Ledaig 10 year old Whisky
A friend brought me a mini of the Ledaig 10 year old single malt Scotch whisky from London. During 2019, at one of the whisky festivals, I tasted an older Ledaig whisky for the first time. So the gift was very timely.
Chamarel Rum Distillery in Mauritius
Situated on the lush green hills on the South Western side of Mauritius is the Chamarel area.
