In this episode of the Spirits Blind Tasting podcast, I'm doing a blind tasting of the Braunstein Danica Single Malt Whisky Batch 2014-1 and Westland American Single Malt Whisky, La Maison Du Whisky 60th Anniversary Edition. Feel free to follow along with a dram of any of these or any other spirit you enjoy as I try to uncover the aromas and flavors of these 2 spirits.
