Description

Dramfool, located in Linlithgow, Scotland, was founded by Bruce Farquhar in 2015. His passion for whisky has taken him across the globe, spreading the word of Dramfool. He has set high standards for Dramfool and won't offer a bottling for sale until it meets these standards. The motto that Bruce has used from day one is 'I only bottle whisky that I like'. This particular release, Avian Gull, is the third release from Dramfool, a bourbon cask matured Single Islay Malt, distilled in June 2008 and bottled in February 2017 at 8 years old.

Nose
The mossy forest floor exhales its peaty, woody breath while the smoke and crackle of a distant bonfire meets the bark and resin of the trees around us. The breeze also brings in the scent of brine and tarred ropes of a harbour while in a country garden somewhere near, lavender is growing. A cloud of icing sugar dusting on cakes puffs up, but that old tube of Germolene in the first aid kit has been leaking. Diluted, there's a walk on the wild side, passing by green saplings amid older, woody trees. While the water has mostly washed away the smoke, there's also the unmistakeable note of marijuana buds and cannabis resin. Peat and brine still linger, with the heat and pine of a sauna, a touch of iodine, coal-tar soap, wax and cake icing.
Palate
The spritz of sea spray and seaweed is in the air. Warming ourselves at the varnished pine table a little too close to the peaty fire, the air is hot and dry. Some afternoon tea might be in order – cream cakes. Diluted, this is a warming hug in a glass. There's the brine and seaweed of the ocean, but that's rounded off by a herbal peatiness and a sweet creaminess. There's a rich, velvety maltiness.
Finish
Not explicitly detailed as a separate finish section in the provided tasting notes, but the palate description implies a lingering experience.
