Utvalget av whisky tilgjengelig for kjøp i Norge vokser stadig.

Invergordon 2006 8 YO Svenska Eldvatten, 55,5 % Today I write about a single grain whisky. I want you to know that I am not a big fan of grain whiskies. I therefore recommend you to take notice of my tasting notes rather than the score. If my husband had written this review, I guess […]...
