Day of the Dead Distilleries
Please join San Diego Scotch Club in a "celebration of life" for six distilleries now passed on to the big warehouse in the sky.

We'll try a few of their base expressions, a few sold out rarities, and even a few private bottlings. The distillery profile is peated but not…
