"What?! Just a couple of days ago this guy whined about how terrible his visit to Edradour was and now he's posting a review of a whisky from that distillery? I'm not sure what to make of this."
Bacardi's announcement of brand new, natural colored single malts with age statements was received with a lot of excitement. But don't celebrate just yet...
