Lady Of The Glen Presents A Fun Tour Around 90’s Speyside From Independent Reviewer Whisky Rover
In the past six months, we have released seven casks and only one person, me, has tried them all! That was until a savvy blogger managed to get his hands on samples from each cask!

All the releases were uniquely numbered and presented in the Lady of the Glen glass etched bottles, so if you managed to snag a bottle you’ll be excited to know that they are almost completely unavailable, there is one bottle of Miltonduff left on Ladyoftheglen.com and I have heard Hard to Find Whisky, Luvians in Fife and Jeffrey Street in Edinburgh have a few bottles of the other releases remaining.
There you have it a solid performance from a generation of casks born in the era of Brit-Pop, New Labour and the same decade the Scotland was in the World Cup and won the five nations!
