Bottle from Aldi Inverurie. It pours clear deep reddish-brown with a decent frothy off-white head. The aroma is rich and sweet, sticky, jammy fruits, red berry, Victoria sponge cake, cranachan, toffee, warming whisky, honeyed cereal, twist of citrus and candied peel. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, decent hit of boozy action upfront, red fruits, jammy, victoria sponge cake, toffee, fudge, whisky, wood, resin, peppery spice, toothy and a touch of liquorice. Medium+ body and average carbonation. Probably my favourite of the serious. Whisky and base beer work fairly well together. Decent.

Bottle from Aldi Inverurie. It pours clear rich golden - amber with a decent white head. The aroma is sweet, honeyed grain, cereal, brioche, dried fruits, golden sultana, fruit cake, porridge with whisky, some apple and pear. The taste is bitter - sweet, slick, oily, pretty fruity, honeyed grains, apple, pear, melon, dried fruits, boozy vibes, hint of permanent marker pen, nip of spice, earth, damp wood and tannin with a dry finish. Medium+ body, fine carbonation and oily mouth feel. As it warmed it came across harsher and boozier. Fair.

Taste comprises peated malts, fruit esters, biscuit, grains, light spice, caramel. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of alcohol.
