While I am generally the king of empty promises, I did review 19 of the 20 whiskies I’d listed among the probables for May. The 20th, which may not even be whisky, the “Mystery Spirit” from Florin (American ambassador to Liechtenstein) will be reviewed this month, in another simul-review with Michael K. of Diving for Pearls. Here are the rest of the candidates for June. Once again these are heavy on the sample bottles:
