On part 2 of the conclusion of my Cream of the Barley archaeology set of post, I mentioned that I have also sent samples of both new and old blends to the one and only Mr Richard Paterson, Whyte&Mackay’s master blender, and that due to a very busy backlog, he was not able to send us his take on the whiskies.
It so happens, that Richard decided to give a very happy starting to my weekend and sent me view twitter a link to a video he recorded where he compares both Cream of the Barleys.
Many thanks to Richard for this great video which gives a great completion to this set of posts.
Here is Ricahard’s video:
