Compass Box Menagerie, 46%
It’s been ages since I last tried a Compass Box whisky. Or at least, since I last reviewed one. There was the Transistor, which I did with Punk IPA next to it in February, but before that it was 2018....

Deanston 10, 2012-2023, 2nd Fill Oloroso Hogshead, 51% – WTF Utrecht
