Tasting Notes & Reviews
Expert analysis and tasting impressions
Right, just had a nip of this. 🥃 Nose is proper peaty, reminds me of Islay. 🏴 Palate... smoth at first, then spice hits. 🌶️ Finish lingers nice and warm. Definatly one for the cold evenings. ☔ Cheers mates.
That initial hit... like walking into an old woodyard, all that smoke and a bit of leather 👍 Then it opens up, nice bit of honeyed sweetness, almost fruity. Finish is drier, warms you right through. Proper job. 🥃 Bit of a cough at the start, that peat! But it mellows out lovely. Getting some apple peel, or maybe pear? Malty backbone holds it all together. Satisfying stuff. 😊 Honestly, reminds me of autumn in a glass. Heaps of smokiness upfront, but there's a softer, citrusy thing underneath. Warming finish, really lingers. Brilliant. 😄 Cheers!
Open the bottle and you get this lovely honeyed apple nose right away 🍎🍯. On the palate it's all vanilla and cinnamon warmth, with a hint of citrus peel 🍊. The smokiness is there but it's gentle, not punchy 🔥. Really quite smooth and balanced overall. Definately one to sip slowly and enjoy!
Blimey, this whisky's got a real smoky vibe at first, like a proper bonfier. Then it mellows out with some sweet, malty notes – a bit of honey, maybe. There's a subtle spicyness on the finish, quite warming. Really nice for sipping on a rainy day. 👍😊 Sometimes I get hints of earth or peat, but it's not too strong. Overall, a lovely dram that makes you feel all cozy.
First sip hits with that classic smokey peat, innit? 🔥 Really warming, like a proper campfire in winter. Then you get this lovely honey sweetness coming through 🍯, mix’d with some vanilla and oak. A bit of caramel in the middle, and fruity hints too – maybe apple or pear? Finish’s smooth with a touch of chocolate. Right nice, mate. 👍 Just gotta savour it, you know? The smokiness lingers but the honey keeps it balanced. Oaky undertones give it depth. Yeah, this is a proper good dram. 😋
