Having a beer, whisky next, can someone pick a letter of the alphabet please? I’d ask the wife but for fear of the letter X or Z been given. Don’t choose Q, W, X, Z or any other letter that I can think I don’t have a whisky for, thank you 🙏😆

Observation that I think is interesting (never noticed before on Amazon). Sponsored placement & available on the interest free payment plan. Are The Macallan trying to reach UK customers or is there a deeper ‘issue’ behind this?

It was a battle between the Côte Rotie Finish and the 15 Year Old, but surprisingly I prefer the 15 over the Peated Port, I mean Red Wine finish. Massive thanks Steve @thewhiskywire.bsky.social & #BenromachWhisky for allowing me to take part.

This multi-award-winning release which was matured in first-fill Sherry and Bourbon casks, is said to deliver a more nuanced Sherry influence of the Benromach signature style of fruit, creamy malt and elegant smokiness. #BenromachWhisky #Scotch #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment

Benromach Aged 15 Years, is the distillery’s most awarded whisky. Often referred to as their "classic" single malt, it’s a perfect dance between the Sherry and Bourbon cask influences and the subtle smoke characteristics. #BenromachWhisky #Scotch #Whisky #BePartOfTheDramfotainment
