Description

In recent years Supermarkets have been buying up parcels of whisky from some well and lesser established Distilleries. And the results have been mixed. Some being highly lauded and winning International Whisky Awards. On the whole most have been very drinkable and great value for money. Bottled for the Lidl Supermarket chain from an undisclosed Islay distillery. Ben Bracken 43% ABV / 70cl.
