The Label – Andrew had the immense privilege to spend a day at this distillery with bonafide LEGEND of the industry, Mr. Ronnie “red socks” Cox. While he has not been involved with this bottling, it’s our nod of respect to a man who absolutely inspired us early in our whisky journeys, and we’ll forever associate him with this distillery.
