Et voilà! The Hazel 🌰 Hurst blend 😍 😂 Hazel from Woven brought along a unique blend created by Woven's co-founder & #whisky maker, Pete Allison, especially for the first tasting of the newly revamped Edinburgh Whisky Group. We enjoyed an eclectic mix of 8 drams - all donated by the group's members

Having missed @thewhiskywire.bsky.social's #TheNetherfield tasting because of a leaking washing machine (not even mine), I'm playing catch up. 🥃 House Release N: lemon curd on toast; Rich Tea biscuits; tinned pineapple chunks P: lemon meringue pie; porridge with honey; tinned fruit cocktail syrup

Bye bye Benrinnes 😢 🥃 Cadenhead's Benrinnes 18 yrs 🥃 52.2% 🥃 dist. 2006 / bottled 2025 / reracked into a manzanilla hogshead in 2020 🥃 £80 This was a lovely dram. Think salted caramel Jamaica Ginger Cake 😋 Another cracking #whisky from Cadenhead's.

🥃 Weekend #DramRollCall 🥃 Starting the weekend with some #whisky from @holyrooddistillery.bsky.social paired with truffles from Coco 😋. Thanks to HHD for the gift. What's in your glass this evening? Any pairings I should try?

This article was sent out to my #Whisky Through Time email subscribers back in December last year. The sentiments still hold true today 🥃 kaskwhisky.substack.com

Looking forward to this evening's #TheNetherfield tasting 🥃 This is a new indie bottler for me so am very much intrigued 🧐

Roll on 7pm tomorrow! #TheNetherfield #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

I am hosting an #English whisky tasting, exploring six different distilleries and cask types along the way in #Clevedon on Tuesday 21st April 2026. It’s £25 and I guarantee* fun. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/english-wh...

There's a new (to me) #whisky book at Kask Whisky HQ. Looking forward to starting this tonight.

Missed yesterday's 🥃 Weekend #DramRollCall 🥃 as I was at Glenkinchie Distillery for the launch of A Richness Of Swallows. As I was driving, I took the #whisky home. So, tonight is a Glenkinchie-athon: the 3 drams from yesterday plus a couple of others. What are you dramming this evening, folks?

Time for some Dram Spotting 🥃 Six of the best from the 1949 film #Whisky Galore! 👇️ kaskwhisky.substack.com/p/dram-spott...

Whilst researching something else, I came across a name too fabulous not to look into further: Septimus Parsonage. Find out more about Septimus & his Scotch #whisky connections by signing up to my Whisky Through Time email. The info will be in your inbox this Thursday 👇️ www.kaskwhisky.com#subscribe

Came across this auction lot. Many of the (presumed #whisky) bottles are unlabelled except one. Anyone know where this #distillery is? 😂 😂 😂

Sounds yummy. I'm polishing off the rest of this tasty Port Dundas 😋🥃(old pic, just one final dram left in the bottle 😉)

🥃 Weekend #DramRollCall 🥃 Just a small dram this evening as I'm working tomorrow. 👉️ 20 y/o Royal Brackla 👉️ 54.1% 👉️ finished in a palo cortado cask 👉️ 330 bottles as part of the Exceptional Cask Series 👉️ oodles of dried apricots & marzipan on the palate What's in your glass this evening? #whisky

Another #malternative from the Drinkmonger Spirits Fair on Saturday. This Bas-Armagnac is made up of 3 vintages (from 1963, 1972 & 1977) & was bottled at 43.4%. It was delicious but at £265 a bottle, a bit out of my price range. Still, probably cheaper than a 45 y/o #whisky though 😂

These days, folk rarely talk about J&G Stewart, once one of the oldest Scotch #whisky houses in #Edinburgh. Its 'failure' came just before the much bigger crash that rocked the whisky trade at the end of 1898 🤔 You can read more over on my Whisky Through Time Substack 👇 kaskwhisky.substack.com

Tasted this J Gow Pieces Of Eight yesterday. It's an 8 y/o Orkney #rum; matured in ex bourbon & Madeira casks; bottled at 43%; 70 quid. Oh, and it's absolutely delicious 😋😂

Attended a spirits fair today. Cognac, armagnac, rum etc. The number of (non-industry) men who spoke to me as if I knew hee-haw about anything was off the scale. This isn't exclusive to #whisky. And I know this isn't "all men". But for those concerned, jeezo, sort it out. Anyway, rant over 😂

🥃 Weekend #DramRollCall 🥃 This Glen Spey 12 yrs "The Manager's Dram" was bottled in 2008 & it's delicious 😋 Right folks, let me know what's in your glass this evening👇 #whisky #whiskey

On yesterday's Leith #Whisky Trail we accidentally* ended up in a bonded warehouse. Can you guess which one? *not really

The starting point for my #Whisky Through Time posts is a family tree. Last week's email featured the Bonthrone brewing & distilling family in Fife. After building this, it was then a case of putting some flesh on the bones (so to speak). Such a fascinating family. Really enjoyed this research

Any Newcastle based #whisky folk here on Bluesky? On 1st May, not only will I be joining Lee "Connas" Connor to chat about my book but he's also only gone & come up with a cracking line-up of drams for the occasion 👇 www.distilledconsultant.com/event-detail... Hopefully see some of you there! 🥃

🥃 Weekend #DramRollCall 🥃 Starting the evening with this #bottlekill: Woodrow's Braeval 10 years What are you pouring? Let me know below 👇 #whisky #whiskey

The 12 y/o and 18 y/o are great value for money. The 30 y/o, although still very good, lacked a certain something for me. The 25 y/o is a belter of a dram #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 4: on the palate, strawberry jam, Blackjack sweeties and fresh ginger #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 4 - actually finding this lighter and fresher than the 25 y/o #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 4 - 30 y/o: on the nose, quite shy at first. Then toffee apples; hint of aniseed balls; wet stones (?) #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 3, there's a slight hint of toasted pine nuts in the background #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 3 - 25 y/o: on the palate, Jammie Dodgers, rum chocolate truffles, tiramisu/ Lovely, velvety texture #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 3, also hints of rum and raisin chocolate #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 3 - 25y/o: on the nose, Scotch pancakes with maple syrup #TheCairnDistillery

The 18 y/o is quite drying on the finish with a hint of orange marmalade #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 2 - on the palate, something like banoffie pie with hints of Ferrero Rocher #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 2 - 18 y/o: on the nose, hints of orange marzipan & fresh green apples #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 1: there's a chilli note on the finish making it a wee bit burny (technical term) #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 1 has notes of apple and blackberry crumble with vanilla ice cream. Actually, I reckon this would pair well with that 😊 #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 1, on the palate, some lovely blackcurrant notes appear. Like undiluted Ribena #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 1 has an old school feel about it #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 1 - 12 y/o: on the nose, toasted cinnamon whirls & bruised red apple skins #TheCairnDistillery

Just went to pour the first dram without removing the wee plastic stopper 🤦‍♀️ #TheCairnDistillery

Not long now! #TheCairnDistillery

🥃 Scotch #Whisky Ghost Signs 🥃 Here are a few of my faves 👇️

Thanks to @thewhiskywire.bsky.social and @londondistilleryco.bsky.social for the chance to taste these drams. Great stuff #TLDCWhisky

Yesteryear was my fave of the three. Great cask influence without overwhelming the whisky. Well balanced #TLDCWhisky

The cask influence on Yesteryear seems greater than on the other 2 drams. On the palate, this is big & juicy. Maraschino cherries; Battenberg cake; pumpernickel #TLDCWhisky

Also, hints of buttered pumpernickel on the nose (Yesteryear) #TLDCWhisky

Yesteryear - On the nose: cherry bakewells and aniseed balls #TLDCWhisky

On the palate, I'm getting that retsina note again. It's as apparent in Embarque as in 10 Times. Is this maybe the distillate character? #TLDCWhisky
