What a great set of drams. Everyone a belter. Value for money for me is the 12 year sherry cask. I think the 15 year old is a standout, come on Benromach, 46% pleeease. Massive thanks to @TheWhiskyWire @Benromach loving everything that they are releasing, #BenromachWhisky

Before we move onto our next dram, it might be worth having a wee palate cleanse. @DrinkHIP #DrinkHIP #Whisky #Rum #BePartOfTheDramfotainment
