Scotch Whisky reviews

Since I did some Macallans yesterday, and a BenRiach earlier today, I thought I'd search out some more Speysiders and found a few Benromachs. I reviewed the standard 10 year old before (which I have a…

Yesterday I reviewed a couple of Macallans, so I thought I'd stick with the Speyside malt theme. This one is a NAS BenRiach, bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company. As the distillery now does their…
