Lots of clues to the Ting Tings "That's not my name" in the posts tonight. Theme, if anyone hasnt clicked was that all the drams were not named after the distillery they were distilled in. #BlindDrams

Huge thanks to Ben @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social for choosing tonight's drams - a really interesting selection!
His theme : They Call Me Hell - as none of the drams were not labelled by their distillery name!
