It's the morning after the tasting from the night before so the coffee pot is running at full throttle. A huge thanks to all those who took part and followed last nights mini The Borders Distillery Tasting. A sensational sip, enjoyed in great company! #TheBordersDistillery

#TheBordersDistillery overall thoughts: a really easy sipper, not too much heat or spice, a cracking dram for those who want a tasty gentle dram packed with flavour. 👍🏼 🥃
Tonight, we’ve shared, sipped and savoured a solo blended bottled belter from The Borders Distillery, in the form of their Right As Rain release. What are your overall thoughts? #TheBordersDistillery #BePartOfTheDramfotainment #LetsHearItForTheBlends #Scotch #Whisky

Huge thanks to @thewhiskywire.bsky.social and @TheBordersDistillery for tonight's very quaffable #TheBordersDistillery Tasting with special mention of the extras - the branded pencil for tasting notes, Glencairn and, my personal favourite, a whisky pin for my collection. Thank you!

The #TheBordersDistillery Right as rain Blended Scotch Whisky is a very competent & tasty thing. Plenty of flavours to deliberate on and the pleasure of experiencing a new sensation as it morphs in the glass. Definitely one that I will look to get being a distillery close enough to me for a ride out

Interesting dram, and a clever blend of casks. I enjoyed this one
