Tasting Notes & Reviews

Expert analysis and tasting impressions

1#1

Right, this dram’s got a proper mix of nutty, lether, citrus, earthy and a wee medicinal whiff right off the bat. 🥜🍋💊 On the sip, it’s sweet apple, smoky raisin, toffee, and oak, with a touch of malt. Then that iodine and vanilla creep in, along wi’ some dried fruit. There’s a hint of biscuit, ginger, waxy stuff, umami, peat, honey and a bit of floral too. 🌿🍏🔥 Finishes long and smoky, dried fruits, citrus and a lovley oakyness. Cheers! 🥃

2#2

First sip – blimey, it's smooth as silk! 🍸 Got a nice smoky vibe, but not too overpowerin'. A bit of sweetness creepin' in, like ripe apples or summat. Really warms ya up on a gloomy day. 😌 Cheers to that! 🥃 (Oh, and a faint whiff of vanilla? Tastes lovelly with a drop of water.)

3#3

Oh this one's got a real kick! 🥃✨ First sip – you get this warm, spicy thing right away, kinda like cinnamon and maybe some clove? Then it opens up to something sweeter, like honey and baked apple. Really reminds me of a cozy autumn day. Finish is long and warming, with a bit of that oak coming through. Proper winter warmer, this. Cheers! 🔥
