Strathmill 26 Year Old 1994 Druma Mor

A Strathmill of more than a quarter century old, bottled by the Belgian Druma Mor… sounds interesting. Strangely enough only 36 bottles were released, which shows it was a split cask.

So it does not come as a surprise that is has already been three years since I last tried this Speysider. But look, today we’ll open up a 25 Year Old from Signatory Vinrtage, bottled in their Cask...
