Secret Speyside 17, 2005-2023, First Fill Oloroso Sherry Butt, 58.1% – Signatory Vintage
According to everyone on the internet, this is a Macallan. The little (m) on the label also suggests that, since there’s not too many distilleries with an M out there. Macallan, Macduff, Mannochmore, Miltonduff and Mortlach. Of course, four of … Continue reading
