Numbers guy who likes a run and a dram. Join me on my whisky journey, one dram at a time.
Dram 5 - Score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 - I'd be over the moon if given a bottle of this, and would probably drink it fairly quickly. Good dram, but not as good as 3 and 4. #BlindDrams
Dram 4 - Score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 - I'd suck the sweaty toes of a senior brand executive for the opportunity to have a single drop more of this. Another 5. When's Mikes next turn? #BlindDrams
Dram 3 - Score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 - I'd suck the sweaty toes of a senior brand executive for the opportunity to have a single drop more of this. Banger. It's an Aperol Spritz of a dram. #BlindDrams
Dram 3 - Appearance: Slightly darker than the golden boot. Slightly lighter than a Balloon d'Or. Much thinnerine, much smaller beads. #BlindDrams
Dram 2 - Score: ⭐⭐ 2/5 - At a decent price I'd buy a glass of this, but wouldn't invest in a whole bottle. Not as nice as number 1. Again disappointed with the mouth feel. Just a little meh. #BlindDrams
Dram 2 - Appearance: Slightly lighter amber. Fat drops form on the glass #BlindDrams
Dram 1 - Score: ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 - Damn drinkable and if within my price range, I'd happily buy (or have bought) one of these and enjoy it. Decent, disappointed with the mouth feel. Something around 40-42% ABV. Finished in rye casks. Some sherry influence. Kazakhstan's first single malt? #BlindDrams
Dram 1 - Appearance: Burnished copper. Thick line on the glass. Slow to break into fat beads. #BlindDrams
Going for three at the back and two up top door @whiskywings.bsky.social World Cup' of Whiskies. #BlindDrams

My mum makes me a Christmas cake every year, but this year didn't have the opportunity to add any decorations. So I added some of my own.
One Christmas present for my Big Brother. And Santa had to leave one for me too, the Wee Brother.
Thank you #WhiskySanta. 🎅🥃 @masterofmalt.com @ardnamurchanwhisky.bsky.social

18 mile run followed by a (surprise) distillery visit today. Thankfully a stop off at the Nook in Abernethy provided sustenance in between.
