FREE MYSTERY DRAM!!!

So that's the best modern Clynelish, followed by the new very special Harris, then a wonderful 1962 Glenlivet. We then dip into an old Tamdhu, that you will have overlooked at your peril, after which we relax with one of the best bourbon Mortlach's in existence. All of this before that Oban, and then pure Witchcraft. The next five drams are all showstoppers, but you know that right? Still not tempted, then how about a very special free mystery dram from anywhere in the ECW collection, without labelling or packaging let's just see what we really think!!

Anyway we really hope you can join us, but please don't delay as its only 3 weeks away and we have to get the drams out to you pronto (15,20, 30 even 50ml, you choose).

To join us either contact East Coast Whisky on Instagram, through here, via dram@eastcoastwhisky, or on WhatsApp.
