The King of the Hill 2.0 tournament kicks off with two heavyweight battles from opposite sides of the whisky world!

🥃 In the bourbon corner:
Eagle Rare 10 faces off against Russell’s Reserve 10 in a showdown of two iconic 10-year-olds. Same age, same proof — totally different styles. Which one takes the hill?

🥃 Then in the world of Scotch:
It’s elegance vs intensity as Glenkinchie 12 (Lowland classic) goes up against Glen Scotia Victoriana (Campbeltown cask strength beast).
Can subtlety win over strength?

We taste blind, debate hard, and crown a winner. One bottle moves on. The other falls. Let the KOTH madness begin.
