A fun drive to Ardnamurchan Distillery yesterday to collect a cask for a client. A long day though!🫣

It'll kill a few mins of your day.
It'll annoy weak-arsed google

Bathe in a little self-righteous smugness
Have a coffee.

Curious about The London Distillery Company’s style of whisky?

Think, spirit-led, barley-centric, genuinely distinctive single malts packed full of rich flavour and you’re on the right track!

It's this time of year we have to remind ourselves that winter doesn't last forever...although it feels like it sometimes!

So far we've had 16 different people/pairs choosing the drams.
They pick a theme, choose their bottles, sample them up and send them out. At the #BlindDrams tasting everyone is invited to nose & taste then share their honest opinions of the drams.
At the end of the evening the bottles are revealed.

Each month one of the group has around £830 to buy 5 pairs of bottles, these are then split into 28 sets of 50ml samples and posted out to the Consortium
#BlindDrams

Later tonight the Blind Tasting Consortium will hold it's 50th #BlindDrams
Initially setup in June 2020 we are a group of 28 friends who meet online most months to blind taste 5 whiskies.

Two cask strength Clynelish drams tonight. Both reward time in the glass. The 2014 select reserve is sweet barley, banana, peaches in syrup and beeswax with a sweet, dry finish. The 20 has more going on, briny, waxy, Werthers, orange peel and a fruity, syrupy, tangy finish. Wonderful!
