Mamont Tasting Notes
I’m a sucker for quirky bottles. I’ve always found them to be eye-catching and I’ll head straight for them if I ever see any on a shelf.

The Nolet Distillery in Schiedam, Holland has been producing quality spirits for ten generations. ‘The who?’ I bet your asking.

Boru is a name that many have probably ever heard of, myself included, until recently when Twitter threw up a couple of tweets. Ever the enthusiast, I asked to learn more – and here we go. Boru is a premium vodka inspiredContinue reading “Boru Tasting Notes”
