Having another @bimberdistillery.bsky.social dram tonight. This time it's the Halloween release- The Witch. Peated and 57.3%. this has strawberry and smoke on the nose, and on the palate it is sweet with a woody spiciness, red licorice, and soft autamn bonfire smoke πŸ”₯🍁 #WeAreBimber

Nice little surprise through the door today from @bimberdistillery.bsky.social. Starting with the Christmas Santa edition. At 57.3% is packing quite a punch, with traditional PX flavour- plenty of raisins and icing sugar on the nose. More of the same on the palate with chocolate&coffee #WeAreBimber

#BottleKill of the @whitepeak.bsky.social Temperancebottle from last year. This one was 6 year old STR cask- Strawberry cream chocolate, icing sugar, freshly cracked black pepper. Really enjoyed this one #EnglishWhisky #WireWorks

Tonight's dram- collected earlier in the year when I did the warehouse tour with my dad. Lovely drop to welcome in the colder months #Campbeltown #Kilkerran

I should be okay for a few months with one cask, but I like your thinking- if you can squeeze another one on the roof rack I'd appreciate it!

Huge thanks to Duncan @socialdrammer.bsky.social for picking tonight's #BlindDrams - a really interesting selection from Thompson Brothers.

#BlindDrams dram 5 is less smokey than expected at first, more like maple syrup pancakes and bacon, before the smoke starts swirling out of the glass giving it a punch of flavour

#BlindDrams dram 4- I like that slightly medicinal peat, and it is the type of bottle I'd be tempted to pick up. Overall I think a nice 4 for this

#BlindDrams number four- on the nose this is a medicine cabinet in a glass

On the palate it's lovely and smokey with lemon and sugar pancakes, not as medicinal as the nose, with a touch of vegetal notes in there as well- really enjoying this

#blinddrams dot 3 palate: salty smokey toffee, with a tingle on the tongue, and a whack of an almost rye spice lurking in there. Feels quite warm so guessing a decent whack on the ABV scale, water makes it sweeter and brings out some hints of those sugared lemon and orange slices for cakes

#blinddrams dot 3 is like salted butter popcorn on the nose. Coastal notes and hints of caramel digestives round out the nasal palate for me

#blinddrams dot 2- first one of the night for me and it's quite light at first but with some vegetal and mint notes not dissimilar to a Mezcal. Slightly smoky quality to it too- not sure whether I like or not but edging on a 2 at the moment

Having this sample of Redbreast 15cs- the nose is rich with ribeana, Victoria sponge, and musty jacket. On the palate it's lively with strawberry licorice, a thick buttery mouth feel, spearmint, hint of Christmas cake- looking forward to discovering more as it opens up #Redbreast #Whiskey #Irish
