FINAL Blind Tasting: Bunnahabhain 12 Cask Strength, Glen Scotia 15, Deanston 12, Lagg Corriecravie

It's that time of year ... MALT Madness. 20 whiskies, 4 tasting flights, leading up to the Final Four flight to determine 1 winner.

I ranked the top 19 whisky samples from the Drinks By the Dram 2024 Advent Calendar (by age, ABV, and price) and separated them into 4 groups (each with a different mascot). I took the remaining 6 and put them in a play-in flight to determine the 20th whisky:    • BONUS Tasting: Singleton 12, Wemyss Spice ...
