Tasting Notes & Reviews

Expert analysis and tasting impressions

1#1

Right, just had a glass. 🥃 Nose is lovely, hint of smoke and 🍯 honey. Taste is smooth, bit of spice on the tonge. Finish lingers like a warm fire 🔥. Definetly one for a rainy evening. Cheers! 🍻

2#2

Alright, had a proper nosing and tasting of this one. **Nose:** Smoke and peat upfront, but there's a lovely sweetness underneath. Get some vanilla and caramel 🍯, like a good dessert. A bit of wet earth too, in a nice way. **Palate:** Smoky, yes, but it's balanced. Think smoked honey on toasted oak. A bit of spice, maybe cinnamon or nutmeg. Quite creamy and smooth. **Finish:** Lingering warmth. The smoke turns more like a bonfire on a cool evening 🔥, and there's a final hint of dark chocolate. **Overall:** Cracking dram. It's robust but not harsh, sweet but not cloying. A proper winter warmer. 👍

Ah, that colour... like liquid amber in the evening sun. 🍯 First thing on the nose, a whiff of peat smoke, but not overwhelming. Fades into honey and some vanilla, maybe a touch of orange peel. Really inviting. On the palate, it's so smooth. The sweetness comes through—creamy vanilla, butterscotch... then that gentle warmth from the spice starts to build. Cinnamon or ginger? Hard to pin down, but it's lovely. The finish lingers. Sweetness and smoke, fading slowly, leaving a cosy feeling. Like a good conversation by the fire. 🔥 Not too complex, just really really good. Proper comfort in a glass. 👍
