Horse manure, peat. A garnish seaside

A touch of effluent outflow in heather burning season

Taste
That’s disappointing. Flat, lifeless,tepid and spicy. Christmas spices without the cake
Scores 1 into the blinddrams infinity decanter it goes

Nose
Sweet high notes. Like a white wine compared to red. More salinity. Is the theme I dependantly bottle whiskies of some sort. With no distillery names allowed?

Dot 3
Taste
Spicy! ABV and pepper. Long and sweet toffee finish. Little peat on the palate. Did I imagine this? Still some puttyness a coastal or island whisky?
A different type of 3 to dot 1 but nice

Another early peat arrival? I’m a this now a thing. Smells delicious. Sherry sweet, Persia. Kebab shop smoke. Some salinity. As I ponder that I get some kilkerran pettiness. A longrow perhaps?

Soft round mouthfeel. Low abv. Very little spice. Almost a single grain lack of complexity. Not unpleasant. Easy drinking and nicely sweet

Dot 1
Taste
Initial surge of sweetness with nice mouth feel. Long and developing spice. Rich bourbony taste. A nice summer drop. Stick an ice cube in and we are away. 50%
3 would buy for the right price

Cheap smelling,like a pub on a Saturday morning. Alcohol forward, tequila with an orange twist.

Another fantastic tasting with the Blind Tasting Consortium #BlindDrams #BTC56 and great drams selected by @socialdrammer.bsky.social with the theme, the imposter🥃👍
Thanks to @socialdrammer.bsky.social Duncan for tonight's selection, can't wait to find out what they were and which one (or two) was (were) the Imposter!
#BlindDrams #BTC56
Many thanks Duncan, that was a really interesting set of drams. Haven't got a clue what they could be!
#BlindDrams #BTC56
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
I have a cracking idea for the next time @maltmusings.bsky.social lets me loose on picking the drams - it'll be the first time the theme actually means something but also probably be the last time I'm allowed to do it 😆
#BlindDrams #BTC56 Final scores 3,3,4,4,4
Dram 5 score - 3
Strong three here, loving the lemon verbena flavours with added peat smoke.
#BlindDrams #BTC56
#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
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
Dram 5 - Finish - A little bit watery on the finish but otherwise follows through with the peat and citrus. Makes it less of a doubt that a 4 is as high as this one goes, despite previous comments
5R: water adds funk to the nose, with plasticine, mothballs and rotting grass. Palate is sweeter with more honey and a cinnamon latte, but still has a very drying lolly stick finish
#BlindDrams #BTC56
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
Dram 5 Palate - dirty funky peaty everything that you shouldn't like in your mouth and yet somehow works quite well.
Dram 5 palate - lemon bomb! Sherbet lemon all the way, smokiness backs off a little. Drop of water dials back the heat.
#BlindDrams #BTC56
5P: thick, sweet and drying; honey lemsip, lolly sticks, burnt pork and apple sausages, cinnamon balls
#BlindDrams #BTC56
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
Dram 5 - First sip, first impression this is probably going to end up a 4. Why? Because I'm enjoying it and it can't go higher because of @maltmusings.bsky.social foot fetish.
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
I feel like I need to not like this just because of this comment (cause I'm just like that) but cos I also like peat, I'm probably going to love it......
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2 Cream soda good shout - must be about 40 years since I had cream soda, but I'm sure that is in there 😆🤪
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
Dram 5 Nose - Peat, citrus, lemon, vegetal hints. Just ooft.
Dram 5 nose - slight medicinal smoke here? Light & tropical, I'm thinking lemon curd.
#BlindDrams #BTC56
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
I assume we are on Dram 5 now
Nose - ooo peaty peat - Caol Ila peat? - Or just peaty peat. At which point I'm thinking it probably isn't peated......
#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
