And this is where we end the mini cask experiments, however more on that latter. The last white spirit I put into the cask was the Still Waters New Make Single Malt. I’m a fan of Still Water. When I originally reviewed[1] the New Make, I enjoyed it. There was definitely something there that was worth exploring. Also, let’s not mince words: I bought it… Continue reading Still Waters New Make Single Malt [Aging Experiment]
After a (small) hiatus to let my liver start running again, I’ve been able to sit down to the start of the samples I have to drink, as I worry if I don’t drink them that they will rise up, gain sentience, and then drink themselves as I sleep, as they are filled with wonderful happy juice. While in the U.K. I put in an… Continue reading Arran Malt: Amarone Cask Finish
So as most people know by now, I kinda went on a bender on my vacation to the UK. 50 whisky samples in 15 days was both awesome and completely stupid, as I’m on medication where I’m not really supposed to have more than 4 oz. of hard liquor per week. None the less, I came back, cut back, and was doing well (other than… Continue reading Mystery Exchange Reviews [Glenlivet 18, Johnnie Walker Green Label, Glenmorangie 18, Balvenie 17 Peated Cask, Glenfarclas 21]

Also it tells me that someone in the bar actually knows what they are… Continue reading Bruichladdich Resurrection 2001
Yet another review request, and this one comes to us from my favourite pub[1] . Quick comment about the image: Turns out I forgot to take a picture of the dram, and also it was busy so I didn’t take a picture of the bottle. This is a rarer bottle that you won’t find, as there is also a 21 year from the same year… Continue reading Linkwood 10 1989 Old Malt Cask
Back from vacation, back from drinking excessively, back in Canada where I’m used to the food. So of course we went out to eat at an English pub in Toronto, Feather’s Pub[1] , as I could never have enough English (and Scottish and Welsh and etc.) food, and Feather’s does it right. I’m a big fan of the review request thread. I think it’s a… Continue reading Inchmurrin 10 Berry Bros & Rudd
