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 😆
#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
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
Dram 5 Palate - dirty funky peaty everything that you shouldn't like in your mouth and yet somehow works quite well.
#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.
#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......
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
I'm seeing the 'bacon' references quite a bit this evening and not getting them and then remembering I've been vegetarian for nearly half of my life so maybe I don't readily go to bacon as a descriptor anymore 😆
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
Dram 4 I want this to be more than it is, it's still intriguing and offering more each time I sip, peaty sweet salty smoky hints of bitter but not quite marinating together for me to go higher than a 3
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
Dram 4 - so just before I go to drink it, I start to get some of those peaty notes through on the nose. Do any of my tasting commentaries have any legitimacy to them? Probably not - Anyway on the palate this is where it is at funky, touch of peat smoke with fruity spice
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
Dram 4 - Nose Ooft in your face floral is the first impression, lavender, rose, something softer behind it maybe chamomile? Intriguing, one to spend time with.
Has Dram 3 kicked it out the park or been left on the bench, lets get the scores.

Dram 3 - Finish - The nose was promising, the palate less so and the finish is too salty for me with more bitter notes than sweet.
I think this is a 2 for me. Sorry. 🫥 No idea what that emoji is but was a bit different so you know...It's probably offensive with my luck
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
Dram 3 Palate - Wood varnish, salty, a modicum of oil to coat the mouth but a bitterness coming through just taking away from the other flavours and unbalancing it for me.
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
Dram 3.
Nose - This is more in my wheelhouse, softer, rich dried fruits, some wood varnish, nothing too pungent but intriguing and drawing you in. Hints of ginger, cinnamon pencil shavings. Feels safer to dive into than the previous too - I'm sure it won't be 😆
And it's the second dram and it is #Imposter2 I can see where you are going with this.

There is so much to unpack in that comment 😜
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
I know whisky tasting is subjective, but if anyone scores these different to me, they are quite clearly wrong.
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
Dram 2 - Score 1
Not enjoying this as much as Dram 1 so where that had potential for a 3 this is struggling to have potential for a 2 for me.
I know I'm wrong but convinced it has seen a rum cask at some point as well.
#BTC56 #BlindDrams #Imposter2
Dram 2
Palate / Finish - It was also a little watery on the palate, and there were hints of charcoal smoke - don't think this is peated. Finish is waspy thin, mix of astringent spice grass and some sweet aspartame.
