars lingering. Spicy cake notes too, loads of depth and complexity, honestly beats the old grain whiskies I used to neck hands down. Spectacular little drop for a quiet night in 🥃

Blimey, this dram’s a real corker! First sniff hits you with superb aromatic herbs and a whiff of cigars – proper cosy. The palate’s a riot of chillies and menthol, like someone’s slipped a bit of Chilli liqueur in there, but it’s balanced by chestnuts, roasted nuts and a mellow Great little grain whisky warmth. Bitter oranges and black raisins dance about, while pepper and cloves give it a spicy cake edge. There’s earth and ginger down below, and a bitter caramel sweetness that’s oddly addictive. The finish is very long, with a hint of pu-erh and smoked tea lingering, plus some cardamom and caraway that make you think of granddad’s pipe tobacco. How spectacular – it’s like a Mars bar crossed with a spicy fruitcake, but in the best way possible. Depth and complexity for days, this one. 🥃

Ooooh, this is proper bonkers in the best way—like someone stuffed a Christmas cake with chilli liqueur and set it on fire! First hit’s all warm ginger and cardamom, then BOOM, bitter oranges and cloves punch through like a Boxing Day hangover. The menthol sneaks in like a cheeky cough drop, while smoked tea and pipe tobacco make it feel like lounging in a gentleman’s club with a cigar dangling from your lips. Black raisins and peppered raisins dance around the edges, sweet but with a kick like a Mars bar left in the sun. Chestnuts and roasted nuts add that cosy fireplace vibe, but then—oh Christ—the earthiness of pu-erh kicks in, all damp forest floor and deep gold richness. The finish just lingers forever, like a ghost of spicy cake and caraway still haunting your tongue hours later. How spectacular is that?! 🔥
