The FEW Spirits Bottle-share

Yesterday I printed the labels. Tonight I filled the samples. At least most of them, on both accounts. I used a printer I didn’t know and didn’t want to ruin labels so I printed page one only. After checking I … Continue reading

Highland Park, Batch 1, 44.7% – That Boutique-y Whisky Company

Tormore, Batch 1, 50% – That Boutique-y Whisky Company

Why look at that! I found more tasting  notes to a TBWC bottling that I had completely forgotten about. Tormore is also one of the distilleries I keep forgetting about, since who drinks much Tormore, right? Anyway, A TBWC release … Continue reading
