#BTC36 #BlindDrams Tasting Notes

These are my tasting notes and results from the Blind Tasting Consortium's 36th #BlindDrams evening.

These drams were picked by Brian @MaltMusings

Side by side: A Little Brown Dog Flight

@lbdspirits are an Indie bottler and micro distillery based in rural Aberdeenshire, founded in 2018.

To celebrate their 5th birthday this week they shared some drams with us!

Whisky Prices 2023 - Key Bottle?

Each September I complete a survey, recording the prices of a distillery's key bottle - the standard bottle which you might buy if wanting to get into a new distillery.

This year's results are in - let's see how things have changed.

Whisky Prices 2023 - 18yos

Each September I complete a survey, recording the prices of a distillery's 18yo - a standard bottle which you might buy for a special occasion like a birthday.

This year's results are in - let's see how things have changed.

Side by side: a flight of Indie Glen Ord

Glen Ord is one of the three distilleries which are sold as Diageo's Singleton brand. There haven't been many distillery bottlings but indie releases are readily available.

Let's try four...

Loch Lomond Steam & Fire

Just to make things a little more complicated @LochLomondMalts have released a new NAS bottling with completely different packaging from their core range!

Ladies & Gentlemen I give you Steam & Fire!

#BTC35 #BlindDrams Tasting Notes

These are my tasting notes from the Blind Tasting Consortium's 35th #BlindDrams evening.

These drams were picked by Duncan @newdramrising

Side by side: Glencadam Reserva Range

@GlencadamWhisky is a slightly unusual Highland's distillery in that it uses ex-bourbon casks for most of it's releases.

That was until it released it's Reserva Collection!

Brave New Spirits @TweetTastings

Indie bottler Brave New Spirits @BNS_Whisky chose a @TweetTastings to launch  some of their new bottlings.

Here's my thoughts and those of a few friends!

Side by side: Four from GlenDronach

I can't remember the last time I reviewed a GlenDronach so here, to make up, are four cask strength bottlings.

Three single casks and the latest Cask Strength Batch.
