#BTC24 #BlindDrams Tasting Notes

 These are my tasting notes from the Blind Tasting Consortium's 24th #BlindDrams evening.

These drams were picked by Mike @WhiskyWings

Side by side: Five 10 year olds

There aren't a lot of distilleries sending out standard bottlings at 10 years of age, most leave it another couple of years for their entry level age statements.

In fact the Balvenie 10yo I'm trying here has been discontinued and replaced by a 12yo.

Whisky 'machinery' - the Washback

Continuing the series looking at some of the 'machinery' used in a distillery to create whisky - this time the Washback or fermenting vessel.

I've covered the basic process of creating whisky here, but I'm going to explore the machinery a little more in this series.

Whisky 'machinery' - the Mash Tun

A new series looking at some of the 'machinery' used in a distillery to create whisky - this time the Mash Tun.

I've covered the basic process of creating whisky here, but I'm going to explore the machinery a little more in this series.

Tomintoul Mystery Drams

 "You've got to be in it to win it" is a common shout when talking about competitions and in this case I was and I did! I added my name into the hat for a Tomintoul Mystery Dram Tasting and won!

So a couple of days later a parcel arrived containing 3 mystery drams....

Side by side : Independent Tomintoul

Tomintoul isn't a distillery I've tried any drams from before - these two independents - a 12yo from Cadenhead and a 14yo from Chorlton are the first I've tried.

Let see how they compare side by side!
