Listen up Dram Fam! Keep your eyes peeled over the next couple of weeks for details of a particularly epic Tasting over on X and Bluesky. #BePartOfTheDramfotainment #Scotch #Whisky #KeepEmPeeled

At Johns for the footy & some drink. Brought my Blair Athol to finish. This is a great whisky but damn it was expensive (£120 nearly 4 years ago), an anniversary gift from my wife. The current BYO prices are around £140 I believe! There should be a term coined for Diageo ripping your eyes out….

Dram no 1 this evening is Bowmore 10 - Aston Martin edition. A travel retail purchased shared with me by @johnwt.bsky.social Not tried this one in a while.

Very much looking forward to pouring and exploring this year’s Ardbeg Day release, launched ahead of the distillery’s annual namesake day of celebration, on Saturday May 30th, as part of the Islay Festival of Music and Malt (Fèis Ìle)… #Ardbeg #Scotch #Whisky

Still available from M&S. It’s a step up (only just) from the regular 10 Year Old Slainte 🥃 #BackForTheWhisky

Dram number one (Chinese has arrived in record time!!!) But this Blair Athol first. #BackForTheWhisky

A huge thanks to @thewhiskywire.bsky.social and to #TheNetherfield for accepting me onto tonight’s tasting. They are a brand to watch, some good prices & a very good house edition. Thanks 🙏

Black Lake Vodka from #TheNetherfield I'm not a fan of Vodka, can't say I've tried it in 40 years since my student days! Nose: very light, vanilla, a little lemon and some spice Palate: is pleasant enough, smooth and creamy, but not getting much past the vanilla and alcohol Finish: lingering vanilla

How does this one feel on the palate. Very keen to hear the thoughts of those on both sides of the vodka fence. Remember this release is more about its refinement and texture - the science of silence. #TheNetherfield #BePartOfTheDramfotainment #BlackLakeVodka

The first stage of freeze filtration pays tribute to an ancestral Siberian ritual, in which raw spirit was poured over metal bars left outdoors in the depths of winter, allowing intense cold and frozen steel to draw out impurities. #TheNetherfield #BePartOfTheDramfotainment #BlackLakeVodka

Black Lake Vodka begins with an ultra-premium spirit refined on The Netherfield Estate, through a distinctive dual-filtration process. #TheNetherfield #BePartOfTheDramfotainment #BlackLakeVodka

The spirit then undergoes the classic Russian charcoal filtration method, developed in the 18th century. The synergy of these combined techniques removes all impurities, delivering exceptional clarity, smoothness and purity. #TheNetherfield #BePartOfTheDramfotainment #BlackLakeVodka

Black Lake Vodka Palate- Vanilla, fresh with a creamy texture. Not at all harsh, the alcohol nip is there but there is virtually no burn. @thewhiskywire.bsky.social #TheNetherfield #Scotch #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

Most spirits are defined by what is added. Black Lake Vodka is defined by what is taken away. Inspired by the deep stillness of the Siberian steppe. #TheNetherfield #BePartOfTheDramfotainment #BlackLakeVodka

Black Lake Vodka Colour: crystal clear Nose: crisp & clean, hints of vanilla. Very fresh. #TheNetherfield #Scotch #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

So, are we all ready to uncover and discover tonight’s bounty of indie bottled belters, along with something that marries Siberian soul with Scottish spirit. #TheNetherfield #BePartOfTheDramfotainment #Scotch #Whisky
