Another 2 Old Pulteneys, this time the Distillery Only bottlings from 2022
And by ‘the’ distillery only bottlings, I mean the two casks that were available at the end of October 2022. A bourbon cask one, and a sherry cask one, both at rocket fuel like ABVs. When I was there with … Continue reading

Kornog 2006-2022, Barrel 12107, 50.9% – Berry Bros. & Rudd
