  • Epic Blind Tasting - 8 Drams!!! Part 2
    David very kindly sent us a pack of 8 samples to try blind! We did make the effort to try them all at once but it took a quite a while so we've split it up in to a two-parter.

    Dram 1 - Linkwood 16 Year Old North Star Spirits
    Dram 2 - Ardnamruchan Madeira Hogshead
    Dram 3 - Teaninich 13 Year Old PX Hogshead Alistair Walker
    Dram 4 - Bunnahabhain Abhainn Araig Bourbon and PX Octave

    Going to propose instead of slaintè, we go with the CC suggestion of "its lunch". Love a good food pairing anyhow.
    Not sure how you went through all 8 in one sitting, my day might end up being a wash even with small sips at that rate
    Edit: thank god y'all two hesitate at some of the Bunna batch names, too

    Above you've transposed the UR in ArdnamURchan, and I think you mean Mannochmore rather than Monochmore (almost monochrome?😉). Fantastic range, big, big thanks to David.👍 You were right to split the 8 into 2 lots, and not meant as a criticism of David but maybe better if he'd split his drams info. into 2 lots as well so they could be announced/disclosed separately, as it becomes difficult to remember back to the earlier set.
    I had a small taste of the Ardnamurchan Madeira hogshead cask strength at a local shop a few weeks back and really enjoyed its zingy intensity and flavours, but alas don't have any notes to describe. Looking forward to opening it in due course.

    Greetings from Los Angeles. Just checking. Probably a question you frequently get. Are you still posting? In any case, I wish you both well.

    Eight drams in a row seems a bit too much. I am pretty dizzy...
    I have to rewatch these two videos.
    So, Deanston was the aftershave, wasn't it?
    Sounds like Deanston anyway. 🙂
    As I said, I have to rewatch them...

    Don’t worry the Lakes is Scottish owned, adhere’s to our rules , is not far away from the Border, and is attempting to become the Macallan of England

      Overhyped, overpriced and underwhelming? Macallan's not much of a goal to aspire to.

      Good... good... good... and good luck. They'll need to build up an impeccable reputation over decades, built on the quality of their sherry casks rather than their spirit, before they have the luxury to mail it in and ride those coattails through a whisky boom on mediocre spirit and cringey advertising.
