This Royal Brackla from LBD Spirits was fantastic. The distillery character really shone through.

A wonderful visit to @lindoresabbey.bsky.social today. Some amazing history and fantastic drams. Thanks for your hospitality.

A wee trip to sunny Speyside today. There are a lot of interesting special releases available such as the Chinquapin and Mizunara from GlenAllachie. Glen Moray have this and it is amazing!

A fantastic tour and tasting with Dornoch Distillery yesterday. Great to hear more about the development of Struie as well.

A wee blast from the past tonight. The first HP I ever tasted. Still a fantastic drop.

For the last few years I've not been tasting a lot from Highland Park.

It is however capable of making some really beautiful whisky as this single cask tasted recently at Dornoch Castle shows.

A stunning example of what's possible.

One of the things I love about Christmas is a decent sherry. This from Gonzalez Byass is beautifully rich but not too sweet.

Kicking the evening off with a classic Old Fashioned. Simple but really tasty!

Tonight's first dram was this cracker from Edradour. A fairly full on flavour profile and expressive, I'd suggest it's a real bargain in the current market.

A couple of pictures from this year's Dornoch Whisky Festival. Some awesome drams tasted with @socialdrammer.bsky.social

What a fantastic tasting last night.

The distillery manager led us through a line up of older and now hard to find vintage bottlings including a very special dram for the road.

Brought back wonderful memories of past visits to the distillery with my father, and friends. 🥃

A clear out of the understairs cupboard revealed this lurking in the depths! Decent but will hopefully improve with time.

Wow, isn't it lovely over here. My first post is a newly arrived Bunnahabhain 12 cask strength. 2021 version was ok, 2022 a cracker so high hopes for this 2023 release.

Thanks to @socialdrammer.bsky.social for getting me over here
