Tasted this as Day 17 of The Saratoga Whiskey Club Advent Calendar 2021. 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 whiskey is a distillery-exclusive bottling, picked up by Charles Grabitzky at the distillery. Photo courtesy of Charles Grabitzky.
