During the Blind Tasting Competition, every once in a while it just clicks. Yesterday was such a day, and it led to a maximum score of 100 points. From the first sniff out of the sample bottle, I was convinced I knew what I was nosing and tasting.
The Longmorn 2005 15 Years from North Star Spirits may just be the mother of all sherry bombs. It comes at a high price but might actually be worth it.
So here's a lesson I already knew about, but apparently had to learn again: when participating in the Blind Tasting Competition, never ever change your entry at the last moment.
Quite a day yesterday. First a shoot for a Dutch television program, and it was also the first day of the Blind Tasting Competition. Spoiler alert: I did not do well...
Everyone at the top of the leaderboard is sort of quietly chugging along, picking up a few points left and right. I'm kind of waiting for someone to explode and taking a more commanding lead.
