A little Monday night dram, courtesy of @thewhiskywire.bsky.social. This is an 8 year old @bimberdistillery.bsky.social. Very sweet & sticky on the nose, which continues onto the palate. A beautiful, chewy, and full-bodied whisky. Very drinkable at 50%abv.

I hand filled this Tomatin Virgin Oak almost 5 years ago. It's been open almost the same amount of time and it's 61.8% abv has certainly held its flavour. What a dram! Slàinte 🥃

Best way to kick off the week, with a beautiful glass of Raasay Whisky 🥃

A beautiful drop from Blair Athol in the glass tonight. SMWS always seem to nail it with the quality of their single cask offerings. Slàinte 🥃

Dram 4. Special Waters. On the palate, it's just as sticky and complex as I'd hoped. Definitely some smoke coming through, and there's a lovely background sweetness to the flavour. #wireworkswhisky

Dram 4. Special Waters. On the nose is loads of syrup. Sticky and warm, and smells very moreish. #wireworkswhisky

Chris B 🥃 @scotch-whisky78.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

Dram 3. Port Wine LBV. On the palate, a beautiful lingering spice and loads of stewed fruit coming through. I'm getting jam doughnuts. Very moreish with loads going on within the layers of flavour. #wireworkswhisky

Chris B 🥃 @scotch-whisky78.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

Dram 3. Port Wine LBV. On the nose this one is very subtle and light. Pears and rubber bands spring to mind. Sweet hints of white chocolate. #wireworkswhisky

Chris B 🥃 @scotch-whisky78.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

Dram 2. Caduro Cask Strength. On the palate. The abv comes through, but it's also very palatable. Spice with sweetness, it reminds me of Christmas. A long lingering finish that goes on and on. Absolutely love this one. #wireworkswhisky

Chris B 🥃 @scotch-whisky78.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

Dram 2. Caduro Cask Strength. On the nose, it's deep and rich, almost luxurious! Red velvet cake and a slight hint of marzipan. #wireworkswhisky

Dram 1. Bourbon Barrel. On the palate, it's spicy. Very little sweetness, considering how sweet the nose comes across. There's a taste of pears dops and cinnamon in the after taste #wireworkswhisky

Chris B 🥃 @scotch-whisky78.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

Dram 1. Bourbon Barrel. On the nose, I'm getting light fruity notes. Green grapes, green apples. There's some deeper stewed fruit flavours coming through, too. #wireworkswhisky

My Saturday night dram was a wee toast to Rabbie Burns, who was born on this day in 1759. Picked from my collection of whisky from my favourite distillery, the Isle of Raasay. A 5 year old single malt from an unpeated chinkapin cask. A spectacular dram, at 58.2% abv. Slàinte Mhath 🥃 #DramForTheBard

Bottle kill tonight of this wonderful Raasay. Slàinte 🥃

I've cracked open the Tomatin Virgin Oak distillery exclusive tonight. There's loads of dust on the bottle, but at 61.8%, I'm sure the whisky will still taste just as great as the last time. Slàinte 🥃

Chris B 🥃 @scotch-whisky78.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

A drop of Loch Lomond 10 year old in the glass tonight, slàinte 🥃

Reaching to the Raasay shelf now, to pour a drop of the Raasay Ex-Manzanilla cask release tonight, to celebrate all the recent awards won by the distillery. Very much deserved. Fantastic achievement. Slàinte Mhath 🥃.

Chris B 🥃 @scotch-whisky78.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Doing some drammage this evening. Onto this 9 year old Glenrothes, at 57.1%. It's a nippy wee sherry delight. Slàinte 🥃

Chris B 🥃 @scotch-whisky78.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Next up tonight, on this very rainy Friday, a wee jump back to 1991 when this cracking Grain was distilled. Slàinte 🥃

Chris B 🥃 @scotch-whisky78.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

I'm kicking off the weekend in style with this brilliant 5 year old single cask Raasay from Caskshare. The complexity of this dram can not be understated. I love it! Slàinte folks...🥃

Chris B 🥃 @scotch-whisky78.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

So, I decided the HP wasn't really hitting the spot, so a secondary nightcap dram was required. This single cask "secret" Macallan should do the trick at 64%...slàinte 🥃

Something a little lighter for a Wednesday evening nightcap. Slàinte #HighlandPark #Orkney

A drop of single cask Raasay in the glass for a wee Thursday night dram. Bottled exclusively for Tyndrum Whisky, this one hits hard at 59.7% abv. It's an absolute stunner! Slàinte 🥃

bluesky is the short king of social apps in all seriousness, we're up against incumbents that have repeatedly lost your trust. we're young and consistently growing, and we're building an open social network that puts users first. we're very excited to have you along for the ride 🦋

Well, hello @bsky.app folks. Glad to be here. Decided for the inaugural post on my account, I'd pop a fresh bottle! Glenmorangie 14, The Quita Ruban. Bottled at 46%, the original 12 year old of this whisky was one of the first drams that made me fall in love with Whisky many years ago. Slàinte 🥃
