This week we crack into an 11 year old whisky originating from the Glentauchers Distillery in Speyside, bottled by Ooshkie, the same Indie Bottling team behind The Whisky Baron brand. We’ve loved what we tasted from them in the past, but how will this single cask, cask strength, 57.5% ABV whisky matured in first fill ex-boubon casks compare? We also ask the question… What’s an NFT?
