#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

Overall scores: 2, 4, 4, 2, 1 #blinddrams

#BlindDrams Dram 2 was my fav of the night.

#BlindDrams dot 5 - the salt is pretty fierce, but I really like it ... I'm scoring strong still and it gets a 4

5 S: A solid 4 for this one, quite a flavour bomb. Not subtle, but packing a tasty punch. G: A PX-finished Caol Ila? #BlindDrams #BTC51

#BlindDrams Scores from me: 2,3,4,3,4

2,4,4,3,2 #blinddrams

D5 My favourite of the night, as is always the casew with the peated ones. It's not quite enough for the top marks so it's a very strong 4/5 #BlindDrams #BTC51

5 R: some water adds lots of chocolate to the nose and palate #BlindDrams #BTC51

Before the big reveal... my scores 2, 4, 4, 3, 4 #BlindDrams

5 F Salt, medium/long, maritime, surely it’s not 🐨, and yet more salt #blinddrams
