Tasted at Saratoga Whiskey Club Tasting #98 - What's New at First Fill February 2022. This is a blended malt, comprised of single malts from undisclosed Islay and Speyside distilleries, matured in ex-bourbon barrels, and bottled by the independent bottler Blackadder. I realize that Puff Adder is a rare, small batch bottling, rated Outstanding, and scored 92 points in the Whisky Advocate 2020 Summer Guide. However, I am not a fan.
