A little Monday night dram, courtesy of @thewhiskywire.bsky.social. This is an 8 year old @bimberdistillery.bsky.social. Very sweet & sticky on the nose, which continues onto the palate. A beautiful, chewy, and full-bodied whisky. Very drinkable at 50%abv.

I hand filled this Tomatin Virgin Oak almost 5 years ago. It's been open almost the same amount of time and it's 61.8% abv has certainly held its flavour. What a dram! SlΓ inte πŸ₯ƒ

A beautiful drop from Blair Athol in the glass tonight. SMWS always seem to nail it with the quality of their single cask offerings. SlΓ inte πŸ₯ƒ

Dram 4. Special Waters. On the palate, it's just as sticky and complex as I'd hoped. Definitely some smoke coming through, and there's a lovely background sweetness to the flavour. #wireworkswhisky

Dram 4. Special Waters. On the nose is loads of syrup. Sticky and warm, and smells very moreish. #wireworkswhisky

Dram 3. Port Wine LBV. On the palate, a beautiful lingering spice and loads of stewed fruit coming through. I'm getting jam doughnuts. Very moreish with loads going on within the layers of flavour.

Dram 3. Port Wine LBV. On the nose this one is very subtle and light. Pears and rubber bands spring to mind. Sweet hints of white chocolate. #wireworkswhisky

Dram 2. Caduro Cask Strength. On the palate. The abv comes through, but it's also very palatable. Spice with sweetness, it reminds me of Christmas. A long lingering finish that goes on and on. Absolutely love this one. #wireworkswhisky

Dram 2. Caduro Cask Strength. On the nose, it's deep and rich, almost luxurious! Red velvet cake and a slight hint of marzipan. #wireworkswhisky

Dram 1. Bourbon Barrel. On the palate, it's spicy. Very little sweetness, considering how sweet the nose comes across. There's a taste of pears dops and cinnamon in the after taste #wireworkswhisky

Dram 1. Bourbon Barrel. On the nose, I'm getting light fruity notes. Green grapes, green apples. There's some deeper stewed fruit flavours coming through, too. #wireworkswhisky

My Saturday night dram was a wee toast to Rabbie Burns, who was born on this day in 1759. Picked from my collection of whisky from my favourite distillery, the Isle of Raasay. A 5 year old single malt from an unpeated chinkapin cask. A spectacular dram, at 58.2% abv. SlΓ inte Mhath πŸ₯ƒ #DramForTheBard

I've cracked open the Tomatin Virgin Oak distillery exclusive tonight. There's loads of dust on the bottle, but at 61.8%, I'm sure the whisky will still taste just as great as the last time. SlΓ inte πŸ₯ƒ
