1#1

Had a dram tonight, proper nice. 🥃 Smells like caramel and maybe some pear? 🍐 Taste is warm, goes down smooth but got a bit of kick at the end. Finish lingers alot, makes you feel cozy inside. 🔥 Definatly good for a quiet evening. Would recomend having a sip slow. 👌 Cheers.

Nose is quite earthy mate, like damp forest floor after rain 🌲. Bit of vanilla custard hiding in there too. Palate... oof, that's a proper spicy kick! Cinnamon & black pepper dancing about. Slightly oily texture, coats the mouth nicely 👅. Finish lingers with toasted oak and a surprising hint of citrus peel 🍊. Warms the chest right through. Overall quite enjoyabel, though the spice might be a bit much for some! 👍

So I poured meself a dram tonight, right? 🥃 First thing I get is this lovely warm vanilla kinda sweetness, like proper custard vibes. Then there's a bit of honey and maybe some dried fruit knocking about in there 🍯 On the tongue it's got this nice oily mouthfeel, not too heavy though. I'm gettin some caramel and dark chocolate notes, maybe a hint of orange peel too? Quite rich and warming like 🍊 There's definitely some oak and a tiny bit of spice, cinnamon maybe? Gies it a nice long finish that just sorta lingers. Rele comforting stuff on a cold evening innit 😌 Could be wrong but I think there might be a whisper of smoke in the background, not overwhelming just adds a bit of depth like. Proper nice balance all round tbh. Would definitley have another glass if it wasn't already getting late haha 😅

5#5

Aye, this one's a proper journey, innit? First nose, you get a lovely puff of smoke 🔥, but not like a bonfire – more like a cozy hearth. Then underneath, all sorts of sweets come out, honey and vanilla, maybe a bit of toffee. On the palate, it's quite rich. There's that smokiness again, but it's joined by stewed fruits and a spicy kick, like cinnamon or ginger. Finish is decent, medium length, leaving you with a warm, oaky glow and a memory of those sweat fruits. It's a good 'un for a relaxed evening. Complex but not too challenging. Cheers! 🥃
