I didn't expect that from Sainsbury's. Their CMO is the LGBT+ inclusion advocate on their Operating Board.

Bit cold for ice cream, but I could probably be persuaded to have a @circumstancewhisky.bsky.social gelato from Jack's in Cambridge 🥃🍦

Just opened this month's @summertonclub.com bottle, a 20yo Invergordon finished in amarone casks. Such a good cask choice! Well done, Dan 👏

Autumnal tumbler for an easy-drinking Green Spot.

What's the author's experience of Hong Kong? As someone who grew up there and has family living there currently, I can say it does not offer a solution.

Palate is salty and smoky. Quite funky, but works well for me.

#BlindDrams 5 nose is Frazzles. Then leather, and something fruity underneath.

Gary 🥃 @whiskywords.bsky.social · Sep 13

Seaside as well. Something fishy/salty, in a good way.

Gary 🥃 @whiskywords.bsky.social · Sep 13

Palette is amazing. It's a toffee apple at a bonfire - has anyone tried smoking a toffee apple? #BlindDrams

Gary 🥃 @whiskywords.bsky.social · Sep 13

Nose on #BlindDram 4 hit me with feints to start. There's some good wood smoke once the glass has cleared. Proper bonfire. Some white pepper there too.

Gary 🥃 @whiskywords.bsky.social · Sep 13

Palate is leathery, woody, sweet undertones. Something berry in there.

Gary 🥃 @whiskywords.bsky.social · Sep 13

#BlindDrams 3 nose: Smelt like something I want from Christmas after resting - sweet and smoky. But agitating it gives more funk and dirty peat.

Gary 🥃 @whiskywords.bsky.social · Sep 13

Palate is lovely. Savoury, good smoke levels, great mouthfeel. Bitter, dry. Orange zest. #BlindDrams

Gary 🥃 @whiskywords.bsky.social · Sep 13

#BlindDrams number 2. Good bit of peat on the nose. Not overpowering, just a nice smokiness.

Gary 🥃 @whiskywords.bsky.social · Sep 13

Takes water well. Scores a 3 for me.

Gary 🥃 @whiskywords.bsky.social · Sep 13

First #BlindDrams starts with lots of sweetness and orchard fruit on the nose. Smells peppery too. Something more savoury when you go back to it.
Palate brings something funky. More savoury. Big alcohol kick.

Gary 🥃 @whiskywords.bsky.social · Sep 13

Ready for my first #BlindDrams. It's making the room smell amazing.

Gary 🥃 @whiskywords.bsky.social · Sep 12

I've always liked Lochlea, and this one's delicious. Much smoother and more rounded than the first couple of crops.

Gary 🥃 @whiskywords.bsky.social · Sep 11

Getting painfully close to the end of this one. And just as we're getting to peated season.

I've got A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts - it needs water. Makes a good high ball, actually.

I think I remember her saying the only Nordic whisky she likes is Fishky.

Gary 🥃 @whiskywords.bsky.social · Aug 20

Whiskers and whisky. My cat with a Summerton bottle of Mackmyra from three years ago.

Gary 🥃 @whiskywords.bsky.social · Aug 19

We went in for a set tasting but it was all pretty standard fare that I'd had before, so we grabbed this as an expression I hadn't tried 😁

4 years since killing a bottle of @bimberdistillery.bsky.social on my stag do at Milroy's. That was a good day 🥃
