#WemyssMalts Dram 1: Palate: Drinks at far less than abv indication, sweet, buttery popcorn, again that little bit of bitterness. Mouth hold brings some heat, some spiciness. Finish: Buttery pastry, like croissants. Quite short, but would probably layer up well.

I started this wanting to share whisky with Dad, it grew to sharing with friends and their families, then a whole community...our Club was born. It's amazing to see how our community live this core idea that is at the centre of everything we do, sharing whisky with others.

And finally in our reveal lineup — Dram 5, Time to show some love to the dram that ended this crazy night. Give it up for this Bunnahabhain Rioja cask matured only 5 years old at 62.4% it was a meaty sorry mighty way to end the night’s adventure. #BlindDrams

Not a bad set if I say so myself and two crackers to finish off the Blind Drams for 2025. #BlindDrams

#BlindDrams #BTC51 scores: 2,3,4,3,4

Clearly, for me, 5 was the dram of the night but I have just gone back to 2 and it's better with more time in the glass. #BlindDrams

Great evening and fab drams. Thank You. No 2 was the fave but all the rest still scored 3. #BlindDrams

#BlindDrams #BTC51 Dram 5: palate opens with a sharp phenolic bite that quickly fades to deliver a sweeter note of barbecued meat and vegetables coated in a sweet chilli glaze. The smoke lingers throughout to give a long warm finish, a dram to listen to while listening to some light music

#BlindDrams - a notably good showing - barring the sojourn for the unneccessary pervertery - 3,1,3,3,4
