This Port Charlotte was also bottled for the Islay Whisky Dinner 2012 gebotteld by Malts of Scotland. It would seem there are quite a few casks of this Ileach maturing in the Paderborn warehouses. This…

This Italian Wilson & Morgan bottled its 8th Glenrothes this year, a 14 Year Old that was finished on sweet Marsala wine casks from Sicily. Marsala is a fortified wine, not unlike port, Madeira or sherry…
