The 42nd Tweet Tasting of the Whisky Wire was an great one. Whisky Speller was thrilled to be invited to join the second event Steve hosted together with Balcones Distillery; the Head Distillers Private Barrel Tour.
Last year we participated in the other Twitter Tasting he organised for them for the 5th anniversary, and that was a great line up so were looking forward to this years surprises.
We were not disappointed!
