This one’s a proper dram to sip at the bar while swapping stories with the lads.

Nose: Rich sherried fruits strut in, like they own the place, backed by vanilla and chocolate sweetness. A cheeky hint of ginger and cinnamon spice sneaks in, keeping you on your toes.

Palate: Smooth as a well-worn bar stool, opening with vanilla and sherry, then letting nutty chocolate and red berry compote do a wee dance across the tongue. It’s comforting, yet with just enough character to keep you interested.

Finish: Medium-length and warming, dominated by oaky spice, ginger, and cinnamon—like the friendly pat on the back you get after finishing a pint.

Verdict: A well-balanced, approachable sherried whisky with plenty of chocolate and spice to keep things lively. The 2024 batch seems richer than past editions, and it’s non-chill filtered with natural color—none of that fancy fuss, just good whisky in a glass. Pull up a stool and enjoy; your taste buds will thank you.
