@LeeEvolved "Then I realized I was sniffing the wrong side of the glass..." 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I recently started collecting sampling notes from the dry glass based on your fine reviews, sir. The first 3-4 I tried all I could come up with was the smell of dry glass. Then I realized I was sniffing the wrong side....🤣 Great review, as usual, Davie. Always a joy to read. Cheers.
Nice review! You had me at Mac n' Cheese :)
Well said!
These are some of the coolest tasting notes I've read on this scotch!
