BattleScotch! Glenfarclas with Dan & Bowick
Well, you knew this was going to happen, of course. It’s not a brand sampler without a BattleScotch to tell you which is worth your time or money. Always a […]
Glenfarclas 12y with Dan & Bowick
Alright, the last of the Glenfarclii, the 12y. We can jump right to the notes, here’s what we thought: nose Dan – old banana, salty baked bread, fresh fudge […]
