Dram two was blind. Really did not get that this was a Bowmore!!

First pour, sharing with @johnwt.bsky.social Letting it breathe before diving it, but the nose is giving good signs 👍 #GlenScotia #BackForTheWhisky

Delivery 😍 #GlenScotia

Glen Scotia launches its latest Campbeltown Festival release: thewhiskywire.com/2026/03/05/g... #Scotch #Whisky #News

I’ve bought my first Whisky of the year 😳 Of course it’s the Glen Scotia 2026 Festival release. Looks like it’s going to be £65 direct from Scotia’s website but MoM have it available cheaper.

I was hoping I would get a response from Living Souls about their 48 Year Old Carsebridge. But it’s radio silence. I was hoping to land a vintage 76 whisky for my 50th this June. Perhaps this could be from 76, retailers can’t confirm, & the brand themselves ignore direct enquiries & social posts.

Not a lot left of this Fresh Sherry 13 Year Old Springbank! I’ll have to go back to Campbeltown! The colour man! No caramel here!!!

I’m a #Heathen Beer followed by a #Talisker Dark Storm dram swap from @johnwt.bsky.social #BackForTheWhisky

I rarely drink my morning coffee with syrup, but had to try this when I came across it. It isn’t at all bad. Mince Pie flavour coffee syrup, who knew? 🤷🏻‍♂️

While we wait, let’s have a reminder of last years. #GlenScotia #CampbeltownMaltsFestival #BackForTheWhisky

Rant: If someone asks a question on a whisky brands social media post & they don’t reply, that is one thing. But when they don’t respond to a direct email, then they do not deserve my custom. I understand some socials aren’t monitored, but email? As a relatively new biz in the current climate! Mad!

Ardbeg 10 Cask Strength… thoughts?

Does anyone know what vintage this Living Souls 48 Year Old is? I suspect 1977. kinnairdheadwhiskies.com/product/livi...

Since I got on the #Scotia train I may as well stay on it.

#SaturdayNightDram is (upto now) my favourite #GlenScotia & pulled from my sample archive. 2018 Campbeltown Malt Festival 10 Year Old Ruby Port Cask Finish. BUT I am very much looking forward to this years release. #BackForTheWhisky

Beer…

I believe I’ve had this bottle 5 years & it’s still going, mainly because I’m not paying £130 for a new one. £70 was still too much when I bought it. BUT we are returning to the Inverness area again later in the year. So who knows 😉🤷🏻‍♂️ Slainte 🥃

First #Whisky this evening @masterofmalt.com 17 Year Old #HighlandPark Time has been favourable to this bottle. Slainte 🥃

£110 for a 10 year old JD? Who are the ones falling for this? Making it out to be something extraordinary when it’s isn’t. £40 tops.

Tonight, we've shared, sipped and savoured a quaffable quartet of wondrous Wemyss whisky wares. What are your overall thoughts and highlights? #WemyssMalts #Scotch #Whisky

Pest Chimney was my standout, booth for flavour experience and value. An excellent lineup. Thanks to Steve @TheWhiskyWire.bsky.social and #WemyssMalts @Tastings.bsky.social

Finish It’s spicy with the aforementioned chilli & pepper, there is lingering lemon creams with a bitter dark chocolate. I didn’t find adding water made much change. #WemyssMalts @Tastings.bsky.social @TheWhiskyWire.bsky.social

A second sip delivers fruit but nothing specific dominates as the palate is drawn towards pepper and chilli which bring a lovely spicy heat The smoke builds giving thoughts of a beach BBQ with drips of lemon juice hitting hot coals #WemyssMalts @Tastings.bsky.social @TheWhiskyWire.bsky.social

Palate The sweet arrives first then a decent blast of smoke. Once past the smoke it’s maritime sensation of salt, smoked fish & seaweed bringing in the savoury element alcohol just about appears with a little nip reminding you it’s 46% #WemyssMalts @Tastings.bsky.social @TheWhiskyWire.bsky.social

Wemyss Malts Peat Chimney Initial Palate thoughts: Sweet & Smokey. #WemyssMalts @Tastings.bsky.social @TheWhiskyWire.bsky.social

Peat Chimney, Peat Chiminey, chim chim cher-ee! #WemyssMalts #Scotch #Whisky

Peat Chimney is a Scotch whisky that combines a small batch selection of peaty Islay, Highland, Island and lighter Speyside single malts to create a hand-crafted whisky named for its mellow balance of sweet peat smoke, maritime character and subtle citrus flavours. #WemyssMalts #Scotch #Whisky

Wemyss Malts intrepid Mariner 20 Year Old Finish: Black tea, caramel, pepper & oak. Adding water gave the suggestion of ginger / ginger biscuits on the nose. While the palate brought out more caramel & malt. #WemyssMalts @Tastings.bsky.social @TheWhiskyWire.bsky.social

Wemyss Malts intrepid Mariner Initial Palate thought Dry hay honey white fruit Medium sweet into a dry hay note The sweetness continues as it develops into peach, tinned apricot in syrup green grapes Caramel coated sultana black pepper #WemyssMalts @Tastings.bsky.social @TheWhiskyWire.bsky.social

It’s time to dive in and taste! What palatable pleasures does the Wemyss Malts – The Intrepid Mariner deliver? #WemyssMalts #Scotch #Whisky

…While the distillery now introduces smoky expressions, it is the distinctly oily and largely unpeated whisky that has garnered acclaim among whisky enthusiasts worldwide. #WemyssMalts #Scotch #Whisky

Bunnahabhain has earned a reputation as the more understated among Islay Malts, characterized by a unique oiliness and a hint of sea air, distinguishing it from the predominantly peaty whiskies produced on the island… #WemyssMalts #Scotch #Whisky

Wemyss Malts intrepid Mariner 20 Year Old Initial Nose Impact Thoughts Vegetal & Sea Spray Nose: Honey & caramel citrus. Vegetal; dry hay, cut grass, raw sprouts & shredded cabbage. Sea salt, seaweed & sea spray. #WemyssMalts @Tastings.bsky.social @TheWhiskyWire.bsky.social

Wemyss Malts Velvet Fig 12 Year Old Water releases cherry & orange on the nose, while on the palate is not as spicy a touch more bitter & dry with nuttiness walnut & hazelnut Finish Rich & bitter dark chocolate, cocoa, mixed nuts & oak #WemyssMalts @Tastings.bsky.social @TheWhiskyWire.bsky.social

Wemyss Malts Velvet Fig 12 Year Old Palate initial thought Rich Sherry Christmas cake Palate rich dark fruit soaked in sherry. Christmas pudding with plenty of fruit; dates, sultana, cherry & orange peel/oil topped with a caramel sauce #WemyssMalts @Tastings.bsky.social @TheWhiskyWire.bsky.social

It’s time to tantalise those taste buds. What does the Wemyss Malts – Velvet Fig 12 Year Old deliver on the palate #WemyssMalts #Scotch #Whisky

I remember us previewing the original Velvet Fig in our of our earliest Tweet Tastings back in the early 2010's. A utter treat - as is this - it was too! #WemyssMalts

Huzzah! We're trending. Ill drink to that! #WemyssMalts

This third iteration of the legendary Velvet Fig, which was matured exclusively in six first-fill Sherry casks filled in 2012, underwent a five-month marrying period in Sherry-seasoned oak, which is said to have imparted a richer, more velvety flavour profile. #WemyssMalts #Scotch #Whisky
