#tinytipplebottlekill Finally got the fabulous 10 Year Old Single Grain release from @WhiskeyMerchant@OConnellWhiskey . Glad that there are more age statement grain whiskies being released! Available now on https://t.co/5OrRDStPEG

Happy Monday and thankfully January is over. Our latest two releases get the once over from Ireland’s grumpiest whiskey bloggers @malt_official. Have a read with your morning coffee (dram optional 😉) #drinkaware
