Posted on 2 July 2019 by

I snickered at the name ‘Duckhammers’. It seems like a very inefficient hunting tool. Anyway, I got a sample of this in the mail a little while ago with the request to review it soonish. Unfortunately, it got ridiculously hot … Continue reading →

Springbank 23, 1995-2018, 48% – WhiskyNerds

Posted on 26 November 2018 by
