Best in Blog: ₤20,000 Going Once, Going Twice . . .
Two big rare whisky auctions are coming up, one next week and another the week after. The first is at McTears, and the second at Christie’s. It will be interesting to watch what gets sold and for how much. Details below.
Tasting Notes From Bloggers We Trust:
- Whisky for Everyone has three great whiskies on tap today – the new Benromach 10, a Mortlach 16 from Diageo’s Flora and Fauna range, and Cragganmore 12 – one of the best whisky deals you can get, in my opinion, in terms of price to quality.
