A funky #GlenScotia with a delicious port finish. Although unpeated, it has a very tasty earthy note on the (my) palate.

Gradierwerk Bad Karlshafen Am Gradierwerk entspannen, salzhaltige Luft einatmen und den Stress des Alltags von sich abfallen lassen, das ist Erholung.

Fascinating. But I don't think it's the only one in the world. I've been to one in Bad Karlshafen, Germany. In operation since 1984.

Surprised (to say the least) that someone had the courage to put such a relatively cheap spirit in a mizunara cask. Don't get me wrong, I love PD grain whisky and this one sounds fab. But still amazed they did it 😍πŸ₯ƒ

It's a very nice dram. I think bourbon drinkers would love it.

Exploring something new tonight, a dram from the very young #Bonnington distillery. Based in Leith, #Edinburgh, they started production in 2020. This one was matured in virgin oak. Sweet with intense rye aroma, it could be a bourbon whiskey.

You must visit #Arran and both distilleries, you won't be disappointed

Tonight's dram is like being unexpectedly visited by an old friend. It's been a while since I last had a bottle of this, still a real cracker πŸ₯ƒβ€οΈπŸ˜‹

It's good news that #springbank try to provide a bit more volume at the lower price range and I really enjoyed this release. But yeah, definitely needs a splash of water πŸ˜…πŸ˜‹πŸ₯ƒ

It's been a long wait. I bought 3 bottles when they were released end of 2016, one for my son, one for me and the third for drinking. Always planned for his 30th, the moment now finally arrived.
