Adam's Notes
Change is inevitable or so they say... With the rising cost-of-living, and folk's increasingly busy schedules, we want to make sure that our club remains accessible to all members. So, after more than half a decade since we launched our Drop-In Drams, we're mixing up the formula a wee bit!
In the past, we've released new drams every two weeks, and samples cost $5 each (or were free for premium members). From now on that has all changed! We're now releasing two drams simultaneously every month on the second Monday of the month. One of these two will be a budget-friendly option and will be completely free for every member. The other will be a premium (and sometimes super premium) option that is also free, but only available for existing Dram Association Premium Members.
For the first month of this new release schedule, I'm revisiting a couple of personal favorites from the last 12 months. Our free dram this month was first featured this time last year, and has since become an absolute staple of the store - and a big favourite of our staff (one of whom has bought a whole case... I'm not naming names!). That dram is of course the Dancey Man from Adelphi!
We've stocked up heavily on this incredible blend, and we're even celebrating the occasion with an extra special 20% discount instead of the usual 10%! Grab yourselves a bargain bottle or two for the holidays, and remember - that great whisky doesn't need to cost the earth.
Want my initial opinion of this dram? Check out last year's video below (and note that the discount is now higher). And stay tuned for December's drams - two that I've never had before.
The Versus Results
The Adelphi Private Stock was knocked out in the first round by the eventual silver medal winner - Smokehead Sherry Bomb.
Group Tasting Notes
These tasting notes were collected from the participants of the "Indy Vs Indy" tasting event. Mellow, light, approachable smoke. Sweet with spiced apple pie with a thick crust.
