Some Old School favourites back this week
Equipo Navazos La Bota 88 De Malt Whisky - A Scottish Malt aged in dry Oloroso Sherry in Jerez, Spain. A fragrant and soft nose leads way to a rich, fruity palate married with a subtle touch of peat. Presumed 12 years old, bottled at 46% abv, a must try for this cold and windy weekend
Kilchoman PX Sherry Cask - Hailing from the Isle of Islay, Scotland, comes a truely hearty Single Malt. Overwhelming notes of ocean spray, sweet christmas cake, and fiery peat, come together to wrap you in a blanket of ear-warming comfort. Boasting 50% abv, it’s sure to tickle your tongue and leave you wanting more
Finally but definitely not least, making a triumphant return, Dainton Brewing’s Blood Orange Juicy IPA. Definitely a fan favourite makes it’s way back to our fridges waiting to be paired with your favourite whisky
