ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 19/08/2026That’s it… tonight’s tasting for #OneCaskAtATime and Steve Rush - a Deanston 13, Glen Garioch 15 and a Ledaig 18. Favourite was the Ledaig, closely followed by the Deanston. 000
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Really enjoyed all three. Pleasantly surprised by the Glen Garioch after being disappointed by the subtly of the nose. Favourite was the Ledaig, not followed too far behind by the Deanston. Enjoy everyone - I'm off to walk the dog! #OneCaskAtATime #BePartOfTheDramfotainment 031
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Adding the water makes this dram more approachable - dials back the intensity of the maritime and smoky influences, yet almost allows the finish to linger longer than it had before. #OneCaskAtATime #BePartOfTheDramfotainment 041
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 19/08/2026On the palette this packs the punch I wanted from a Ledaig: properly smoky, earthy, a little chocolate, dark fruits with some salinity and ginger in there too. The finish is all about the lingering maritime smoke; warming but not overpowering. #OneCaskAtATime #BePartOfTheDramfotainment 031
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Straight away, that classic Ledaig peat. Peppery, wood smoke, orange; maybe some dried fruit and cigar in the background? #OneCaskAtATime #BePartOfTheDramfotainment 061
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 19/08/2026On the palette it is far more punchy than the nose suggested; in a good way. Honey, vanilla, cereal and some quality ginger coming through. Finish isn't as long as the last one. #OneCaskAtATime #BePartOfTheDramfotainment 041
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 19/08/2026On the nose I'm finding this so much subtler than the Deanston. The sweetness of the malt, vanilla and some light floral notes is lovely - but I was expecting a little more. #OneCaskAtATime #BePartOfTheDramfotainment 041
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 19/08/2026That's a really lovely dram with a few small drops of water (using @Larkfire) and it's really opened up the malt, and the finish, whilst lingering is far gentler. I could get on borad with this at this time of year! #OneCaskAtATime #BePartOfTheDramfotainment 020
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Okay, on the palette it's really creamy and thick. Soft spice comes through as it transitions to a long lingering finish. Really enjoying the maltiness, and the sweet honey and vanilla notes. #OneCaskAtATime #BePartOfTheDramfotainment 041
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Oh my: shortbread, vanilla, apple (thinking green) and a sweet note of malt. That's delightful. #OneCaskAtATime #BePartOfTheDramfotainment 073
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Gone a little rogue tonight. Revisiting the @auchentoshan 21 Years Old. Influences from ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. Always found bottles from here incredibly drinkable and smooth. This is a little more complex, but retains that signature smoothness. 110
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 18/08/2026So this was what the whole evening was building towards (before the extra dram from the same distillery). This is the Kilchoman Rockside 11 year old that replaces what was the 100% Islay releases. First age statement in their core range. 111
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 18/08/2026There was a lot of fun with this comparison with @penderyn.distillery with their core Madeira finish against their Icons No.9 called The Headliner. The Madiera finish is soft and approachable; vanilla, honey, tropical fruits, but The Headliner wins this one for me. 110
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 18/08/2026First up last Friday was this beautiful bottle from the GlenAllachie - the 12 is special, but the 15 just hits with more of a sherry bomb. Some how it’s never made it in to my cabinet… that’ll have to change this autumn / winter! 100
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 18/08/2026This was last night's dram - I went German with this one, and the Slyrs Amontillado Cask Finish. It's such a good dram. First post in a while for Bluesky. #whisky #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #slyrswhisky #germanwhisky 010
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 05/04/2025Something with a bit more punch tonight 🥃 @ardnamurchanwhisky.bsky.social AD/09.22 Cask Strength 020
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 11/03/2025Can not wait to open this bottle from @ardnamurchanwhisky.bsky.social 🥃 Tasted delightful when visiting last month… could it be the first from the trip to be opened? #whisky #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #ardnamurchan #ardnamurchanwhisky 020
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 03/03/2025EUREKA! 🥃 Finally my Ardbeg Committee 25th Anniversary release arrived this morning! Half PX Sherry casks alongside half roasted malt spirit from bourbon casks makes an intriguing concept combined with the Ardbeg smoke. 220
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Time for a week of single malt scotch… headed north of the border 🏴 The Oban 14 is beautiful and hopefully foreshadows being back by the coast. #whisky #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #obanwhisky 040
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 09/02/2025This time next week it’ll be Ardnamurchan Eve! A little excited for the trip away back north of the border 🏴 It’s the @ardnamurchanwhisky.bsky.social Cask Strength AD/09.22 in the glass tonight. #whisky #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #ardnamurchanwhiaky #ardnamurchan 030

ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Little dram of the Americana Whiskey small batch bourbon… 020
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 01/01/2025Happy New Year! What a way to start the year with a 33yo Bowmore The Changling x Frank Quitely 🥃 And oh wow… it’s a beautiful. Been saving this one for a long while… #whisky #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #bowmorewhisky #bowmorechangling #happynewyear 020
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 31/12/2024Final 🥃 of 2024… the @ardnamurchanwhisky.bsky.social Sherry Cask Release… definitely feeling the higher 50% abv and the sherry bomb of sorts. Great end… hope the start of 2025 is just as powerful! #whisky #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #ardnamurchan #ardnamurchanwhisky #happybewyear 020
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 31/12/2024Staying simple this NYE and sticking with the @ardnamurchanwhisky.bsky.social tasting set… the Sauternes Cask Release is up first 🥃 #whisky #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #ardnamurchan #ardnamurchanwhisky #happynewyear 030
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Second of the first night… another @ardnamurchanwhisky.bsky.social release… the Rum Cask Release 👌🏻🥃 Reminds me of Fire & Cane 🤔 #whisky #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #ardnamurchan #ardnamurchanwhisky 010
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Little trip away for New Year, didn’t want to bring any bottles, so brought some miniatures to work through, mainly from @ardnamurchanwhisky.bsky.social … starting with the /AD Single Malt Whisky… it’s pretty darn good, but great to get familiar with the spirit before visiting in a few weeks! 010
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 25/12/2024Been waiting to open this for a few months. Saved for today… second bottle of Glenmorangie Signet. Always a beauty, and feels a luxury 🥃 Merry Christmas, sláinte. #whisky #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #glenmorangiesignet #chocolatemalt 040
ForTheDram @forthedram.bsky.social · 24/12/2024Great start to the Christmas break with a The Beefy Boys followed by cracking open the new Tomatin 14yo Tawny Port Pipes after the #bottleswap #whisky #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #tomatinwhisky 040
