Not a bad set if I say so myself and two crackers to finish off the Blind Drams for 2025. #BlindDrams

#BTC60 #BlindDrams, scores 3,2,3,4,5

#BTC60 Dram five definitely my kind of dram has to be a score of 5 🎉#BlindDrams

#BTC60 Dram 5: Palate delivers creamy smoke, is there such a thing! Very drying delivering heafty PPM on the taste buds with a side serve of rich fruit and treacle sweetness. Truly a dram worthy of Arthur Brown #BlindDrams

#BTC60 Dram 5: weathered teak in colour what has good beading which very slowly develops in to a myriad of slow thin legs. The Crazy World of Arthur Brown is upon us, Fire! Peat smoke, Spinks Arbroath Smokies, barbecued honey marinated spare ribs #BlindDrams

#BTC60 Dram 4: the only way is up and it’s a well deserved score of 4 #BlindDrams

#BTC60 Dram 4: Palate has chocolate Medjool dates, spiced Christmas nuts, hot apple strudel all of which combines to deliver a lingering warm spiced finish which definitely suggests “ Cinnamon Girl” by Neil Young #BlindDrams

#BTC60 Dram 4: Rich gold in colour, small beads that deliver long thin legs. Nose: sweet cigar smoke in the distance with toffee apple and then a werthers original to follow #BlindDrams

#BTC60 Dram 3 a quick spin of the vinyl decks and where it stops is on a score of 3 #BlindDrams

#BTC60 Dram 3: Palate delivers a pepper spice that lingers but definitely still getting that “Sugar and spice” from the searchers. Mixed fruit with a touch of grated lemon zest brings up a Christmas mince pie finish #BlindDrams

#BTC60 Dram 3: bright copper in colour, very fine beading that slowly developing to long oily legs. Nose: through the alcohol there’s a salinity, muscovado sugar and vanilla #BlindDrams

#BTC60 Dram 2: A dram that has lost its way, a hard fought 2 #BlindDrams

#BTC60 Dram 2: Palate has character but not sure what. White pepper, aniseed and constantly changing sweet & sour note, long lasting with a more balanced mixed spice finish #BlindDrams

#BTC60 Dram 2: Bright gold in colour, beads up then slow large tear drops as legs slowly form. Nose is initially very astringent with an initial vinaigrette note then a hint of damp cardboard, touch of CCR “Bad Moon Rising” #BlindDrams

#BTC60 Dram 1: scores a middle of the road 3 #BlindDrams

#BTC60 Dram 1: Palate a bit of “Sunshine of your life” as definitely a touch of “Cream” on the palate before a pleasant warm spice kicks in. Poached pears, walnut whip and a sherbet dab dab to finish #BlindDrams

#BTC60 Dram 1: Fresh straw in colour with nice beading in glass leading to slow moving well defined legs. Nose initially sharp with grassy notes then some vanilla. #BlindDrams

And breathe #BlindDrams #BTC60 Silent Groovy 60's Disco

Only 30 minutes before an evening of dramming with #BlindDrams #BTC60 Silent Groovy 60's Disc

Holiday week in Cartmel Cumbria so an opportunity for a wee regional tasting with the son in law

Once again privileged to be invited to join the #BlindDrams as a reserve, thanks again @maltmusings.bsky.social. Definitely 5 interesting drams chosen by @aw798.bsky.social .

My scores for tonight’s #BTC58, 3,2,3,3,4 #BlindDrams

Dram 5 #BTC58, most enjoyable dram of the night, a well deserved 4 . #BlindDrams

Dram 5 #BTC58, palate of barbecued pork ribs, fresh oyster with Tabasco sauce, and crispy seaweed all whilst someone nearby is happily puffing away on a cigar . #BlindDrams

Dram 5 #BTC58, Lovely bright gold in colour, good beading and nice although slow forming legs. Nose of Heavy marine oil, wet bilges, damp sail cloth and cold smoked salmon. #BlindDrams

Dram 4 #BTC58, the palate helps the recovery from the shock of nose but it only deserves a 3 #BlindDrams

Dram 4 #BTC58, palate recovers what the nose failed to deliver. Touch of smoke with a rich sweetness that develops to a pleasant warm finish. Clove baked apples and a salty caramel sauce. #BlindDrams

Dram 4 #BTC58, Bright with good beading and slow moving legs. Very spirited on initial acquaintance before a hot pepper spice, onion chutney and picked egg notes develop, nose isn’t selling this one😋 #BlindDrams

Dram 3 #BTC58, A dram that promises so much but can’t get itself out of a flavour rut, a average 3 #BlindDrams

Dram 3 #BTC58, thick and chewy like a Liquorice wand, flavoursome and sweet but not necessarily in harmony with an underlying Tellicherry pepper note. Very dry in the mouth and on the finish #BlindDrams

Dram 3 #BTC58, Burnished copper in colour. Beading eventually appear then a Sun dial is needed to measure how long the legs take to develop they are soooo slow. Appears initially woody before raisin & rum chocolate and spices start to appear #BlindDrams

Dram 2 #BTC58, A complex dram but not a style I would enjoy again, Score of 2 #BlindDrams

Dram 2 #BTC58, palate is Sherry forward, nutty spice, toffee, orange and coffe, hold on its Revels in a glencairn #BlindDrams

Dram 2 #BTC58, deep gold in colour with great beading that slowly develops into slow moving teardrop shaped legs. Rich on the nose with dried fruit, chilli chocolate and coffee beans #BlindDrams

Dram 1 #BTC58, An interesting dram to kick of the proceedings, score is a middle for diddle 3 #BlindDrams

Dram 1 #BTC58, Palate is initially chewy with a sweet mouth coating . Caramel apple betty pie with a background note of fennel that lingers and as it leaves the room a smidgen of nutmeg spice develops before a bitter note appears #BlindDrams

Dram 1 #BTC58, Light gold with a Nose that is sweet, refreshing and welcoming. A Custard cream in a glass, vanilla ice cream with ripe pear coated in runny honey 😋 #BlindDrams

Drams all poured and ready for #BlindDrams #BTC58

Another fantastic tasting with the Blind Tasting Consortium #BlindDrams #BTC56 and great drams selected by @socialdrammer.bsky.social with the theme, the imposter🥃👍

#BlindDrams #BTC56 Final scores 3,3,4,4,4

#BlindDrams #BTC56 Dram 5, a cracking end to a tasking, a dram that delivers snake and sweetness, a well deserved 4

#BlindDrams #BTC56 Dram 5. Palate delivers a sweet but drying smoke that long lingers on the palate. Barbecued fruit and vegetables deliver the sweetness without any meaty notes, lovely

#BlindDrams #BTC56 Dram 5 is a very light gold in colour with maybe a slight pink blush. Appears quite viscous in the glass with legs slowly becoming apparent. Some acetone notes lead into green and fresh fruit with a hint of smoke

#BlindDrams #BTC56 Dram 4 a very well deserved 4, only the bitter finish prevents a toe licking higher score.

#BlindDrams #BTC56 Dram 4 palate delivers in abundance. Fresh and sweet before a wave of subtle smoke covers the palate. The sweetness continues right until the last vestige of the dram and then a slight drying bitter note is left behind.

#BlindDrams #BTC56 Dram 4 polished gold in colour, lots of thin legs from the beading. Sweet smoke emerges amongst a background of fruit and some spice and a seaside salty note, nice

#BlindDrams #BTC56 Dram 3 palate is a lovely drop and deserves an overall 4

#BlindDrams #BTC56 Dram 3 palate is warm and welcoming. Lovely mouth coating with the warm spice containing, sweetness and a lovely fruity note left behind on the finish

#BlindDrams #BTC56 dram 3; dull gold in colour, beading delivers a magnitude of thin slow moving legs. Nose is rich with Demerara sugar, rich fruit, and a warm Caribbean spice

#BlindDrams #BTC56 Dram 2 score is a challenge to decide but will go for a 3 as @maltmusings.bsky.social won’t allow a 2.5
