Tasting Notes & Reviews

Expert analysis and tasting impressions

1#1

Right, had a sip of this earlier. 🥃 Smels proper smoky, like a bonfire night. 🔥 Taste is sweetish too, maybe carmel? Goes down smooth but warms the chest. Finish lasts quite awhile. Definately one for a rainy evening. 🌧️ Cheers. 🍻

2#2

Right, this one's got a real creamy texture, like, with a bit of a kick. 🥃 There's notes of... let's see... a bit of fruit, maybe berries, and a smoky aftertaste that lingers. 👅 Quite enjoyabel on a cold evening. 😊

3#3

Alright so this one's proper lovely 👌 First thing I get is this creamy vanilla and honey sweetness, like proper warm and comforting init. Then theres a bit of fruitiness comes through, maybe some apple or pear notes? And yeah theres definitely some woody spice in there, like cinnamon or nutmeg kinda thing. The finish is quite long and smooth, left with this nice caramel sweetness and just a tiny bit of smoke 🥃 Really well balanced, could easy have a few of these of a evening. Very moreish ngl

4#4

Blimey, this whisky’s got a lovely smokyness to it, with a bit of honey and apple coming through. 🍎 The finish is long and warming, kinda spicy – perfect for a chilly evening. Slight rough edges, but that adds to the character, innit? 😉

5#5

Ahh right, so this one's got a real nice smokiness to it, not too heavy though. Bit of caramel and vanilla comin through nicely 🥃 Getting some fruit as well, maybe like dried fruit? And there's definitely honey there, lovely warmth to it. Proper woody taste as well, quite complex init. Ooh and a hint of chocolate at the end, very pleasant. Really quite enjoyble on a cold evening this one 👌
