Penultimate day of my January #DramADay - was originally going to do this all year but I reckon 31 days is plenty!
Laphroaig is where so many people start their whisky journey. I did, and hated it. Now, it's one of my absolute favourites.
This batch 14 is superb too. A 4/5

Some absolutely sensational drams tonight. I've left with bottle of the Blair Athol 12 and only wish I could stretch to the Bowmore 27!
The Blair Athol was reeking of blackberries and raspberries
The Bowmore 27 was the perfect creamy smokey loveliness that Bowmore can deliver as it's best

First up a 16 yr Inchgower. Sweetness, vanilla and citrus with a touch of lychee. Two drops of water bring out the bitterness and makes it more grapefruit like.
Speyside not my thing, but it's very drinkable.

Today's #DramADay is on the road as I'm at a whisky tasting at the Windsor on Leith Walk. A smashing wee bar with a great whisky line up...what you taking from this to kick things off??!!
(Only some of what's on offer here!)

28th #DramADay a gorgeous looking Speysider
This the 5th batch, it's a heavily sherried 10 yr that carries a heavy dose of Christmas cake, cranberries, raisins and a little touch of black tea
Not typically my sort of dram, there is no denying this is Christmas in a glass. 3/5

27th #DramADay and back on the peat with this Spey Fumare.
Feels quite Islay like. Smoke feels coastal, salty & briney. Lacks complexity but if you want something smokey this would do just fine
The bottle is ridiculous though. Pain in the arse as doesn't fit on my shelves. 3/5

Day 26 of #DramADay and this Singleton is sweet oranges, sweet almonds and a little bit of cherry too.
The low abv steals something, at a higher strength this could be an absolute cracker. It's still a nice dram and not expensive either. I like it, just don't love it. 2/5

#DramADay 25 and finally a Loch Lomond in the Loch Lomond glass!
This is a belter. Distillery Edition 3 is a pineapple punch! It's sweet and sugary with a tropical flavour all the way through.
Even though I prefer peat, this is a smokeless smasher. 4/5

Day 24 of #DramADay & almost forgot the pic! A bottle kill & another smokey smasher!
I really enjoy this dram. Only thing I'd say about the Uigeadail is I feel there can be quite a variance from bottle to bottle
Loads of smoke, brine, bacon, salt and a touch of toffee. Lovely. 4/5

Day 23 of #DramADay and it's a classic!
The Glenfarclas 105 has been going since 1968. Nothing bad lasts that long...
Sweet and spicy. Pepper and nutty with a hint of honey. It's slightly bitter but delicious. At 60% a wee bit of water goes a long way.
A cracking dram. 4/5

Dram 22 #DramADay and one of my "inner circle" - a dram that I've drank at so many moments that it'll always be one I love.
Big body & peat packed. Rich citrus sweetness that makes it morish while the smoke is like that of an Arbroath Smokie. A classic. Ron approved. 5/5

#DramADay 21 and 2nd Highland Park in a row. A much smokier, smoother, sweet and complex dram than the 10yr.
Something like slightly burnt toffee, sultanas, salt and charred oak. Very drinkable. I prefer this to the 10 yr but it scores the same, a very good 3/5

#DramADay 20 and one of the better core range supermarket options. The 10 yr Highland Park has a nice soft smoke, with a wee bit of spicy and for me subtle salty liquorice.
It's a solid 3/5 and remains one of the whiskies I'll always point newbies too. An excellent intro dram

Day 19 of #DramADay & today it's a generous taster of the @bunnahabhain.bsky.social 21 yr 2024 edition
It smells AMAZING! Takes me back to the Warehouse 9 tasting room
Rich stewed fruits, leather, pecans, bitter orange, cranberry. Gorgeous. 5/5
