To start with, my buddy and I have a holiday tradition of sharing the Whisky Exchange’s holiday blend. I get the feeling we will find excuses for plenty of other bottles as well though - nothing beats a dram to warm you up on a cool fall night. Let us know how the advent calendar works out for you.

Great review! Personally I found Scorch to be a disaster - a bland, uninteresting dram with less depth and complexity than Uigeadail at two or three times the price. Honestly it put me off special edition Ardbeg for the time being. It doesn’t sound like Harpy’s Tale would be the one to change my mind either. Perhaps it’s just as well I haven’t seen it available where I live.
