Glen Moray 25, 1987, Port Cask Finish, 43%

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
