More drindlefurt from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. My Carlisle order arrived last week, so wanted to crack this White first. It just came off the boat & seemed a bit beat down but will undoubtedly get better.
Interesting that Mike has some Stockinger brls. Franz Stockinger is a barrel maker on the Northern border of Austria and is regarded as the maker of the Rolls-Royce of barrels.
