My final scores tonight... 3, 2, 2, 3, 4

#BlindDrams #FiveDot : Best dram of the night for me, I’ll give it a 4

#BlindDrams #FiveDot p: Well balanced, sweet and savoury, good texture

#BlindDrams #FiveDot n: This smells better, clean minerality, sweet, fruity

#BlindDrams #FourDot : Once you get past the initial nose, this is pretty good - scores a 3

#BlindDrams #FourDot p: Like the previous dram, this tastes better than it smells for me. Salted caramel (which I like), nice texture, a bit prickly - high ABV?

#BlindDrams #FourDot n: Over-boiled cabbage, some red fruits - all a bit odd

#BlindDrams #ThreeDot : Overall I’m struggling a bit with this one - not terrible so scores another 2

#BlindDrams #ThreeDot p: Thankfully, this tastes way better than it smells. Oddly a bit thin on the palate. Winey.

#BlindDrams #ThreeDot n: Sweaty rubber all the way, very funky this one

#BlindDrams #TwoDot : This is ok, but I enjoyed the first one more, so this can only be a 2

#BlindDrams #TwoDot p: Salinity and a touch funky, could be in Campbeltown here, very drying on the back palate

#BlindDrams #TwoDot n: Smells drier, touchy of grape skins

#BlindDrams #OneDot : This is a decent start, solid 3

#BlindDrams #OneDot p: Good texture, fruit cakey (dried fruits), quite drying

#BlindDrams #OneDot n: Orange marmalade, smells thick (rich) and sweet

#BlindDrams #FiveDot : Another decent dram but not fully igniting my beach bonfire - scores a 3

#BlindDrams #FiveDot p: Ashy, bonfire on the beach, sweet and sour, drying

#BlindDrams #FiveDot n: Medicinal, south-coast Islay

#BlindDrams #FourDot : I like this - scores a 3

#BlindDrams #FourDot p: Decent ABV, but still very drinkable, yesterday’s bonfire.

#BlindDrams #FourDot n: Loads of toffee, wafts of smoke.

#BlindDrams #ThreeDot : My least favourite so far, sorry - scores a 1.

Allez allez allez

#BlindDrams #ThreeDot p: Decent texture, liking that element, but overall struggling a bit with this one.

#BlindDrams #ThreeDot n: Extremely floral, cherry blossom, orchard fruits.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot : Again this is decent - scores another solid 2.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot p: STR? Feels alarmingly familiar! Good texture, quite young, drying on the back palate, peppery

#BlindDrams #TwoDot n: Hedgerow, blackberry brambles, earthy.
