#BlindDrams #BTC62 Dram 2, quite woody, spicy and sharp. Softens out with a bit of sweetness, though the lingering finish is bitter. Dram 1 was better, but this doesn't quite meet a zero so - Score 1

#BlindDrams #BTC62 Dram 1 - Nose fruity and zesty, rich with promise. Palate spicy and vinegary, Finish fizzy like something that has gone off ๐Ÿ˜† Score 1

D1

Nose - champagne, evervescence, lemon drops.

To taste, honey, lemon, lockets. Little pineapple in there too. Absolutely a whisky to make a hot toddy with.

It feels young, and fairly simplistic, not a bad dram just nothing all that exciting

#BlindDrams 4 Taste: Interesting herbalness again. Sichuan pepper, verbena and plump leafy sherry. Chocolate follows, alongside gingerbread, ground anise and residual earthiness. Working.
