Glen Garioch 52 Years (Decadent Drinks)
Heatwave mode is on (record-breaking temperatures up to 38°C in Belgium this week). We may have to focus on singular reviews for a while, just to keep things going.Behold the oldest whisky ever bottled from Glen Garioch distillery.

And last but not least: an ancient sherry cask unlike those of today.
