Exp. #1 – Cask Experiment (55,6%, SMWS 2023)
Category Archive: * Other spirits
Although our main focus is definitely on Scotch whisky, American and Irish whiskey, Japanese and world whisky, we appreciate other spirits as well. Occasionally we will review armagnac, gin, mezcal or other spirits, especially if they’re related to whisky in some way.
Rum and cognac are now such important malternatives that they have their own category on this website.
