So a long, long, long ass time ago (to use the scientific term), I made a pretty sweet trade with /u/dustlesswalnut[1] . I ended up trying some drams that I would never, ever get the chance to try, and… well, I think I sent him some Canucks. Can’t really remember though, I didn’t really sleep that well, given one cat decided to start singing at… Continue reading Balvenie Tun 1401, Batch 6
So as you may be able to tell from my flair, I play Dungeons and Dragons. Specifically, I Game Master it. Yeah, I’m one of THOSE nerds (not the ones running outside though… that requires a lot more fitness and planning than I can muster). In my games, my players have figured out that names that are hard to pronounce are a bad idea, as… Continue reading anCnoc 12
It’s that green time of year again, and much like most people hobbling out of their 20’s, my St. Patrick’s day festivities is one drink and maybe reading a book. I know, I’m such a party animal. At least I get to stop in at WW, which is doing well. That one dram is in celebration of the patron Saint of Ireland (as well as… Continue reading Connemara Peated Single Malt
It’s been a bit more than a year since I started getting into Scotch, my first real foray being a scotch tasting for Robbie Burns 2013. Since then, I’ve bought about 17 bottles, reviewed 14 scotches, 10 world whiskies, and am officially a lifelong fan. I’ve got a few friends from various circles who are also into the nectar of the gods and so I … Continue reading Bryan’s First Scotch tasting party
Just came off one of those weeks where I was too busy for my own good. Between work, hanging out with friends, keeping up with my Tomatin mega review, D&D, a few late nights, and traveling across the worst city for traffic in North America far too many times during some of the worst accident seasons we’ve ever had, I was pooped. I was able… Continue reading Balvenie 15 Single Barrel
This last week we’ve seen quite a bit about dreams in the media, given the amazing speech by Lupita Nyong’o. While I’m not up for an Oscar (yet), nor do we really have any awards or what not on /r/Scotch[1] after you cross over the 100 review mark, I’m quite proud of coming closer to my dream, which is to keep writing. This is my… Continue reading Benrinnes 25 Cadenhead’s Authentic
Had a first world problem the other day, thought I’d share. See, I’m suppose to limit the amount of alcohol I have for health reasons. You know, living in a country where I can go to a doctor and have my health assessed and have any concerns fixed without going bankrupt. Pretty rough, eh? And then I have to cut back on that luxury drink… Continue reading Mackinlay’s Shackleton: The Journey
