Brace yourself everyone it's #WhiskySanta time of year again!

Spotted on a shelf in Edinburgh (there's two)!

Dram 3 Nose - Cleaning fluid, chlorine, white spirit #BlindDrams

Dram 3 Palate: What I imagine paint stripper to taste like, loads of spice that doesn't fit together at all #BlindDrams

Dram 3 Finish: Little bit of peat but still really aggressive and not put together #BlindDrams

Dram 3 Score: Gonna be a 0 from me. Really not keen on this one at all #BlindDrams

Dram 4 Palate: There's earthy peat to the palate that I don't get on the nose at all. Quite a nice peat to it, none of the same sweetness from the nose but plenty of warmth #BlindDrams

Dram 4 Finish: Sweetness returns with cane sugar, peat is balanced out really well with earthy dunnage #BlindDrams

Dram 4 Score: Gonna give it a 3. Solid stuff #BlindDrams

Dram 5 Nose: Honey, smells like a north british I had and didn't enjoy a while ago, zesty, some lemon and a bit of key lime pie #BlindDrams

Dram 5 Palate: Spicey, fiery, earthy again but not overpowering. Something a little beefy and meaty in there. Chargirlled steak? #BlindDrams

Dram 5 Finish: Smokey bacon, chargrilled beef, spicey, then some apple, lemon and lime returns #BlindDrams

Dram 5 Score: It can have a 3, it's really a 2.5 but 2 seems harsh and purely coming from my lack of affinity to peat #BlindDrams

Circling back to dram 1: I quite like it, sweet and sugary with loads of toffee and caramel. It can have a 4! #BlindDrams

Dram 2: Some berries, sweet and creamy. This one can have a 3 as well #BlindDrams
