Absolute belter. Creamy toffee pennies, choc orange, new leather and espresso. Minor spice. Excellent #Tamdhu spotting by @thewhiskybloke.bsky.social . Two bottles will not be enough. Refill oloroso magic #whisky

Hook line and sinker. They are appearing in the wild already

Master of Malt Mystery Competition - would be fuming if got any of the everyday winners, except the Maker Mark Cask Strength, or Bookers. That makes the odds of getting a bottle I think is value for £65 as 25% (364 / 1434). Goes live today at 12:00 GMT masterofmalt.com/mystery-drop/

The time has reached sensible, so... Here we go!

Oi oi! Now, where's my glass? I misplaced it knee sliding.

IYKYK @maltmusings.bsky.social @whiskypad.bsky.social and anyone else who knows someone like this 😂

Redbreast Lustau reduced to £45.99 on Amazon at the mo. Also, Scapa 10 for £40, Arran 10 for £34 and Laphroaig Lore for £59.99, Winters Gold for bout £25 (43%). Did you see anything else well priced?

Exceptional. A 21 year old Glen Grant (I think, when I checked previously) at 48%. Fanstastic work to the folks that put this commemorative bottle together at SMWS. Will discuss on the next recorded @honesttoamalt.bsky.social pod. Picked up from auction. Cheers 🥃

If you are a fan of Woodrow's of Edinburgh bottles, and want to hear from one of their founders, Megan, @honesttoamalt.bsky.social episode 97 was released yesterday. www.honesttoamalt.com/podcast/epis...

If you need to blow away a cold, your dram must be over 60%. Hard facts. In other trivia, single cask berbs peated Arran, is very easy to mistake for berbs Springbank in a blind. Make of that what you will. Cheers 🥃 #whisky

We had Scott Sneddon, Managing Director of InchDairnie Whisky on the @honesttoamalt.bsky.social podcast this evening. An absolute pleasure to chat with Scott and try Raw, and the Double Matured, 8 year old bottles. #whisky

The yearly visit to the brother in laws, to drink the Hibiki 12, which I bought him back about 7 years ago. Cheers all 🥃 #whisky

A really lovely drop. Had a sample, bought a bottle. The Golden Union Blended Malt. Tasting notes on @honesttoamalt.bsky.social YouTube youtu.be/uyDwcXn3g1k?... #BalconyDrams #Cheers 🥃

Well, you wouldn't want a warm whisky would ya? #NotToday #Fosters #BalconyDrams #TumblerClub

Some months after opening, with special effect loose cork, this Raasay Whisky @summertonclub.com is mostly smoky bacon, black liquorice, honey, and heather peat. Decent. #BalconyDrams #Whisky

Ardnahoe FE 2025. Harder to get than Springbank. Soon to be as desirable? Incredible distillery and team.

@smws.bsky.social Summer savings deal using code 'Summerpours'. Members only obvs.

Cheers Andrew 🥃

That 'Caduro' and a Scotia for summer. Anyone had this Loch Fyne GS single cask? 8 year old first fill bourbon, has to tick some delish boxes #AuctionBuys

Check out the reviews on the Siren bay! Which is still on sale at £55 on @masterofmalt.com. Paul W with a shout out for it being a Loch Lomond! People have suggested this bottle is really a Talisker, Ledaig, Deanston, AnCnoc... what are your thoughts? www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/sir...

Breaking news: Shock horror (if you're chivasking): Glentauchers berbs cask with some age is very good. #whisky #BalconyDrams #HardToRuinaTauchers

Better? 🤣🥃

Righteo BlueSky Whisky folk. Let's get this Good Friday evening sess' going. Easing in with a 43%er #TumblerClub. Cheers all 🥃

Fresh bottle Saturday.I have cracked this @summertonclub.bsky.social drop from earlier this year, the Speyburn 18, which intermingles the orchard fruits with raisins, toffee, a bit of citrus, and a kick of spice, and a whiff of smoke. Cheers all 🥃 #TumblerClub #Whisky

A fairly in-depth, dare I say 'nerdy episode', with Max Vaughan from @whitepeak.bsky.social . We try a few of the Wireworks single malts, and hear about how the distillery and whisky profile came to be. Thanks to Max for giving us his time a few weeks back 🙏🥃
