3P High abv, effervescent, sweet, medium mouthfeel, char/burnt note, red cola, apple juice #BlindDrams

3N Bronze/amber, a bit more oily, same distillery as dram 2?, musty, coastal air, nose prickling #BlindDrams

Almost time for #BlindDrams #BTC60 Silent Groovy 60’s Disco Tonight’s host is a mystery - @maltmusings.bsky.social has been keeping it a closely guarded secret. 😮

5 Score Drams 4 and 5 were what we were promised. Drams 1, 2 and 3 were illegally lifted over the turnstile like a young Ben. A very splendid score of 4 #BlindDrams

5F Long, salty, smoky, vinegar, salt #BlindDrams

5P Walkers salt and vinegar crisps sprinkled with peat powder, saltyyyyyyy, some farmy/manure notes, high abv, a spot of water gives a smack in the face , dirty engine oil #BlindDrams

5N Back to Mr Croft Original paleness, smoky and peaty, decent bonfire going on, sweet background, salt crystals, oily in the glass, almost a tinge of green (typical Ben), meaty #BlindDrams

4 Score Best of the night by far, a very creditable 4 #BlindDrams

4F CREME EGG (all my own work), long (slightly harsh), fruity and peaty, sugar syrup #BlindDrams

3 Score Okay without water, better with water Probably a 2 #BlindDrams

3F Lingering wood spices, some dark fruits with water, medium length finish, some smoke and maybe rubber #BlindDrams

Candy cigarettes (how were they ever allowed), decent mouthfeel compared to 2, end of palate is wood spices and white pepper, one drop of water improves it/cancels out the pepper #BlindDrams

3N Very dark brown, big hit of Sherry, Woolworth's Pick-n-Mix, hardly any peat (we were promised peat!), more oily, higher abv than dram 2 (but then so is Irn Bru), artificial sweetness, cola cubes, with water is noses like a damp dishcloth #BlindDrams

2 Score Seems like a brave attempt, but not for me - fell asleep half way through Score 1 (and lucky to get that) #BlindDrams

2F Out of date water!, lingering spices (not in a good way), bland, soft toffee #BlindDrams

2P Watery, thin, peat, metallic, oak spices, (cardamom?), low-ish abv, like an old bottle that's been open since the 1990s. #BlindDrams

2N Dark reddy brown, quite watery in the glass, low 40s abv, damp wood, background peat, raisins, treacle, molasses #BlindDrams #BlindDrams

1 Score Nose would score higher but overall youth and bitterness gives it a 2 or 3 (tbd) #BlindDrams

1F Lingering spiritiness, Lemsip, quite unexpectedly short, very sweet with water #BlindDrams

1P Deliciously salty, young, slight bitter wood, leather handbag ("a Handbag?!"), high abv, starts well but mid palate it changes and isn't so pleasant. #BlindDrams

1N Very pale, salty, coastal, decent hint of peat, high 50s abv, sweet/icing sugar, fairly young? #BlindDrams

All set for #BTC59 #BlindDrams hosted by @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social

5 Score Another 2, not for me 😢 #BlindDrams

5N Lovely golden colour, a little salt, yet more adhesive, corn, sweet, some soft caramel #BlindDrams

4 Score Roy Easing is not my friend Score 2 #BlindDrams

4F Too long, bitter, metallic, slightly drying #BlindDrams

4P More glue/adhesive, overly sweet, corn, metallic, more of that graininess, rusty nails, my head is actually sore now #BlindDrams

4N Are all these from the same distillery? There’s something similar with them all. Dark gold in colour, still not much oiliness, some salt, bubblegum, sea wall, summer meadow #BlindDrams
