Off to #Edinburgh for a dreich afternoon of street photography. Digital today, not in the mood to struggle with film in the low light that passes for a Scottish winter! Still, doesn't rain in the pubs 😁🍺🥃

Just catching up with the latest episode of Landward on the BBC - great visit to Islay. Dougie gets a wee taste of Bruichladdich's rye whisky... jealous!

Dram 5 score - 3

Smokey & sweet, lovely. Opens up well with water.

Dram 5 palate - sweeter than the nose suggests, very much glazed bacon on this one. A little one-dimensional.

#BlindDrams
October 11, 2025 at 8:13 PM
Dram 5 nose - grilled fruit peat smoke on this one, quite heathery and floral. Nice!

Dram 4 score - 4

Best yet, really love the funky savoury notes although a drop of water definitely required.

#BlindDrams

Dram 4 palate - quite hot, high abv? More funkiness but with plenty spiced fruit & a savoury back note. Opens up really nicely with a drop of water.

#BlindDrams

Dram 4 nose - now this one smells good, very funky & sweaty. Unripe plums & white strawberries, even a slight hint of smoke.

Dram 3 score - 3

The sweetness on this one makes me think of an STR cask here maybe?? Bit too sweet to elevate this above a still solid three.

#BlindDrams
October 11, 2025 at 7:45 PM
Dram 3 palate - foremost this one's sweet & sour, moreso than the nose. Reminds me of a light red wine.

#BlindDrams
October 11, 2025 at 7:43 PM
Dram 3 nose - nice and sweet, red grape & red apple. Some prune tang in there too.

#BlindDrams
October 11, 2025 at 7:37 PM
Dram 2 score - 2

Opens nicely with a drop of water, a solid score of two for me!

#BlindDrams
October 11, 2025 at 7:32 PM
Dram 2 palate - quite spicy & tart. Apples & raisins plus a hint of acetone, a blend maybe?

#BlindDrams
October 11, 2025 at 7:26 PM
Dram 2 nose - cereal notes, with apricot, gooseberry, white grape & a funky background.

Dram 1 score - 3

Not a huge fan of grain whisky normally but this is one of the better ones I've had. Really solid start for sure!

#BlindDrams
October 11, 2025 at 7:18 PM
Dram 1 palate - got to be a grain with that candy sweetness, lots of shortbread & vanilla. And sugar. Drop of water doesn't do much here either.

#BlindDrams
October 11, 2025 at 7:14 PM
Here we go for #BlindDrams #BTC58!!

Dram 1 nose - light lemon sherbet, a little herbal and piney. A grain whisky maybe?!?
