Cask 11's get along best with casks 2, 5, 9, and Italians L. You are Cask 12 Your defining period was childhood, when a bird dropped you off in the middle of the ocean. Life has been filled with stumbling blocks, most of which have come from your own failure to recognize the limitations of yourself and your dress So, WHICH CASK ARE YOU?
