#BlindDrams Tonight was a little Tour de France, exploring Scotch Whisky with a French influence - a celebration of the auld alliance. It was an experiment of sorts, but I hoped you enjoyed it. Either way, merci for taking part and #PardonnezMonFrancais - Santé 🥃

#BlindDrams Dram 5 - Palate: Mega smoke, great texture and warmth. Salty, yet sweet. This is really good!

#BlindDrams Dram 5 - Nose: pencil sharpenings and a slight hint of acetone. There's some definite smoke to this one.

#BlindDrams Dram 4 - Palate: Cola bottle sweets, sweet barbecue flavoured crisps. This is my favourite so far, much more up my street!

#BlindDrams Dram 4 - Nose: Oak tannins and old leather galore, this smells fantastic. A good swirl of the glass and there's fat legs that fall slowly.

#BlindDrams Dram 3 - Told you I'd catch you up! The nose on this is giving me, mezcal vibes and a touch of parma violets. On the mouth feel and palate, the ABV feels like much less forward.

#BlindDrams Dram 2: Again lovely long legs clinging to the glass, not youthful like the previous dram. Decent ABV, lots of citrus/orange on the palate. Speed tasting score: 2.

#BlindDrams Dram 1: Spiritful with long looking legs, strong and bold on the palate, not unpleasant though. A solid 2 I think.
