An easy going blog for easy going malts
At the end of the first week we end with a Royal Brackla single cask which is the first batch that Boutique-y have bottled. There is an official 12 year old from Diageo which I thought I had tried but it seems not. I think I was getting confused with another Royal distillery. Royal Lochnagar. […]
