#BlindDrams #BTC55 - Many thanks for accompanying me on this musical whisky journey. The initial letter of each distillery name GCABA corresponds to Fa-Ti-So-La-So in the key of D Minor. I rate all these drams very highly, hopefully some of them struck a chord with you. Until the next time…

#BlindDrams #BTC55 #ThreeDot - Back on the mainland and we’re on the same site as one of the largest grain distilleries in Scotland… Girvan. However, this is no Single Grain, it’s Ailsa Bay. Sweet (SPPM) Peat (PPM) with a magnificent granite stopper! NAS, 48.9%.
