Sincere thanks to JJY, JH, and Single Cask Nation for the sample. Roughly seven years ago, as a new whisky blogger, I was asked to join a Whisky Roundtable of other bloggers.

Drifting Away From Whisky?
Am I? Yeah. Me? Yeah, you. Away from whisky? Yes. Nooooo. Really? Never. Never. Not even just a little? Well, yeah, okay, a little. Maybe a little more than a little.

*A sincere thanks to JH, JJY, and SK at Single Cask Nation for the sample. The Pinot Noir grape, the one responsible for that little wine making region in France called Burgundy, is one of the oldest offspring of Vitis vinifera, and one of the oldest varieties of grapevines to be cultivated by man. There is some … Continue reading Single Cask Nation 1999 Arran 12 Year Old Pinot Noir Cask Finish – Review
Single Cask Nation 2007 Kilchoman 4 Year Old – Review
