Darker than the darkest dark dram from Darkland Distillery in Darkville. Quite oily in the glass, nose surprisingly closed, thick caramel/treacle, some floral notes, Werther’s Original.

Marginally better than dram 1 but just not my sticky toffee pudding. Score 2

#BlindDrams

2F
Quite long, with lingering bitterness, pencil shavings, marginally better than dram 1, feels like it promised more than it delivered.

Rich and juicy, but also mouth drying, quite spicy/spirity again, strangely for me could do with more sweetness to balance out the sour milk, banana skin, slightly bitter

Thankfully dissipates quickly but there is a slight lingering of something that isn’t my cup of tea. Water makes the finish longer, unfortunately.

Is there grain here? Very spiritual/high abv, glue, too sweet, making my head sore, more salty with water, not pleasant for me

#BlindDrams

Golden colour, thin oil, some salt, fresh sea air, lingering smell of used chewing gum, there’s some fruit (passion fruit?), adhesive tape, Sellotape

Tonight’s #BlindDrams hosted by us three Rentons (the Triumvirate, being three rulers) showcased whiskies from distilleries which are no more than 30 years old (Tridecadal, being a *ChatGPT word* for a 30 year period) - in honour of Lochranza Distillery’s (and Jamie’s) 30th birthday this year!
