DrivenByDrams Speyside Tour - Planning

This year the DrivenByDrams gang paid a visit to Speyside, for me it was my first time that far north in Scotland.

We'd picked four 'warehouse tastings' and a number of distillery visits to fill our time!

Side by side: An indie Tormore flight

#BlindTasting Series 4 - Review

Series 4 of #BlindTasting has recently finished and as usual I'll post a summary. There had been a bit of a gap from Series 3 and this one extended longer than we thought it would - pressures of work!

Thanks to Steve @TweetTastings for selecting me for a great evening on twitter trying the new Discovery range from @Gordon_MacPhail.

The Discovery Range is a new addition to G&M's portfolio, it's an introductory range offering "an utterly dependable and consistent choice of our finest single malt whiskies, each expression sits within the bold flavour profiles of either 'Sherry', 'Smoky', or 'Bourbon'"
