BTC sample 9 – Caperdonich 37, 51.4%
Finding out I had been sipping a Caperdonich made me scratch my head a little bit. I could have been more wrong, but not by much (I guessed Speyside correctly). This now defunct and demolished distillery has produced some of … Continue reading

BTC sample 8 – GlenDronach 22, 55.1%

BTC: Sample 8 (Longmorn 16, 60%)
A nice sherry cask coming up again! Quite recognizable by the color in this case, which of course influences what you’re tasting. Hoping to get more points this time than a few other times (again) to get at least a … Continue reading
