…finished in a French Rivesaltes (sweet, fortified dessert wine) cask. A superb example of this distillery’s juice, with an added edge of fruit and spiced based complexity. #Dramlaxing #Scotch #Whisky
New drams dropping from the mighty @bravenewspirits.bsky.social including this drop of deliciousness from their Cask Masters range; Invergordon 28 Year Old Single Grain Scotch Whisky…

Kicking off the weekend’s dramspankery with this bountiful belter of a blend. What are you sipping and savouring tonight? #CuttySark #Scotch #Whisky #LetsHearItForTheBlends #Dramlaxing
Well, that’s tonight’s dramspankery sorted. It’s always a genuine thrill to pour and explore something new from Glen Scotia, and their Campbeltown Malts Festival editions never disappoint…
#GlenScotia #Scotch #Whisky #Dramlaxing
Very much looking forward to pouring and exploring the latest Xperience Collection release from the Speyside-based Glen Moray distillery...
#GlenMoray #Scotch #Whisky #Dramlaxing
…Blue Hanger 14th Edition (45.6% ABV) is a blended Scotch whisky composed of just seven casks: six ex-Bourbon hogsheads and one ex-Sherry butt, the youngest of which is 26 years old.
Such a big fan of its previous incarnations. I’m going in! #LetsHearItForTheBlends #Dramlaxing #Scotch #Whisky
…I remember being blown away by this at Whisky Live London (around 2006) and had to grab a couple of bottles as soon as it hit UK shores. #LiquidAmericana #Dramlaxing #Whisky #Whiskey
Don’t mind if I do. Lochlea 7 Year Old — the Ayrshire-based distillery’s oldest single malt whisky expression to date. This limited-edition release is comprised of just seven first-fill Bourbon casks. I’m going in! #Dramlaxing #Scotch #Whisky
Kicking off tonight’s drinkery pokery with this epic find from the back of the whisky cupboard at the weekend: Bowmore Tempest Batch 5. A joyous drop, if memory serves. Time to get reacquainted! #Dramlaxing #Scotch #Whisky
A bit of a tradition over the past couple of years: popping open a bottle of Michter’s 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey the week before Crimbo. Toffee, vanilla, toasted nuts, orange zest and oodles of spice. Some seriously good, good, good, good festive rye-brations! #Dramlaxing
…Delivering notes of chocolate, nuts, dried fruit, baking spices, vanilla and a teasing hint of smoke, it’s perfect for easing into the festive spirit - quite literally - and putting up the tree.
#Dramlaxing #Scotch #Whisky
…Smoke Without Fire, Dark Briar, Oak & Orchard and Our Barley. All of which have been bottled at 46% ABV and produced entirely - grain to bottle - on Lochlea’s family-run single estate.
#Dramlaxing #Scotch #Whisky
It’s been awhile since I’ve poured and explored anything from the Ayrshire based Lochlea distillery, so I’m getting reacquainted with this glorious gaggle of single malts…
#Dramlaxing #Scotch #Whisky
…It cranks everything you’ve come to love from this distillery so far up to 11! A gutsy, gloriously balanced bounty of peat, chocolate-coated coffee beans, ripe fruits, vanilla fudge, sea spray and sweet oak. Pure class in a glass!
#Ardnahoe #Scotch #Whisky #Dramlaxing
I have to say, I’ve absolutely loved every release so far from the Islay-based Ardnahoe Distillery, but this latest 5 Year Old Cask Strength expression (60.9% ABV) is on another level…
#Ardnahoe #Scotch #Whisky #Dramlaxing
…A well-rounded and robust whisky, though the jury’s still out on the updated packaging. I was quite fond of the old bottle and branding. #Dramlaxing #Scotch #Whisky
Very much enjoying the latest release from the much underrated (imho) Auchentoshan Distillery; their new 12 Year Old Double Cask (40% ABV). Matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks, it replaces their previous 12 Year Old expression… #Dramlaxing #Scotch #Whisky
…sherry-steeped dried fruits, clementines, baking spices, walnuts and a good handful of Quality Street chocolates. Full-on festive and decadently delicious! #Dramlaxing #Tamdhu #Scotch #Whisky
It’s Tulli time! #Dramlaxing #Tullibardine #Scotch #Whisky
…The result is a fruity, spiced and nutty tasting treat that edges towards greatness – and could have been truly exceptional had it been bottled at over 40% ABV. #Dramlaxing #Irish #Whiskey
A couple of sipping stunners for a Sunday from Annandale Distillery. Man O’Words 10 Year Old and their peated Man O’Sword 10 Year Old. Both matured in ex-Bourbon casks and bottled at cask strength. Full thoughts on these coming soon! #Scotch #Whisky #Dramlaxing
…Bottled at a whopping 60.2% and with enticing aromas of fruit, nuts, chocolate and peat smoke, I can’t wait for my first sip. I’m going in! #Torabhaig #Scotch #Whisky #Dramlaxing
Very much looking forward to finally pouring and exploring this recently released drop of liquid Americana. Star Hill Farm (57.4% ABV), the first wheat whisky and non-bourbon expression from Maker’s Mark. I’m going in! #LiquidAmericana #Dramlaxing
Time for a quick flavour journey to Thailand with three new single malts from the Prakaan Distillery. I’ve been eager to try these since receiving them a few weeks ago. Let’s dive in! #Thailand #Whisky #Dramlaxing
Time to enjoy the Sound of Sleat whilst simultaneously enjoying the sights and sounds of a glorious summers evening. #Torabhaig #Scotch #Whisky #Dramlaxing
Right, time for a dram. What are you pouring and exploring tonight? #Dramlaxing #Whisky #Whiskey
…This latest release has been launched ahead of their annual day of celebration on May 31st (Ardbeg Day) as part of the Islay Festival of Music and Malt (Fèis Ìle).
I’m going in!
#Ardbeg #Scotch #Whisky #Dramlaxing
…One of their experiments involved reducing the amount of water used in the packed mash tun. This unconventional “high-gravity” mash magnified the intensity of flavour-active compounds known as acetate esters, leading to a fruitier, more tropical spirit…
#Ardbeg #Scotch #Whisky #Dramlaxing
…This latest release is the result of the Ardbeg’s whisky creation team’s experimentation with the mashing process, in which malted barley is converted into fermentable sugars…
#Ardbeg #Scotch #Whisky #Dramlaxing
Right, time for a much needed dram and a great excuse to pop open the latest release from Ardbeg.
Ardbeg Smokiverse (48.3% ABV) the distillery’s first whisky produced from a high-gravity mash, is a non-age-stated peated single malt matured in Bourbon casks…
