I’d like to thank Highwood Distillers for sending these bottles to the Toronto Whisky Society.

For some people, Highwood Distillers will sound familiar, as I’ve reviewed some of their whiskies before. And if you’ve noticed, I haven’t been singing their praises. However I don’t think that’s their point.
