Lagavulin 16, 43%, White Horse edition
While the Lagavulin 16 is as mainstream a single malt as it gets, apart from maybe Glenfiddich 12, it is subject to discussion. Mostly because according to whisky geeks like myself there has been a steady decline in quality over … Continue reading
My favorite whiskies of 2014
I started doing my end-of-year lists yesterday with the music one. I love doing that since it makes me reconsider what I’m listening to for a large part of every day, and everybody else does their lists first so I get … Continue reading
