Jim has tasted this dram on many an occasion, it is not readily available in your local supermarket but you can get it on-line and at your specialist Whisky shop and the last bottle Jim bought, which was only a couple of weeks ago, was from The Good Spirits Co in Bath Street, Glasgow.
We shall be doing a full tasting of this dram soon, but Jim has found it to be a fabulously peaty/smoky dram with loads of sweet citrus, vanilla and heathery notes, do go out and find a bottle you will not be disappointed.
