Tonight’s #BlindDrams hosted by us three Rentons (the Triumvirate, being three rulers) showcased whiskies from distilleries which are no more than 30 years old (Tridecadal, being a *ChatGPT word* for a 30 year period) - in honour of Lochranza Distillery’s (and Jamie’s) 30th birthday this year!

Dram 5: Like someone just said this is Jazz, a lot going on, lotf of great things to say about this. Not everybody's cup of tea. A 4 from me only because Dram 4 was more on balance for me. But this is still a great shouty dram, got a very cigar like note to it. Score 4. #Blind Drams
