Willett, Family Estate Bottled Single Barrel Rye, cask 124, 58.7%

Posted on 10 February 2017 by

I have no idea why exactly, but I really love Willett. They used to release heaps of old rye whiskies, but those stocks seem to have depleted. Since a couple of years they’ve been distilling their own whiskey. Before that … Continue reading →

Images of Bartstown, 53.2% – Malts of Scotland

Posted on 3 November 2015 by
