La Gloria Cubana Regional Release Spain Serie D No.5 - Teeling 24-Year-Old Single Malt

By Ken Gargett.

Cheers Ken. Thanks Steve.

I just had a mate bring me a box of the D5 back from Dubai.That was a nice surprise . They do look amazing. Red silky wrappers.

The 24,  not sure if that was what the Fox boys gave as to sample last November amongst a few others  in Cuba. I enjoy the 12 and 15 and I am actually fond of most Irish single malt. Pretty sure the 24 will sting us Aus boys around 500 notes per bottle  .
