Tasting Diageo's Special Releases Collection 2021: Legends Untold

We recently had the opportunity to taste Diageo's 2021 Special Releases Collection. The Special Releases are an annual collection where Diageo showcase their best whiskies. This year's theme is "Legends Untold". The theme is based on Scotland's ancient fables. In these stories, mythical beasts protect the heartlands of Scotland.
