Thanks again to @thewhiskywire.bsky.social for organising another great tasting and to @bravenewspirits.bsky.social for creating a fantastic lineup of bottlings.
My favourite tonight was the Royal Brackla followed by the Glen Elgin but would be happy with any of the others as well.

It’s a real treat to be able to feature a rum and a rum-arkable one at that in tonight’s tasting. Aged rums like this share so many similar notes, nuances and complexities to that of aged single malts. #BraveNewSpirits #LoveRum #RumLove
