#BlindDrams #TwoDot : This is ok, but I enjoyed the first one more, so this can only be a 2

#BlindDrams #TwoDot p: Salinity and a touch funky, could be in Campbeltown here, very drying on the back palate

#BlindDrams #TwoDot n: Smells drier, touchy of grape skins

#BlindDrams #TwoDot : Again this is decent - scores another solid 2.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot p: STR? Feels alarmingly familiar! Good texture, quite young, drying on the back palate, peppery

#BlindDrams #TwoDot n: Hedgerow, blackberry brambles, earthy.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot : Again the quality is evident but this isn’t really my thing - scores a 2

#BlindDrams #TwoDot p: Decent texture, lots of liquorice. Green.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot n: Tinned fruit syrup, sweet but earthy at the same time, touch vegetal

#BlindDrams #TwoDot : This is a good dram too, warming as the nights draw in - scores another 3.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot p: Super nutty (walnuts and hazelnuts) suggests Oloroso. A fair bit of spice in the finish, and maybe some candied orange peel too.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot n: Seemingly some sherry influence here, with a sharp fruity top-note, Cadbury fruit and nut.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot : Nice, lots to enjoy here - scores a very solid 3

#BlindDrams #TwoDot p: Good texture on this, lovely mouthfeel, quite spirit-forward, quite young and a bit fiesty (in a good way), touch of salinity and some soft smoke into the finish.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot n: Vibrant, fruity, floral and with the slightest waft of smoke. More ABV than dram one?

#BlindDrams #TwoDot : Finding this strangely quite moreish and dangerously drinkable due to the lower ABV. Enjoying it, scores a 3

#BlindDrams #TwoDot p: Getting some youngish Bowmore vibes on this… texture is a little thinner than the first dram, think the ABV might have dropped a bit from dram one. Soft wood spice and sharp citrus.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot n: Floral and fruity with some light polish notes.

#BlindDrams #BTC55 #TwoDot - We then headed over the water to Islay for a rather unusual unpeated Caol Ila… A Diageo Special Release, 12yo, First Fill Ex-Bourbon Barrels, at a whopping 64.0%.

#BlindDrams #BTC55… #TwoDot Time to gather your thoughts on this one, and let me know how you would score it, and if you would buy a bottle?

#BlindDrams #BTC55… #TwoDot Ok, let’s move on, once again - smell it, taste it, let me have your thoughts, I’ll be back in a few minutes to ask for a score

#BlindDrams #TwoDot : Massively minty for me, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but I’m struggling to get past it. Scores a 2.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot p: Wrigle’s Spearmint Chewing Gum, that is all. #PalateBlock

#BlindDrams #TwoDot n: Fresh mint toothpaste, fresh herbs, touch of chocolate honeycomb.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot : Sorry Andrew not a fan of this one. The curse of slot 2 strikes again… scores a 1.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot p: And a really strange taste too. Not sure this one is Scotch. Young.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot n: A really strange nose on this one, doesn’t feel at all familiar and I’m not sure how I feel about it.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot : The difficult second album? - it’s not that bad but I can only give this a 2.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot p: Quite a big ABV hit but oddly a touch thin for me, could this be a wine cask or a smaller finishing cask? Making my tongue tingle. Finding quite a lot of top notes, but lacking a bit in terms of depth of flavour… there’s no bass underpinning this dram.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot n: Some leathery notes here, dry tobacco leaves, rich powdered spices, orange lucozade.
