Notes: So, I am back after an almost 2-year hiatus. I bought a Whisky Advent Calendar from Master of Malt's Drinks by the Dram line. I am pretty pedestrian in my single-malt choices (Glenmorangie, Balvenie, Dalwhinnie), so I decided to spend this holiday season trying new whiskies (and new wines, but I will post those after Christmas). The advent calendar was pricey, but definitely cheaper than trying 25 whiskies at my local pub.
I love The Balvenie. It was one of my go-to Poker drinks. I have never gotten my mitts on any of their specialty bottlings. This whisky is scrumptious. It's like drinking a plum pudding. Spicy and fruity and warm as summer.
