Glenmorangie has always been one of my preferred distilleries, and that’s for one reason; consistency. I know, part of the fun of buying/tasting whisky is batch variations. It’s fun to watch the Aberl…

This is my first Arran. I haven’t sampled much from this distillery, but right now I find myself starting with the 100 Proof. I like a bit of kick, so I thought a healthy 57% abv. may be right up my…
