Well thanks as always to @thewhiskywire.bsky.social for organising another great tasting. Thanks to #BenromachWhisky for the drams. A real constant thread of flavour through that Benromach spirit with age and cask showing influence on each dram. #BenromachWhisky

With no irony of repeating myself, orange, rasberry, toffee apples, gingerbread, cracked black pepper, oaky subtle smoke! #BenromachWhisky

WhiskyWithoutMolly @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

A really inviting nose of gingerbread sprinkled with brown sugar. Dried Apricots, sweet sherry, more orange, fresh rasberries again!! #BenromachWhisky

WhiskyWithoutMolly @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

OK minor child distraction but back on focus now. The 15yo is caramelised apples with all the Benromach notes of orange peel, cracked black pepper, coca, light smoke. #BenromachWhisky

The surprise for me on this tonight is just how much fresh rasberries I am getting on it. That typical Benromach cracked black pepper is really prominent also. #BenromachWhisky

I'll admit to already owning a bottle of this and not initially being blown away by it. However, it has grown on me. The nose has those typical sherry cask stewed fruits, raisins, branbrack, orange peel, ginger and dark chocolate. #BenromachWhisky

For a 46%er the finish is nice and well rounded and runs for days #BenromachWhisky

Hmm this is really rather pleasant. The core of the Benromach spirit still cuts through that syrupy wine cask with orange zest, crystalised ginger and black pepper. a smouldering wood smoke and of course the dark forest fruits are all still here. #BenromachWhisky

WhiskyWithoutMolly @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

The wine cask on this is achingly obvious. Big fruit coulis notes. I can almost smell the wine directly and the skin of the grapes. Chocolate pots. A Blackberry hedgerow. #BenromachWhisky

Dram 1 smells as if it could be quite young. Very fruity and spirity #BlindDrams

Well thank you #DrinkHIP. you have achieved nirvana in that I have finished a tasting with more left than I have drunk thanks to your very generous samples. Thanks as always to @thewhiskywire.bsky.social for providing the #Dramfotainment. Loved the 20cl concept. Will look out for more.

I'm into a world of the unknown here but the nose is bannanas (literally), nuts, dried fruit, cranberries, honeycomb #DrinkHIP

Again to get a 20cl bottle of a 28yo Invergordon for under £20 really is a great thing! #DrinkHIP

Now let me get this straight You put the lime in the coconut, you drank 'em both up #DrinkHIP

The citrus carries through on the palate. Its kinda thin on the mouthfeel. The ashy smoke is pleasant. A bit of chocolate limes in there and a peppery prickle in the finish. #DrinkHIP

WhiskyWithoutMolly @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

For me the nose has a light smoke. A bit grassy? Salted lemon, minerallic. Burnt ends. Like smelling your hands after taking off marigolds!! #DrinkHIP

I hate saying it but that whisky is SMOOOOOTH! The orchard fruit comes through with caramel with a long soft oak finish #DrinkHIP

WhiskyWithoutMolly @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Typical Speyside on the nose from those refill sherry notes. Almond croissants on the nose, apple strudel with icing sugar, some caramel and a light vanilla. #DrinkHIP

The Deanston has a wonderful oily mouthfeel that really coats the mouth. Its vibrant and dances on the palate. #OneCaskAtATime

The lemony smoke on the palate is backed up by toffee and iodine. A real nutty minerality exists but for me the lingery peat is wonderful #RareFindWhisky

WhiskyWithoutMolly @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

The nose is lemony, smokey ash, salty maltiness, lobster pots, briney olives. Caol Ila tastic! #RareFindWhisky

WhiskyWithoutMolly @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Tesco's described the palate on this perfectly! 😉 Berries, sultanas amd a lovely peppery finish #RareFindWhisky

Big initial hit of fruit (both orchard and dark fruits) Palate then middles off to chocolate caramel brownies, Jamacian Ginger cake and walnuts. #RareFindWhisky

Lemon bonbons, strawberry chewits, caramelised condensed milk, vanilla custard. This is a dessert menu of a nose! #RareFindWhisky

The palate is a continuation of the nose with oodles of apple turnovers. A lovely creamy mouthfeel. Some Lemon Meringue Pie! #RareFindWhisky

Dram 5 - Score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 - I'd be over the moon if given a bottle of this, and would probably drink it fairly quickly. This is a very good dram. Just falls short of a 5 #BlindDrams

WhiskyWithoutMolly @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Dram 5 - On the palate: Salty olives, cinnamon lozenges, pear drops, white winey? #BlindDrams

WhiskyWithoutMolly @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Dram 4 - Score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 - I'd be over the moon if given a bottle of this, and would probably drink it fairly quickly. Banging dram but the lack of finish makes it a 4. So nearly a 5 #BlindDrams

060

WhiskyWithoutMolly @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Dram 4 - The finish: Let down on the finish as it just disappears. But still a banging dram #BlindDrams

WhiskyWithoutMolly @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Dram 4 - On the palate: Lemony shellfish. A campfire recently put out. Freshly BBQ'd mackerel #BlindDrams

WhiskyWithoutMolly @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Dram 4 - On the nose: Another banger on the nose. More lemon! Beautiful costal notes of lobster pots, smoky ash, dark fruits #BlindDrams

WhiskyWithoutMolly @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Dram 3 - Score: ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 - Damn drinkable and if within my price range, I'd happily buy (or have bought) one of these and enjoy it. Another solid dram. This could have been a 4 on another day #BlindDrams

WhiskyWithoutMolly @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Dram 3 - On the palate: Rubbery sherry cask? Another oily dram from this coastal selection. #BlindDrams

WhiskyWithoutMolly @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Dram 3 - On the nose: Great nose. Really fruity! A bit of funk, stone fruits, menthol. #BlindDrams
