Many thanks to @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social for the drams - some really interesting bottles tonight! #BlindDrams

5 Score - 4 - The winner. Warming, medium-length, pure satisfaction - a bold, peaty beauty built for stormy Hebridean nights. #BlindDrams

5P - Muddy cow field peat to smoky bonfire to salt & vinegar crisps. Dirty, briny, brilliant. #BlindDrams

5N - Smoky balsamic vinegar and pickled onions. Sounds odd but somehow totally works. #BlindDrams

4 Score - 3 - The divisive one so far (Jamie said 1, Callum said 4). A lovable troublemaker. #BlindDrams

4F - Long, sweet, and gently burning. Sticks around like the last song at the ceilidh. #BlindDrams

4P - Total plot twist - peach cobbler and burnt marmalade toast. Fiery, salty, a bit chaotic, but fun. #BlindDrams

4N - Big hit of peat - finally! Lemon salt, wafer biscuits, a lovely coastal nose. Feels high ABV but balanced. #BlindDrams

3 Score - 2 - Much better than Dram 2, but a bit too much sweet shop for me. #BlindDrams

3P - More cola bottles, white pepper, and sweetness that just won’t quit. Water tames the spice but not the sugar rush. #BlindDrams

3N - Oily and sweet - pure pick’n’mix energy 🍬. Cola bottles, sherbet, and a faint whiff of engine oil. Water makes it go full syrup. #BlindDrams

2 Score - 1 - Not a fan unfortunately - would shine in a sauce, not in a Glencairn. #BlindDrams

2F - Short, spicy, gone before you blink. #BlindDrams

2P - Minerally like London tap water, faint pepper trying its best. Tastes like it’s missing the oomph. #BlindDrams

2N - Musky whisky warehouse, raisins drowning in treacle. Add water and it leans dessert-heavy - treacle tart left out in the rain. #BlindDrams

1 Score - 3 - Solid and drinkable, but not writing home about it. Nearly a 4 if it hung around longer. #BlindDrams

1F - Short and slightly bitter #BlindDrams

1P - Starts gentle, then ramps up fast 🌊. Old leather jacket, sweet smoke, and a hint of bandages for that medicinal edge. #BlindDrams

1N - Pale gold, almost like London tap water. Earthy peat right away - Ledaig-style funk - then salted toffee apple 🍏. A splash of water smooths it into something sweeter and friendlier. #BlindDrams

5 Score 5/5!!! #BlindDrams

5F Medium, peat smoke, tasty, fiery, refreshing, mint #BlindDrams

5P Fresh peat, burnt ends, unctuous, frazzles, chimnea smoke, watery, earthy, germolene, best of the night #BlindDrams

5N Bread dough, brioche, WW2 gas masks, road tar, maple syrup, feels like visiting Scotland's Secret Bunker and the Museum of Islay Life in the same day #BlindDrams

4 Score 1/5 #BlindDrams

4F Too long (even tho it’s short lol), got nothing, passes like a ship in the night #BlindDrams

4P Quite gross lol, tastes wrong? Like out of date, sour beer, mango, tap water, bin bags x2 #BlindDrams

4N Musty, rotten veg, floral scented bin bags, rubbery #BlindDrams
