Tasting Notes & Reviews
Expert analysis and tasting impressions
Right, had a dram of this last nite. Proper intresting it was. 🥃 Nose is smoky, like a cozy fire side. 🪵 Not too overpowerin'. Taste? Sweet honey at first, then a bit of spice kickin' in. Maybe some dried fruit? Finish is warm, lingers nicely. Would defo have another glass. Bit rough on the throte initially but settles down. Good stuff for a rainy evening. 🌧️ Colur is lovely gold too. ✨ Cheers! 🍻
Nose: A lovely mix of vanilla and... smoke? Yeah, a bit of smokiness, and some dried fruit. Palate: Caramel sweetness hits first, then a bit of citrus zest. Mouthfeel is quite smooth, almost creamy. Finish: Medium length, with a lingering warmth and a touch of oak. 🥃 Pretty good drop, innit?
Alright, so had a dram of this one last night after work... here's wha I got: 🍯 First sip - imediatly hit with honey and like, baked apples? Proper autumn vibes. There's a bit of vanilla cream in there too, lovely stuff. 🍊 Got some citrus coming through after a minute - orange peel sorta thing. Maybe a touch of lemon zest? Keeps it fresh, innit. 🍫 Then it goes all rich and dark - sherry notes for sure, bit of dark chocolate, maybe some dried fruit? Dates or figs, summat like that. 🪵 The finish tho... proper warming. Bit of oak and spice, tiny wisp of smoke that just lingers. Gets a wee bit nutty aswell - marzipan maybe? 🥃 All in all, quite a complex wee dram. Goes down smooth, no harshness at all. Would definitley reach for this one again on a cold evening. 7.5/10 👍 the buttery mouthfeel is class
Smoky start... 🍂 Fruity middle... 🍎 Sweet vanilla & caramel... 🍯 A hint of honey & spice. 🔥 Realy makes you feel all cozy inside, like a proper winter warmer. 👍
