Shining bright in my kitchen this week. Enjoying this drop - well worth the punt
The chunky stopper that comes between me and some @bladnochwhisky 10yo. Love the details that have gone into every part of the packaging as well as the whisky itself
Have been really enjoying this bottle since Spring finally sprung. Good malt to go with the season. Fantastic bold @bladnochwhisky bottle and branding too. Am a bit in love.
