Thanks to /u/shane_il for pouring me a dram of this whisky

Final home stretch folks. Then you won’t have to hear about how I did a regular dram a day in December, which was a mystery dram, which I only got around to now because I’m tired and having trouble just keeping up with life.

Alright, so we’ve been here before. It’s smoky, so there’s peat. Or I have a sample of something weird. But I’m guessing I don’t.

Starts with brine. I think Laphroaig. Goes more grassfire and smoked…
