Glentauchers 2008-2021, Sherry cask, 52.3% – Michiel Wigman ‘They Inspired III’
Another second for Michiel Wigman, this time a Glentauchers. The previous one was a younger port cask, and this time it has a few more years, and a different maturation. Personally, I accept that there are tremendous Port casks available … Continue reading
