Huge thanks to Roy/Andy @aw708.bsky.social for a very interesting set of drams - probably my highest scores ever!

One last thing for those still wondering what the 74 referenced in the tasting title refers to, it’s the sum of the combined ages of the drams from tonights tasting. Have a great rest of the night, all the best Andy (and Roy!) #Blinddrams
