English Whisky 9-year-old vs Staoisha 9-year-old

Wolfburn No. 204 vs Wolfburn Morven

Welcome back to another fine pairing of two single malts! Today I am tasting a scotch from a pretty new distillery, which has been quickly establishing itself among whisky connoisseurs.

Hello, friends and new followers, and welcome back to another side-by-side tasting of two single malts!
