We found love, oh
So don't fight it
Life is a rollercoaster
Just gotta ride it
Right as Rain
P: More Biscuit less fruit, Rye spice is at the forefront with the Malt making it a bit more savoury , Christmas ham, sour dough and salted butter

"as slippery as a baggy up a border burn"

Very big thanks to @thewhiskywire.bsky.social for inviting me on this tasting

1st 3 drams were fine and i wouldnt turn them down if offered but not ones i would buy (maybe a gift), this was very much about Finding Doree

P: Snap, Crackle, Pop! Cantaloupe melon, victoria sponge, lemon icing bofore pulling towards blackcurran and cherry jam then finally fading to a fina menthol note

Dram 4: Brume Doree

N: you really notice the step up in ABV

lemon sherbert, cut grass, pear, a freshly opened back of tangfastics

Dram 3: 15 yp

Now this one is a bit chewier and has more body to it

P: toasted malt loaf with orange marmalade, 5 spice and the chewed pencil taste.

Might be cask char but also getting a subtle hint of smoke

Dram 3: 15yo

N: Mustier than the last 2, Damp Dunnage warehouse, this apple pie has spent a hefty amount of time in the oven but there is a little relief in the form of a dusting of icing sugar

Dram 2: 12 year old

P: apple pie carries through then morphs into darker fudgier notes, mollases, raisins, balsamic raspberry with a tickle of pink peppercorns

another light and easy drinker

Dram 2: 12 year old

N: apple pie - specificaly one of those you get in a big supermarket that is covered in sugar, maybe some rasberry ripple on the side

Chairmans Choice

maybe im more acustomed to higher ABV drams these days as this feels a bit thin

P: mix of chocolate buttons, fig rolls, burnt sugar

while not mind blowing it is dangerously suppable
#SPEYWhisky #Scotch #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment
December 3, 2025 at 7:15 PM
Dram 1: Chairmans Choice

N: Chocolate Orange, cut grass, lemon sponge

Recent auction buy of an early doors release from my favourite Indy* TBWC

NAS but i would suggest this was on the younger side

Still has all the caramel and popcorn notes I love from Invergordon but a bit more fiery
