All his Roy mates are real, genuine, bonafide, not deep fake or AI generated Roy’s, with the first letters of their surname a clue towards the distilleries featured in tonight’s tasting. #Blinddrams

Now time for the REVeal of the theme which some of you have guessed correctly is Signatory Vintage (post anagram gif), Roy Easing is of course a fictional distiller made up purely for this evening’s entertainment who has never put a vatting together in his life!. #Blinddrams

Dram 4. Palate: Nice 'n syrupy. Sweet and salty, a great combo. Light peat with a touch of ash. Wee herbal note, maybe eucalypyus, with some sweet, tropical fruit medley and some light lemon citrus. Left licking my lips on this one #BlindDrams

Dram 4. Nose: Dusty, wafer biscuits, light caramel, buttery pastry, apple strudel, saline, mineral, and a whiff of light peat. A touch of bacon right at the end #BlindDrams

Dram 3. Palate: Syrupy texture and possibly the sweetest whisky I've ever tasted. Maple syrup, caramel, prune juice. Earthy and meaty with a touch of sulphur. Stewed berries, some pepper, mace, and very drying on the finish #BlindDrams

Dram 2. Palate: Fairly oily and also very prickly. Big hit of liquorice and camphor. This quickly gives way to very sweet stewed fruits, red apple, leather, dusty, old wood, cask char, and ends a little salty #BlindDrams
