Coming close to the big ole review number 150, and well, I’m trying to review as many of the samples I’ve traded for as possible. This sample comes from /u/krisjoon[1] , who helped me do a mega swap along with his bro. Great guy, trade with him. Anyway, we’ll be continuing my kick of Next Level malts with Highland Park 18. I thought it appropriate… Continue reading Highland Park 18
Some days, when looking over what I’ve reviewed, like some fat king atop a mountain of words, I find that I’ve done quite a few Independent Bottlings. And I wonder if people assume I’m just a collector who has a large space to store all these elaborate rare bottles. And to that I say no, that’s the other people on this site, I just have… Continue reading Highland Park Gordon & MacPhail Cask Strength 2003
3 Beginner drams to go, and because of an awesome swap with the really great /u/Allumina[1] , I’m now able to finish it this year. This isn’t a review for the one he sent me though, this is just a tribute. Blends and I…. have some issues. I mean, I’ve had great blends, and I know it makes sense when you think about it: Blend… Continue reading Black Bottle
Being distracted from doing that large projects you want to start by the small stuff you also want to do is an odd concept. Like, you’re still productive, yet you’re not at the same time. For instance, as I’ve tried to hint/blather about a Tomatin 8 multi-review that I’ve gathered components for. And don’t worry, by Summer, I should eventually start trying them out. Yet… Continue reading Highland Park 15
Anyways, recently I’ve decided to get into some more bourbons and see what I like/dislike. Also have to work on finishing up that Chinese flag I have beside my name. So when swapping with /u/tvraisedme[3] , who is amazing. I mean, I swapped with him and he even let me decide what kind of whisk(e)y. I said Rye, he sent me Rye. I could have… Continue reading Willett Family Rye 4 [Mystery Review]
I am FINALLY able to open up some bottles I’ve had kicking around. And that means I now have too many open bottles again. Someday, someday soon, I’ll figure out how to do things in moderation. In this case it was opening too many bottles, not drinking heavily. Anyway, as my wife would like me to continue finishing bottles, as she is an enabler lovely… Continue reading Scapa 16
It’s back to Basics time!… Well, not really, it’s back to next level time? Whatever, it’s time to review one of the staples, all so that I can feel like I should be writing these reviews, not just.. I don’t know, some guy who drinks quite a bit. This week we have Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or. This is the usual Glenmorangie juice of 10 years with… Continue reading Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or
When the Community review for Nikka from the Barrel came up, I was sure I could buy it. And that was quickly dashed when I found out that it’s not sold in North America. Also, the name just seems silly to me. Nikka from the Barrel as opposed to… Nikka from the air? Nikka from the sewer drain pipe? Nikka from a glass slipper, poured… Continue reading Nikka from the Barrel
