What with the price of that middle dram, I suspected dram 5 might have been a pint of milk #BlindDrams

#BlindDrams dot 3 palate is violently drying like a Dyson hand-dryer, but there is an abundance of liquorice and blackcurrants - I love Matt's description of grippy, it feels like Harold Lloyd is hanging on to my tongue
