#BlindDrams #BTC55 - Many thanks for accompanying me on this musical whisky journey. The initial letter of each distillery name GCABA corresponds to Fa-Ti-So-La-So in the key of D Minor. I rate all these drams very highly, hopefully some of them struck a chord with you. Until the next time…

#BlindDrams #BTC55 #FiveDot - And for the final crescendo, we’re back up in the west highlands of Scotland (via Islay and the Friends of Bruichladdich) for an exclusive FOB Single Cask Ardnamurchan, AD/09.17 CK.677, 6yo, Peated 1st Fill Spanish Oak Ex-PX Hogshead, 60.2%, 314 Bottles.
