Strathmill 1976 35 Year Old Bourbon Cask Dewar Rattray

Strathmill 26 Year Old 1988 Valinch & Mallet

In their ‘Lost Drams’ series, the Italian Valinch & Mallet released this Strathmill 1988 a few years back. At cask strength, as they are wont to do.

So it does not come as a surprise that is has already been three years since I last tried this Speysider. But look, today we’ll open up a 25 Year Old from Signatory Vinrtage, bottled in their Cask...
