Nice catch on that clue, I'm very impressed. And good call on the distillery. When I saw the 'present' clue, and the waxy clynelish discussion, I was thinking "surely they wouldn't throw a brora in, especially this far out from Christmas...". And I was right 😅 Enjoy it while you can, and stock up if you feel so inclined - Spice Tree was discontinued this year
Since youtube comment text isn't showing in the editor for me, and it's a long story (for a YT comment,) I'm going to copy some text on that Cragganmore from the Peated Perfection blog: "The story goes that back in 2006 with a severe drought impacting the west coast of Scotland, production at Talisker on the Isle of Skye was under threat. So for a short experimental period of only a couple of months some of the medium-peated malted barley that would normally end up at Talisker was also sent over to Cragganmore!"
