Tasted as Day 17 of The Saratoga Whiskey Club Advent Calendar 2022. 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, and the ABV, followed by a reveal at 9PM. This single-barrel store pick is from Westport Whiskey and Wine in Louisville, KY. Photo courtesy of Charles Grabitzky.
