Old Pulteney 12-year-old vs Aberfeldy 12-year-old

Glenfarclas 15-year-old vs GlenDronach 15-year-old

In December of last year (2021), I opened up my first whisky advent calendar and was greeted with a dram of Aerolite Lyndsay. More than a pleasant memory, I ended up capturing this experience with my very first words on Two Drams a Day. Since then, I have published a total of 80 write-ups! Well, […]
