Soba45

Single Grain — South Island, New Zealand

Reviewed March 2, 2018 (edited March 3, 2018)
4.0
4.0 out of 5 stars
I think I was 30 drams or so in at this stage but this one still stood out. It's 40% brother was average but this was a very nice dram. Solid 4

    Yes there is definitely something about tasting a bit of history that changes the experience. I've been lucky to have a few this last week or two. Imperial, Willowbank, St. Madeline, Littlemill, Calledonian...been a good run :-)

    @Soba45 I remember having this a year or two ago. Personally I always feel when having these closed and ghosted distilleries, I don’t really care how good or bad it is, but just the thought of having a piece of history is memeorable

    I remember trying this one a couple of years ago, courtesy of Mr @PBMichiganWolverine. Highly potent with some serious red wine cask notes. Incredible.
