Tomatin 2007-2016, 9yo, Rum Cask, 46%
In the most recent edition of our club’s magazine ‘De Kiln’ we published a piece written by Scott Adamson of Tomatin distillery. We asked him what their views on ‘weird’ cask usage is, and the finishing of whisky in non-traditional … Continue reading
Clynelish 1995-2014, 19yo, 52.7% – Whisky-Fässle
