I’m still an amateur when it comes to Japanese whiskies, but I recently had the chance to try something quite rare and lovely. The 2013 release of the Hakushu Sherry Cask is a limited release, and I…

I recently began a discussion concerning sherried whiskies. As always, my fellow connosr members were very helpful, and replied with no shortage of wonderful suggestions and ideas. Among the many dist…
