New Wild Scotsman Single Cask 22yr for Spring
by Jeffrey Topping
hand signed labels
Spring is almost here and its time to release a new dram for the occasion. I have been busy getting labels made and signed for a Single Cask, Single Malt, bottled at cask streangth 49% alc./vol from our friends at the Bunnahabhain Distillery located on the Isle of Islay. If you are a fan of this wonderful distillery than this bottling should be a treat as it has been aged for 22 years to reach perfection or at least to my perfection.
Labels ready to sign
Distribution will be limited, however, keep your eyes open in KY, IN, and IL for this one off expression in late May or early June.
Happy New Year 2013
Happy New Year 2013

May you have,
Glasses for the Whisky
And a roof for the stillhouse,
And Scotch bedside the fire
Laughter to cheer you
And those cigars you love near you,
And all that your heart may desire
