Scotch Whisky reviews

I got a bottle of this as a gift and wow, I forgot just how good it is. Yes, it is a common, mass-market blend bottled at 40%, added colouring, etc., but who cares about any of that? Nose: hints of…

This expression of Ben Nevis was aged by Murray McDavid in their dunnage warehouses at the now silent Coleburn Distillery. It was initially aged in a bourbon hogshead before spending 3 and a half years…
