After a short focus on Campbeltown, this RR shines a light on how whisky, in some ways, is coming back to us.

The next Recycled Review (we hope!) will follow the week after this!

As usual here's the link to the spreadsheet with all the Recycled Scores to date:

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XFlvELwhcoR2ca__jmMY6CcvJLW4okccnX2yJyUo3LM/edit?usp=sharing

It includes links to "jump" straight to the point in the video where that whisky is covered.
