Whisky Advent Calendar 2022 - Dram reviews

Those great people at @DrinksByTheDram sent me an Advent Calendar for the run up to Christmas! For the whisky fans amongst us this makes much more sense than a chocolate one!


Now the idea with an Advent Calendar is that you open 1 door each day from the 1st December through to Christmas Eve... But please enjoy your whisky responsibly! Sometimes it may not possible to open a dram each day, you could share with mates or save a couple to enjoy at the weekend?

Loch Lomond Distillery Edition One

One of my favourite distilleries have just launched their first Distillery Edition, oooh you might say - a new distillery? Well no this is an old one, but due to their very industrial nature they don't have a Visitor's Centre.


So how do you get a Distillery Edition? Well it's only available on their website.
