Okay guys and gals, I’m going to call out something we all do. We all have those moments. You’re at a bar. Someone else is paying for the bar tab. Maybe you’re out with work. Maybe you’re out with your parents. Maybe you’re out with a specific friend. None the less, they have money and that little, evil imp shows up on your shoulder. The… Continue reading Lagavulin 16
It’s kinda hard being a Canadian at times here on /r/worldwhisky. For one, I pay almost as much as Australians for whiskey, however they are having this wonderful renaissance going on, where as my country has laws that require Canadian whiskey to taste like… Canadian whiskey.

It is like I’m only partially an alcoholic, with some of the expense, though without the extensive liver damage or the… Continue reading Cragganmore 12

So I know that I said I’d be testing out some Canadian whiskey this past weekend, however I ended up at a decent Scotch pub, and thus had some drams to taste. So first off, sorry to texaer for this not being Canadian, I’ll probably get to that in 2 weeks. Second off, sorry it’s not a peat bomb; let’s explore the Auchentoshan Three Wood.… Continue reading Auchentoshan Three Wood
