Just cracked my latest auction buy, a few drops of water, and holding in the mouth reveals super fruity flavours, and a gentle smokiness for me 🥰

A question for the auction buying whisky purchasers amongst you, who’s your go to auction?

Tonight's votes from me are 3,1,2,1,4. #BlindDrams

Dot 5 Finish - Very long, very high ABV, so fruity and spicy, certainly not for a whisky novice. makes up for the other 4 drams for me, I'll give this a 4. #BlindDrams

Dot 5 palate - Big palate, a real red fruit medley, red chilli spice, a right handful. The best palate too tonight imho, rounded, Opal fruits, old leather, bourbon cherryness, hot honey, golden syrup, and a mineral water note at times. #BlindDrams

Dot 5 Nose - The best nose tonight for me already. pine cleaner, evergreen boughs, green apple skins, new suede shoes, leather bookmarks with the rough back. Red apple skins come forward, back of a decorators van, it's more rounded, and quite strong. #BlindDrams

Dot 4 Finish - Medium long. and carries on like the bulk of the palate. If you want spice, you'll get it, but it's not offering me much more. Sorry @maltmusings.bsky.social but it's a 1 for me 😬 #BlindDrams

Dot 4 Palate - Very spicy, sulphurous, old style window putty, chilli heat, red berries are coming through, peated? maybe, I'm getting hints, but nothing concrete. Honey in the background, some faint topical fruits. #BlindDrams

Dot 4 Nose - Initially, wood forward, like dot 2. It's a big powerful nose, plenty of ABV, but like dot 2, it's holding onto its aromas for me, like some cask strength drams do. I'll add water later, I think it needs it. #BlindDrams

Dot 3 Finish - The mouthfeel thickens with time, and we're diving into all things dark fruits, dark chocolate, and it's reasonably long. I'm giving it a 2. #BlindDrams

Dot 3 Palate - Thin on tasting, engine oil, cumin and 5 spice, hickory infused black coffee, molasses, chocolate spread, the palate is better than the nose to be fair. #BlindDrams

Dot 3 Nose - Initial notes are balsa wood and stale laundry? WOW. icing sugar is coming through, there are other aromas, but they don't want to come forward, they hang on the perifary. I don't have a blocked nose, and am struggling with this one. I'm thinking wrong ABV #BlindDrams

Dot 2 finish - Quite short in length, and another that doesn't develop much for me. it's not bad as such, but there's much better drams imho, it's a 1 for me. #BlindDrams

Dot 2 Palate - Another that brings spices, white pepper initially, peppermint? green chilli's, dunnage, damp leaf litter and quite earthy for me. green grapes like the nose, lime, and pomelo. can't wait to see what this is, it's a little confused for me tbh. #BlindDrams

Dot 2 Nose - First off, toffee apples. Them grapefruit pith, mineral water, ozone, and it's fizzy on the nostrils for me. Green grapes, a little pine cleaner, tropical fruits are slowly pushing through. It's definitely a fresh clean type of nose. #BlindDrams

Dot 1 Finish - Medium long, and doesn't develop any further for me, which I'm happy with, I like the palate anyway. that gets a 3 from me. #BlindDrams

Dot 1 palate - Initially quite gentle, then spices surge forward. first note was honey, then blackcurrants, pomegranate, Victoria plums, that balsa wood from the nose, and red liquorice. Red apple skin, chill jam, and heading towards chocolate coated strawberries #BlindDrams

Dot 1 Nose - A little vegetal, balsa wood, and linseed oil, this seems a little shy on the nose at the moment. #BlindDrams

I’m getting ready for tonight’s #BlindDrams

Tonight, we've shared, sipped and savoured a trio of treats from The London Distillery Company. What are your overall thoughts and highlights? #TLDCWhisky #London #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

A big thank you to @londondistilleryco.bsky.social and @thewhiskywire.bsky.social for tonight’s tasting. Three lovely drams were imbibed, and I can’t fault any of them 🤤 #TLDCWhisky

Thoughts - I really enjoy a good Rye whisky, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this one. I offers all that I’d hoped for tbh, and it’s a bottle i’d definitely have 🤤 #TLDCWhisky

The finish - Long in length for me, and it continues to the end like the bulk of the palate flavour wise, with more intensity now, and a sweetness that joins in for the ride, but it’s definitely more spicy. #TLDCWhisky

On the palate - Black cherries feature here too, with cigar leaves, damp leaf litter, the rye brings a dark spiciness, with cocoa powder. The sweet fruitiness runs perfectly with those dark spices, they work so well together for me. #TLDCWhisky #LoveTheRye

18 months finishing in 1st fill sherry octaves, then combining those octaves into a refill sherry quarter cask for 6 months more. That's on top of the 4 years this had in English oak before it was originally bottled. 3 different homes ;) #TLDCWhisky

…this iteration of the Company operated from a small, but ambitious site in Battersea. It quickly gained recognition for its innovative approach – combining traditional production methods with a fresh, contemporary vision. #TLDCWhisky #London #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

London Distillery Company: Yesteryear - London Rye Whisky. This has got an amazing nose, reminiscent of sitting in an old library, leather and pine furniture polish. Date and figs, floral honey, slightly burnt toast and cola cubes. #TLDCWhisky

Yesteryear stands as a bridge between what was and what’s to come - honouring the past while shaping the future of London whisky. #TLDCWhisky #London #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

The London Distillery Company Yesteryear London Single Rye Whisky ABV: 52.3% Casks: Initially matured in English oak, then finished infirst-fill Oloroso Sherry octaves and refill Sherry qtr casks Available from the TLDC website for a RRP of £69.95: londondistillery.co.uk/yesteryear/ #TLDCWhisky

Yesteryear was born from the 2011 founding of The London Distillery Company, crafted anew from the distillery’s LV-1767 Edition - the first new London whisky for over 100 years. #TLDCWhisky #London #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

On the nose - It is coming across quite spicy. Initially black pepper, plenty of wood, black liquorice, triple choc cookies, it’s another that’s quite dusty, old books, black cherries in syrup, tooty fruity blackcurrant sweets, with those old style pink bubblegums. #TLDCWhisky

Right #DramFam it’s time to move onto our third and final sip of the night; The London Distillery Company Yesteryear. What can you uncover and discover on the nose? #TLDCWhisky #London #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

Thoughts - Another lovely flavourful dram from the @londondistilleryco.bsky.social. It’s quite different to their 10yo, as would be expected, and it’s a nice clean sherry cask whisky, no sulphure 🙏 #TLDCWhisky

The finish - It’s nice and long, and stays fruity and spicy until the end. Dark chocolate, dates and molasses finish the palate. #TLDCWhisky

On the palate - Oilier mouthfeel for me this dram, and lots of spices arrive straight away. Darker pepper, hazelnuts, black cherries, dark plums, anise, light tannins, Black Forest gateaux and molasses, and like the nose there is a nice oily aroma. #TLDCWhisky

The London Distillery Company is back, and ready to redefine what it means to be a true London distillery in the 21st century. #TLDCWhisky #London #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment
