The first was all Islays, results are posted online on Lothian Life magazine's website - interesting reading. The second tasting was not nearly so engaging, all highlands. Glengoyne 10yo doing well with Marks & Spencer's Inverey.
This time for Speyside I've used less supermarket offerings and another official release. As always I can post these out P&P free within UK. Overseas at cost. The results should again be posted on the magazine's site. Further info here or phone me, Mark on 0131 556 5864
