5 Score - 4 - The winner. Warming, medium-length, pure satisfaction - a bold, peaty beauty built for stormy Hebridean nights.

5P - Muddy cow field peat to smoky bonfire to salt & vinegar crisps. Dirty, briny, brilliant.

5N - Smoky balsamic vinegar and pickled onions. Sounds odd but somehow totally works.

4 Score - 3 - The divisive one so far (Jamie said 1, Callum said 4). A lovable troublemaker.

4F - Long, sweet, and gently burning. Sticks around like the last song at the ceilidh.

4P - Total plot twist - peach cobbler and burnt marmalade toast. Fiery, salty, a bit chaotic, but fun.

4N - Big hit of peat - finally! Lemon salt, wafer biscuits, a lovely coastal nose. Feels high ABV but balanced.

3 Score - 2 - Much better than Dram 2, but a bit too much sweet shop for me.

3P - More cola bottles, white pepper, and sweetness that just won’t quit. Water tames the spice but not the sugar rush.

3N - Oily and sweet - pure pick’n’mix energy 🍬. Cola bottles, sherbet, and a faint whiff of engine oil. Water makes it go full syrup.

2 Score - 1 - Not a fan unfortunately - would shine in a sauce, not in a Glencairn.

2F - Short, spicy, gone before you blink.

2P - Minerally like London tap water, faint pepper trying its best. Tastes like it’s missing the oomph.

2N - Musky whisky warehouse, raisins drowning in treacle. Add water and it leans dessert-heavy - treacle tart left out in the rain.

1 Score - 3 - Solid and drinkable, but not writing home about it. Nearly a 4 if it hung around longer.

1F - Short and slightly bitter

1P - Starts gentle, then ramps up fast 🌊. Old leather jacket, sweet smoke, and a hint of bandages for that medicinal edge.

1N - Pale gold, almost like London tap water. Earthy peat right away - Ledaig-style funk - then salted toffee apple 🍏. A splash of water smooths it into something sweeter and friendlier.

Medium, peat smoke, tasty, fiery, refreshing, mint

5P
Fresh peat, burnt ends, unctuous, frazzles, chimnea smoke, watery, earthy, germolene, best of the night

5N
Bread dough, brioche, WW2 gas masks, road tar, maple syrup, feels like visiting Scotland's Secret Bunker and the Museum of Islay Life in the same day

Too long (even tho it’s short lol), got nothing, passes like a ship in the night
