On recommendation of @westg on the forum, I had to get the Balvenie Caribbean Cask. And, since my old Drambuie bottle ran out, I'd thought I would replace it. Why did they upgrade the traditional medicinal bottle?

 

[shlomo]

Two of my favorite distilleries. Mmmm mmmm

[Lant63]

A friend asked me if I needed anything from duty free. Told him I liked Balvenie. This was a surprise. Anyone try it?
