Hi Craig, If you are in Glasgow, the Glengoyne Distillery is about 30min north of the city itself (in Killearn).
>From my previous post, you can assume I'm rather fond of the 18yo Glengoyne :) . I think they also have a 10 or 12yo, but whichever it is, it is nowhere near as good as the 18yo. These is my opinions, just sayin' rip On Sat, Jan 3, 2015 at 4:39 PM, Craig J. Ries <[email protected]> wrote: > On 1/3/2015 9:18 AM, Raymond Feist wrote: > >> >> VAT will do that.
