One woman’s view of the wonders of the “water of life”. A dram fan and a foodie who also enjoys a good gin, cognac, wine or cocktail or two!
Fab evening as usual. Great selection of drams. Thank you.

Last night’s drams from Fib. Mackmyra 8 year old green tea compared with the same cask with an Amontillado finish. Part of the Permutation Series. Both are excellent drams.

Amazing Milk & Honey tasting last night with Shilton Almeida exploring the Dead Sea casks. My fave was the Negev Desert but all were delicious.

Ending the bank holiday weekend with Octomore 10 yo. 167 PPM and 56.8% ABV. Despite the high PPM it’s a great balance of smoke and sweet.

A timely evening to bottle kill a fave - the Glen Scotia cask strength. Cheers to you all!
