| So, who has a whisky question for me this week?
Another week, another chance to ask me any questions you may have about whisky… As always, it’s good to see and hear what people are saying about whisky but if you want to ask me what the value of a bottle is or what it’s worth (two very different things!) then you’re better asking the like of McTears than me. |
