What a great evening for our wee company at the #worldwhiskiesawards announcement in Edinburgh!

Dram 2 of whisky advent calendar is the @bravenewspirits.bsky.social Ardphroaig. Nose is honey on toast, cinder toffee and smoky peat. Mouth is sweet medicinal peat, toffee apple and a warm chilli hit. Great dram and tempted to snag a bottle.

A lovely @bravenewspirits.bsky.social Auchentoshan Marsala finish from the picnic basket 👌🏻

Brave New Spirits RumRogues series: Swashbucklers at the Gold Coast – Australian Single Barrel Rum 🍹 #BraveNewSpirits Palate: banana, banoffee caramel, pineapple, coconut that really is a tropical delight.

I love it! Add water and there's farmyard funk with hay bales wrapped in black plastic in the sun, barbecued plantain in ginger syrup, clove balls, apple turnovers, radishes, Charbonnel et Walker milk chocolate truffles and Maple Brazil Nuts. Fab! #BraveNewSpirits

#bravenewspirits #bepartofthedramfotainment

Massive thanks to everyone for taking part with @thewhiskywire.bsky.social tonight. Fantastic to see & hear your thoughts on our drams!

It’s a real treat to be able to feature a rum and a rum-arkable one at that in tonight’s tasting. Aged rums like this share so many similar notes, nuances and complexities to that of aged single malts. #BraveNewSpirits #LoveRum #RumLove

Swashbucklers at the Gold Coast. Nose. Very potent, vegetational, nose. I’m trying not to think Brussel sprouts, but it won’t go away! @bravenewspirits.bsky.social @thewhiskywire.bsky.social #BraveNewSpirits #Scotch #Whisky

Rum: Nose: Nail varnish remover is the dominant note, overripe banana and pineapple rings #BraveNewSpirits

Water reveals farmyard funk, freshly printed magazines, rubber galore, overripe apple and plantain with ginger syrup, silage, seaweed, Korean chicken wings, peanut butter on freshly baked baps, and fig rolls #BraveNewSpirits

Dram 4 - Palate - nice, thick texture. Hints of maple syrup, Nutella (although I haven't had that in yonks!) and overripe strawberries. Nose suggested this would be a 'green' whisky but it's actually more of a red one #BraveNewSpirits

8 Year Old Inchgower Palate: Sweet, sugary, honey nut cornflakes. Apple & grape skin, dried hay. Orange oil. #BraveNewSpirits #TheWhiskyWire #TweetTastings @TheWhiskyWire.bsky.social @bravenewspirits.bsky.social

8 Year Old Inchgower Nose: Fragrant & sweet. Sugar icing, floral, touch petrichor, camphor, cardamom, waxy, kumquat skin. #BraveNewSpirits #TheWhiskyWire #TweetTastings @TheWhiskyWire.bsky.social @bravenewspirits.bsky.social

Brave New Spirits Cask Masters Inchgower 8 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky ABV: 57.1% Casks: First-fill Chateau Talbot barrique Bottles: 330 RRP: £70.00 #BraveNewSpirits

I really want some custard doughnuts now! #BraveNewSpirits

Glen Elgin 12 Year Old Palate: Sweet & syrupy. Berry jam. Apple & blackberry pie. Orange & almond oil. #BraveNewSpirits #TheWhiskyWire #TweetTastings @TheWhiskyWire.bsky.social @bravenewspirits.bsky.social

Dram 3: Glen Elgin P: Take one of each type of revel plus extra coffee one, put them all in your mouth at the same time then add a cherry lip chew #bravenewspirits

Water reveals more fruit but in glacé form – red berries, apricot, pineapple and orange – plus gooseberry fool, maple syrup and vanilla ice cream on hot waffles, hot buttered toasted teacakes with honey, strawberry and raspberry jams #BraveNewSpirits

Mango Chutney is a great shout! #BraveNewSpirits

Glen Elgin 12yr. Nose. Surprisingly, there is not a lot there on the nose after the initial pour. There is an alcohol note, but little else. @bravenewspirits.bsky.social @thewhiskywire.bsky.social #BraveNewSpirits #Scotch #Whisky

Dram 3: Glen Elgin N: damp dunnage warehouse, balsamic raspberries & shortbread crumbs #bravenewspirits

Right #DramFam It’s time to move onto our third drop of dramspankage: Brave New Spirits Cask Masters Glen Elgin 12 Year Old. What nasal niceties can you pick up? #BraveNewSpirits
