Whitlaw 10, 2013-2023, Oloroso Sherry Cask 1789, 47.5% – Càrn Mòr

Unnamed Orkney 16, 2006-2022, Refill Butt DRU17/A65#4, 46% – The Ultimate
It’s been a while since I tried anything by The Ultimate. Generally I don’t really buy into the brand since I often find the whisky a little bit lackluster. Often bottled too young, under ten years old. That’s not necessarily … Continue reading
