Double Cask P: like a really dense dark chocolate cake, nutmeg, ginger, raisin. actually its a lot like a Riesen chcolate chew #theNetherfield

141

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

Doublewood N: a bit gassier this one, shoe polish, a touch of apricot sneaking in there too #TheNetherfield

031

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

Linkwood P: meatier than the nose would suggest. digestive bisciut, golden syrup, pistachio. some cinnamon and cloves quiet drying again the ABV is well hidden #TheNetherfield

041

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

Linkwood N: instant herbality , melon sweets or maybe even haribo strawberries. Its doing a good job of hiding its high ABV #TheNetherfield

021

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

House Release P: very approachable, lemon cheeseckake,some chocolate and cocobut like a macaroon bar (who knew they were made from potato!!) i dont think it will blow anyones socks off but its definetly a very solid entry level whisky #TheNetherfield

040

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

House Release N: that hit you get when you open a tin of biscuits at chistmas, some apple, some lemon. Theres a buttery sweetness to it #TheNetherfield

031

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

Peat Chimney P: salty, smokey, hokey cokey. i asssume this is what a pulled pork smore would taste like. looks atrocious but it tickles those taste buds #wemyssmalts

062

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

Peat Chimney N: bbq fish kind of smoke, while on a ferry - hopefully its from the kitchen and not the engines theres subtle sweetness that creeps in as well #wemyssmalts

052

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

Intrepid Mariner N: seems more subtle than the previous 2, grass forward, whiff of chocolate orange , peppermint candy canes #wemyssmalts

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

VelvetFig P: maybe its cuase i made some at the weekend but mars bar cakes, i dont actually think i know what fig tastes like but raisons, dried cranberrys & mixed nuts it a fruit and nut bar thats broken into a distillery #WemyssMalts

020

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

VelvetFig ive loved the previous 3 iternations of VF so lets so how this is N: straight off the bat theres freshly honeycombed honecomb (toffee) , melon (Cantaloupe or Gaiia) the inside of a pack of chocolate buttons #WemyssMalts

042

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

a ¼ past P: it was like the nose was playing a prank on me* some heft and chew to it, sweet burnt ends, chocolate gâteau, curly wurlies and tree bark ABV has coated my entire mouth and provided a pleasant tingle *i am getting new windows fitted and the house reeks of silicone #WemyssMalts

052

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

a ¼ past N: apples, Demerara sugar, lemon sponge cake its hiding the ABV well oh to be 25years (young) again #WemyssMalts

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

When folk say grain has to be old to be good that clearly haven't had this. Look at the colour of this 5yo NB Absolutely bursting with flavour too #whisky

’Twas the night before Christmas, all quiet and still, Not a creature was stirring on house, yard, or hill; The Glencairns were placed by the hearth with great care, In hopes that Saint Whisky soon would be there; Merry Christmas all!

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Right as Rain P: More Biscuit less fruit, Rye spice is at the forefront with the Malt making it a bit more savoury , Christmas ham, sour dough and salted butter "as slippery as a baggy up a border burn" #thebordersdistillery

031

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Right as Rain N: Bright and lively. Lemon Peel, Sugared Almnonds, Apple skin and white grapes on a bed of biscuity malt #thebordersdistillery

031

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Visited #theBordersdistillery back in January and picked up bottles of the Malt & Rye and The Long & Short of it (both didn't last long) so looking forward to trying their 3rd release Right as Rain tomorrow

Very big thanks to @thewhiskywire.bsky.social for inviting me on this tasting 1st 3 drams were fine and i wouldnt turn them down if offered but not ones i would buy (maybe a gift), this was very much about Finding Doree #SPEYWhisky #Scotch #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

041

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Dram 4: Brume Doree its a step up on exctiment on the tongue P: Snap, Crackle, Pop! Cantaloupe melon, victoria sponge, lemon icing bofore pulling towards blackcurran and cherry jam then finally fading to a fina menthol note #SPEYWhisky #Scotch #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

041

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Dram 4: Brume Doree N: you really notice the step up in ABV lemon sherbert, cut grass, pear, a freshly opened back of tangfastics #SPEYWhisky #Scotch #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

061

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Dram 3: 15 yp Now this one is a bit chewier and has more body to it P: toasted malt loaf with orange marmalade, 5 spice and the chewed pencil taste. Might be cask char but also getting a subtle hint of smoke #SPEYWhisky #Scotch #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

051

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Dram 3: 15yo N: Mustier than the last 2, Damp Dunnage warehouse, this apple pie has spent a hefty amount of time in the oven but there is a little relief in the form of a dusting of icing sugar #SPEYWhisky #Scotch #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

051

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Dram 2: 12 year old P: apple pie carries through then morphs into darker fudgier notes, mollases, raisins, balsamic raspberry with a tickle of pink peppercorns another light and easy drinker #SPEYWhisky #Scotch #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

040

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Dram 2: 12 year old N: apple pie - specificaly one of those you get in a big supermarket that is covered in sugar, maybe some rasberry ripple on the side #SPEYWhisky #Scotch #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

051

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Chairmans Choice maybe im more acustomed to higher ABV drams these days as this feels a bit thin P: mix of chocolate buttons, fig rolls, burnt sugar while not mind blowing it is dangerously suppable #SPEYWhisky #Scotch #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

061

Paul Whitson 🥃 @crozeability.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Dram 1: Chairmans Choice N: Chocolate Orange, cut grass, lemon sponge #SPEYWhisky #Scotch #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment
