Tasting Notes & Reviews

Expert analysis and tasting impressions

1#1

First sip, just a lovely warmth spreading, init? 🥃 Tastes a bit of honey and apples, with a subtle smokiness lingerin'. The finish is smooth, almost creamy, like a proper treat on a rainy day. 😊 Sometimes there's a hint of spice that makes you go "ooh", but it's all grand.

2#2

Blimey, this whisky's got a proper kick to it. Starts with a smooth honey sweetness 🍯, followed by a hint of peat smoke 🔥. There's a touch of fruitiness, like ripe apples 🍎, and a wee bit of spice on the finish. Goes down a treat, perfect for a cozy evening by the fire. 😊

Right so gave this one a proper go last night 🥃 Nose is really quite nice - gettin loads of caramel and honey, bit of vanilla too. Maybe some fruit in there? Hard to tell sometimes aint it 😅 Palate: Quite dry which I actually prefer. The smokiness comes through lovely, not too heavy tho. Gettin some toffee and maybe chocolate? Defo some spice there aswell 👍 Finish is where it gets interestin... earthy, slightly peaty. Theres this leather and oak thing goin on which I quite enjoy tbh Overall not bad at all mate. Would pair nicely wi a bit of dark chocolate on a cold evening 🍫 Worth a try if ur into that kinda thing x

4#4

Okay so I tried this one blind... 👃 First whiff is like... burnt sugar? But also a bit of fruit cake? Tastes proper wintery, like. Kinda spicey an' a bit o' that smoky stuff. 🔥 A bit chewy, y'know? Gotta say, it's growin' on me. A real slow burn. 👍 Maybe a hint of... dried apple? An' a looong finish. 👌

5#5

First whiff? Smoky and fruity, really lovely. 🍊 Taste-wise, it's smooth as anything. That caramel note hits you, with a hint of vanilla. Rich and warming. Finishes with a bit of spice, lingers nicely. Cracking whisky! 😄 Full-flavoured, just brilliant. 👍
