And with this whisky, I beat my old record of “most reviews in on month” that I set for myself. Yay me! And how else could I finish it than with a BOMB! Wait… no, shit, I was on an airplane after this. I’m on a list somewhere now. Crap. NSA is reading my reviews now. That means they’ll be buying more whisky. Dammit /u/TOModera.… Continue reading The Bomb – Pedro Ximenez Cask Finish
My last day on vacation. I’ve been enjoying whisky all day, with some breaks. And some walking. And some exploring. And some pictures from my wife (not that kind, sicko). So I’m running out of whiskies to review. In life, in general. Especially Scotch. I know, what a rough life. Did I tell you how I have too many samples and diamonds now? No? Guess… Continue reading Glenrothes Select Reserve
I was at a second bar when I tried this. And I had some food, more water, and more time. Also a walk to clear my head. I think I’m okay to do more reviews. Gotta break my record. Four Roses Small Batch, just by itself. Not a limited edition, not anything like that. It’s the 2014 one. This is a blend of four (count… Continue reading Four Roses Small Batch 2014
Campbeltown. Take some time to memorize that name. Because if you’re like me, you’ll spell it wrong over and over and over again. I’m still at the same bar as my last 3 reviews. And I notice something in the corner of my eye. I’ve chugged a LOT of water between drams to ensure my tongue isn’t all f’ed up. But I haven’t eaten. Luckily… Continue reading Longrow 10
Oh, am I late for the community review? Of course. I take half a month to drink my fanny off (that means vagina in the UK) and I miss the main event. As usual. Wa-wa (imagine that as a sad sound effect). I apologize I didn’t walk into this bar a few weeks earlier and could have added all the genitalia jokes mixed with historical… Continue reading Hakushu 12
Hey, look! It’s a bandwagon. Now, do I feign being the Hipster I constantly fight myself from being and say that I did this review before it was cool, or do I just put it out there that I tried it because it was at a bar in Leicester and I was trying to beat my old record? Wait, that’s the same thing, isn’t it?… Continue reading Fighting Cock 6
Hi /r/bourbon! I haven’t posted to you for a few days. Or a week. It’s hard to tell, what with a crazy weekend filled with a Kids in the Hall performance, an exam, a fever, and a delayed Easter dinner. What year is it? Or what with still catching up on the last of my whiskey posts. Anyway, I walk into this nice little pub… Continue reading Noah’s Mill
So I’m back in London. Not right now, in the past. At Cadenhead’s. Again, in the past. I’m in Canada now. Anyway, I’m there, looking over these minis that I want to try, and I notice a Dalmore. And it doesn’t have that normal Dalmore red hue. So I’m intrigued. And then the shopkeep informs me that it is, in fact, a Dalmore that has… Continue reading Dalmore Distillery 1992 Authentic Collection 22
I have a feeling, sometimes, that the entire island of the UK (England, Wales, Scotland) are playing a joke on me. Heck, even Ireland may be in on it. Which is okay, I like a good joke. Try saying any of the town/city names that aren’t well known in any of the country. Just try. If it isn’t Bath, London, or just a few letters,… Continue reading Auchroisk 1989 Small Batch 24
Continuing on with my “spending craze” at Cadenhead’s. The whole shop was a buzz when I walked in. And why not? I had walked in. That’s enough. Well, that’s enough ego-sturbation for the day, let’s just stop before my head goes right up my own ass. Anyway, we had missed a tasting by a few hours. Or perhaps a day. I couldn’t tell, I was… Continue reading Glenlossie-Glenlivet 1993 Authentic Collection 20
As I’ve said before, and will say again: A long time ago there were requests on the whisky network. People would ask the community to review different whiskies that they wanted to try. And someone (who I’m not going to search for) asked for Campbeltown Loch. I used to have a spreadsheet of all these requests, however they became too numerous, so now I just… Continue reading Campbeltown Loch
I think at this point, rather than celebrating my overall numbers hitting a particularly high amount with many zeros, I may start trying to review something interesting when the specific regions hit a high amount. Granted that could become extremely hard, so let’s just assume I did that for this recent 50th Highland Whisky review. Nothing to see here, just a smart reviewer who didn’t… Continue reading Ben Nevis 10 (cask 334) White Port Pipe Matured
