We had to wait for it for a very long time, but at last there is a new Amazing Cask from Malts of Scotland. Remember the Bowmore 1995 and Highland Park 1986? Those were great. This new release has the…

There are two versions of the Glenury Royal 36 Year Old, one from 1968 (which I will try today) and one from 1970 (of which I cannot seem to find a sample). We can honestly say this is liquid history,…
