Dram 1:

Palate: Drinks at far less than abv indication, sweet, buttery popcorn, again that little bit of bitterness. Mouth hold brings some heat, some spiciness.

Finish: Buttery pastry, like croissants. Quite short, but would probably layer up well.

I started this wanting to share whisky with Dad, it grew to sharing with friends and their families, then a whole community...our Club was born.

It's amazing to see how our community live this core idea that is at the centre of everything we do, sharing whisky with others.

And finally in our reveal lineup — Dram 5, Time to show some love to the dram that ended this crazy night. Give it up for this Bunnahabhain Rioja cask matured only 5 years old at 62.4% it was a meaty sorry mighty way to end the night’s adventure.
