The scores are in for last night's Blind Tasting Consortium's #BTC59 #BlindDrams
Ben @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social picked 5 peated drams for his theme They Call me Hell - none of the drams featured the name of the distillery on the bottle!

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!

We'll run through each in turn, sharing nose, palate and finish thoughts, maybe guessing what each is and giving a score 0-5.
Then an important question: "Based on nose and taste alone - would you buy a bottle?"
All the drams will be revealed all at the end!

He’s gone with the theme They Call Me Hell
The other 27 will blind taste the 5 drams & give honest opinions knowing nothing about the whiskies, no preconceived ideas, no marketing, just the liquid.

This time Ben @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social has picked 5 different bottles of whisky. He’s split them into samples and posted them out; each member receiving 5 x 50ml samples.
The catch is that only he knows what they are!

The idea behind #BlindDrams is that we try the drams and share our opinions before we know what they are!
If you like a dram you can go and buy a bottle!
If you've tried it before but didn't recognise it?
Palates change & now might be the time to re-discover!
