I will miss this smoky caramel rascal of a whisky from mighty little Edradour Distillery’s peated Ballechin line. Such a good dram. Sláinte! To say I’m looking forward to this is an understatement. Cask strength MGP rye aged 14 years? And for half the 💸 those specs were going for just a handful of years ago? Pffft! I’m there! A toast to International Women’s Day, with my favorite international bar hopping woman. Cheers!
