Day 1 in the land of UK (Pronounced “Ook”, though the locals seem to not know this)! After playing Borderlands all day, testing two different samples and then getting only 1.5 hours of sleep, I was ready to have my first dram in the land of Booze and History (I came for booze and friends). As you may have noticed, in preparation of this trip,… Continue reading Aberlour 12 Double Cask Matured
Hi /r/bourbon[1] ! One of my rare stops in here! I just hit Scotch Review #70 over at /r/Scotch[2] , and I’m heading out of the country for awhile, so I thought I’d post something different than what I’ll be having in the UK. Today we’re looking at a group favourite, Bulleit Rye. Because without Bourbon, we wouldn’t have half the other whisky that we… Continue reading Bulleit Rye
I’m kinda speechless, for once. Review #70. This really blows me away. It seems like yesterday that I started posting. Though I better move on, otherwise I’m in the high grass of Nostalgia. I decided that I needed to do something special for my 70th Scotch review. Awhile ago /u/dustlesswalnut[1] did me a solid and made an excellent trade, of which one part was the Glenmorangie… Continue reading Glenmorangie Ealanta Private Edition
Had this one (and wrote this) on the third day of Fan Expo, and I’m basically a Zombie. And not in the way that most people are Zombies at Fan Expo. No. Turns out walking around all day, eating pizza and pulled pork, and then pouring alcohol on it, all together, sucks the energy out of you. It was awesome. So after watching a bunch… Continue reading Dalwhinnie 15
One day of Fan Expo done, and man I’m tired. So tired in fact, that I went to a Tavern, checked out their selection, and ordered Bruichladdich The Black Arts 3. And I did this with no regard for going on vacation in a week, going to 3 more days of nerd induced shopping sprees, and not knowing the price. Luckily they screwed up my… Continue reading Bruichladdich 15
Hey all, quick review before the first day of Fanexpo. Depending on the bar we end up at tonight, I may have one tomorrow as well. Is it obvious that I’m in vacation mode now? Trust me, it’s like alcoholic mode, yet it doesn’t last a long time, I sleep in my own bed, my life doesn’t fall apart, and you end up with way… Continue reading Jura 18 Battlehill
Hey all, continuing on finally getting to samples that I’ve received before heading off to the Mother Land next week (not Fanexpo, that’s this week). Today I’ll be venturing into territory I typically avoid with the Macallan 12 year Sherry Cask. I typically veer away from Macallan. I love the Cask Strength[1] , and I’m okay with the Fine Oak[2] , it’s just that there’s… Continue reading Macallan Sherry Cask 12
I’m trying to make it through quite a few of my outstanding samples before I go away to the UK. Because nothing’s better than beating up your liver before the world championships of beating up your liver (next to visiting Russia or Australia or parts of Quebec). None the less, I decided to start the Scotches with a Mystery Dram from /u/kinohead[1] . I’m quite… Continue reading BenRiach Peated 10 Curiositas [Mystery Dram]
No, this is not about the time I met up with some army buddies down by the creek and ate raw poblanos and Exlax, this is a Texas Single Malt! Thanks again to /u/pacifen[2] for sending me the sample. Much appreciated to try some of these small, local malts. I’ve been saving this one until my one buddy could have some as well, as we… Continue reading Ranger Creek Rimfire Mesquite Smoked Texas Single Malt Whiskey
Quick Recap: So each year, for my friend’s birthday, I bring him out to Feather’s pub[1] and buy him and myself a different flight of Scotch. I like having friends who like Scotch. If you’re following my posts closely, that’s completely normal and I’m proud of you…. also, you’ll remember I did this last year as well. This year we did the Highland/Speyside flight: Glen… Continue reading Glenlivet Scott’s Selection 1977 [Feather’s Flight Review Set #3]
Quick Recap: So each year, for my friend’s birthday, I bring him out to that pub I won’t shut up about[1] and buy him and myself a flight of Scotch. Suffice to say, I enjoy his birthday almost as much as he does. I did this last year, too. This year we did the Highland/Speyside flight: Glen Garioch 15 year[2] Glenmorangie 10 year 100 proof… Continue reading Glenmorangie 10 100 proof [Feather’s Flight Review Set #3]
Quick Recap: So each year, for my friend’s birthday, I bring him out to that pub I won’t shut up about[1] and buy him and myself a flight of Scotch. Suffice to say, I enjoy his birthday almost as much as he does. If you’re following my posts closely, you’ll be creepy…. also, you’ll remember I did this last year as well.
