Okay---so we all know that good single malts are now even made outside Scotland. India (Amrut), France (Brenne----although does that one count as French when Alison lives in the US? ), Japan ( go ahead----choose any between Suntory or Nikka or Hanyu or Karuizawa). And even Tasmania. Yes ...Sullivan's Cove won the best whisky award some time back....but honestly....this is by far better. And unlike Sullivan's French casks, this one is actually attainable. it's pricy, but you're probably paying a bucket load to the transportation logistics, and less on marketing ( think those fancy Viking stands from Highland Park!).
