Two single casks from seldom seen Glen Elgin distillery, will these IB releases showcase that classic Speyside style we're looking for?

We're always interested in a new distilleries' first public release, so off to GlenWyvis to see how it stacks up against the competition.

Independently bottled Ardbeg's are hard to come by, so we're excited to see Dramfool releasing their first cask from the cult distillery. We'll compare this to an older limited release from 2012.

We take a look at a new independent bottler, Brave New Spirits, and their Voodoo brand bottles. These are undisclosed distillery, small batch releases usually in interesting cask types.
