Patrick Leask 🥃

S5: Couldn't go higher than 3 here, just a little too burnt for my palate #BlindDrams #BTC68

5th and final dram in this month's #BlindDrams #BTC68 "It's Your Round!" hosted by Cameron E5: pale orange N5: smoky and sweet; orange creme caramel, smoked trout and lemon juice, barbecued pork and chilli sausages

P4: thick, sweet and effervescent; refresher sweets, red skin peanuts, licorice root #BlindDrams #BTC68 S4: Another solid 3, very tasty and multi-faceted

4th dram in this month's #BlindDrams #BTC68 "It's Your Round!" hosted by Cameron E4: chestnut brown N4: dark and fruity; mince pie, fly cemetry (dark fruit cake), raspberry liquer, olive oil, blu tack

S3: a solid three for this one, it's rather tasty #BlindDrams #BTC68

R3: some water adds marshmallows to the nose and palate #BlindDrams #BTC68

P3: thick, sweet and warm; marmite on toast, beef stock cubes and the balsamic strawberries from the nose #BlindDrams #BTC68

3rd dram in this month's #BlindDrams #BTC68 "It's Your Round!" hosted by Cameron E3: pale orange N3: sweet and vegetal; bazooka joe bubblegum, purple broccoli, balsamic strawberries, high ABV #BlindDrams #BTC68

S2: not as nice as dram #1, and a little too acidic and bitter for my taste, so I'll give this a one #BlindDrams #BTC68

R2: water adds pear drops and cola cubes to the nose, while the palate gains bitterness with bitter lemon and licorice root #BlindDrams #BTC68

P2: hot, sweet and acidic; burnt toast and marmalade, burnt apple compote. Finish is very drying, burnt lolly sticks #BlindDrams #BTC68

S1: a flavour-banger to start the proceedings, so a solid 3 from me #BlindDrams #BTC68

R1: water dials up the licorice considerably, to a point where it's too dominant, so best to drink this one neat #BlindDrams #BTC68

P1: spicy, syrupy, sweet and salty; cinnamon balls, licorice allsorts, salmiakki (Finnish salted licorice), air-dried ham #BlindDrams #BTC68

8 hours to go until #BlindDrams

Huge thanks to #SpeysideDistillery for the lovely drams this evening, and as always to @thewhiskywire for the invitation to join the tasting crew. My pick of the night is the Fumare, smoky, lemony and creamy, just lovely! #SPEYwhisky

Fumare Reduction: A little water dials up the smoke on the nose, while the palate gets sweeter with more of the cough candy Summary: Delicious, right up my street and scores a 5/5! My favourite dram of the evening #SPEYwhisky

Fumare Palate: creamy and barbecued; lemon syllabub, herbal cough candy, barbecued scallops in lemon butter. Fades into a nice creamy and lemony finish, quite delicious! #SPEYwhisky
