GlenAllachie 10 Cask Strength Batch 9 (2023) Scotch Review. How does this batch compare to our favourites? The Whisky Rant Podcast Ep 64.

News from Whisky Advocate Magazine shocked the whisky world when independent bottler Gordon and MacPhail announced they will "halt new cask fillings starting in 2024 to focus on its own distilleries, Benromach and The Cairn.

Is this the beginning of the end of the Independent Bottler? Special guest James Bornn joins the Whisky Rant Podcast Ep 63.
