#BlindTasting Series 3 - Part 3


The final part of Series 3 of #BlindTasting took place last week and it turned out to be one of our more interesting sessions with a few differences of opinion on the drams we were tasting. That was great because that's what #BlindTasting is all about #NoPreconceivedIdeas #EveryPalateIsDifferent

Brian's Birthday Bash

50 not out and the only way to celebrate was to share a dram with a few friends!

I'd made up my mind last year that I wanted a bottle of 50yo whisky to celebrate my birthday, unfortunately when I started looking at single malts there were none within my price range...

@BoutiqueyWhisky came to my rescue with the Batch 5 release of their 50yo Blended Scotch Whisky.

Distillery Visit - Arran

I visited the Arran distillery in April '18, this was my first time!


Arran is just outside Lochranza at the northern end of the Isle Of Arran, you'll need to catch a ferry to get there, which is exactly what we did from Claonaig on Kintyre.
