Speyside distillery Balvenie makes one of the best affordable single malt scotches with their 12-Year expression, so you can bet their latest and most expensive expression will be noteworthy. This Forty 40 Years Old scotch is aged in bourbon and sherry casks, and only 150 bottles will be produced and released early next year. Besides […]
