Monday. Everything is miserable. The world is imploding and the economy is like a turtle in a remote control car. I mean, it’s there, we can see it, but that turtle doesn’t have a clue what’s going on.
Sorry, I digress.

The news is out! Joining our single cask spiced rum is a Ruadh Mhor distilled 56 days after we opened. Glenturret stopped making this heavily peated malt this year so our little sherried octave is a slice of history.
This is a preorder for 27th Nov.

TODAY!!
