International whisky fest Leiden, Holland
I was at the festival last Friday. It was opening night and I must say it was a success. 40 Euro's to get in and with the entrance tasting glass, a friend and myself walked around the different stalls...
 
Solid Whiskey and Glassware
What is a good solid whiskey under say 70USD. Not asking for anything out of the ordinary/spectacular. Just something that I wouldn't be ashamed to put on the table, something that tastes like good...
