Drams 4 and 5 were what we were promised. Drams 1, 2 and 3 were illegally lifted over the turnstile like a young Ben.
A very splendid score of 4

Candy cigarettes (how were they ever allowed), decent mouthfeel compared to 2, end of palate is wood spices and white pepper, one drop of water improves it/cancels out the pepper

Very dark brown, big hit of Sherry, Woolworth's Pick-n-Mix, hardly any peat (we were promised peat!), more oily, higher abv than dram 2 (but then so is Irn Bru), artificial sweetness, cola cubes, with water is noses like a damp dishcloth

Nose would score higher but overall youth and bitterness gives it a 2 or 3 (tbd)

Deliciously salty, young, slight bitter wood, leather handbag ("a Handbag?!"), high abv, starts well but mid palate it changes and isn't so pleasant.
