500ml bottle as Highland Cow from Eilean Donan gift shop - hazy brown body, lasting white top. Nose is fruity malt and caramel, dark fruits and raisins in the taste, Dundee cake nuttiness with a bit of bitterness at the end. Decent stuff.

Bottle as Bo Ghaidhealach, from the Misty Bottle, Skye. It pours hazy dark brown with a fizzy, dissipating khaki head. The aroma is earthy roast, dark berries, blueberry, blackberry, jam, fruit cake, cacao, bourbon biscuits and nutty vibes. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, good depth of fruit, berries and also dried fruits, blackberry, blueberry, raisin, fruit cake, dry wood, leather, spice, dry leaves, toothy and chewy vibes with a dry, toasty finish. Medium body and moderate, fizzy carbonation. I actually quite like it. Nice depth of fruit.

Bottle on the train back from Inverness, thanks to Ginge, 11/10/21. Lightly hazed amber with a beige head that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is stewed fruits, toffee, grains, nutty. Taste comprises brown bread, dried fruits, toffee, stewed fruit esters. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Passable affair.
