Stacks – Redbreast 15 Years
I really enjoy Redbreast whiskies. So, I was pleased to have the opportunity to review the 15 Year Old here on the blog. Of course, I also tried it in a short drink.

Racing Like A Pro – Plantation PXXO
Usually I keep good track of the drinks I want to write about. Yet, this one slipped through my net, because I accidentally marked it as already published. Nevertheless, this Sazerac variation uses an interesting PX cask rum as well as a “tailored” bitter blend.
