Master of Malt’s Dramcrackers
Last week I received a package from Master of Malt with their dramcrackers inside. Pretty cool, right? I’m not sure what to do with it though. Generally, when shops or bottlers send me booze they want a review of it … Continue reading

Pyrat Rum, XO Reserve, 40%

The last in these four rum reviews. I don’t know why I put them in this order, but this one as a last one seems right, since it’s the youngest. Young spirits tend to have a lot of impact, although … Continue reading
