Aron Silverman, the society’s ambassador, travels around the country bringing the society’s unique bottles to those interested in furthering their palate […]
During a visit to a local liquor mart, I came across a bottle of 10-year-old whisky for $30. While the price caught my eye, I noticed that the Tamdhu was a whisky that I had not tasted. So, not one to pass up a bargain especially for a […]
