Tasted as Day 2 of The Saratoga Whiskey Club Advent Calendar 2023. Every day is a new adventure with a blind tasting, where we each try to guess the country of origin, the type and age of the whisk(e)y, the ABV, and the type of barrel/cask used for maturation, followed by a reveal at 9PM. This whisky is a single-barrel store pick from Gordon's (Waltham, MA). Photo courtesy of Charles Grabitzky (First Fill Spirits, Saratoga Springs NY).
