Some whiskies have an amazing Name. A name that evokes the Scottish drawl, or the roar of one yelling it out into the air. They make you sound manly and shit when you say them. Or womanly. Fuck it, they make you feel so fucking human and badass and awesome that it grows whatever genitals you want and however amount of hair and ass that… Continue reading Royal Lochnagar 1999 Authentic Collection 15
Yes ladies and gentlemen, I’m cross-posting this review across all three of the review subreddits. And why? Because it belongs in each one. Orbis Aged World Whiskey is a blend of Canadian, US, Irish, Scottish, and Japanese whiskies. It’s so insane, it may just work. Or simultaneously piss off 5 countries at once. And at least 3 of those are pretty rough when they are… Continue reading Orbis Aged World Whiskey
When I’m on vacation I like to do more reviews than I normally could. And who wouldn’t? We’re whisky nerds. It’s what we like to do. I personally like writing. That’s why I write all these reviews. They are fun for me. And the whisky is tasty as well. Thus why I didn’t notice that I was coming super close to my 300th review. And… Continue reading Grant’s Family Reserve
Well I was told that I finally reviewed Jim Beam Black correctly, so why not continue with some other drams from Jim Beam, now that I have allowance to do so. Oh, look at that: Jim Beam has put their name on a new product. And it’s flavoured. Here’s my thing about Flavoured Whiskey reviews: I get it. They probably won’t ever taste as good… Continue reading Jim Beam Red Stag Black Cherry
Store brands are an interesting thing. For me. Because I’m in Marketing. Probably not for you. See, the thing about Store brands is they are made by some other manufacturer, slapped on with a different label, and then sold at a lower price point. Did I lose everyone yet? So if you buy Great Value (Walmart) brand Chocolate Sandwich cookies, and Kraft has a deal… Continue reading The Co-operative Finest Blended Scotch Whisky
If I’m 100% honest, I have moments of doubt. Doubt that my reviews get to anyone, doubt that I’m not just screaming into the vast abyss of conversations and 1s and 0s of the Internet. I doubt that I can write, I doubt my ability to taste some of these things, and I wonder if I should be spending more time studying than doing what… Continue reading Benromach 10
So I already did the whole “Size of the Distillery’ silly speech, right? Shit, should have saved that one. Maybe something about recommendations? No? Dammit. How I don’t like Highland Whisky? Probably done that one too many times. Damn, I’m hitting a few too many reviews at this point. I start running out of things to say. And then I go to the UK, start… Continue reading Edradour 10
I’m going to be quite obtuse during this review and the next one. The reason for that I can’t go into. Let’s just say: Always have some extra cash put aside in case of emergencies on a trip. So: What makes Jameson Gold Reserve so special? We use gold to denote the better things in life. It draws people in, gives us an idea about… Continue reading Jameson Gold Reserve
I’m so nice to Tobermory. Always so nice. Alright, that’s a complete lie. I have not been nice to the distillery that makes our next whisky. I’ve been mean to them. A lot. Just ask some people. However that didn’t stop me from wanting to try Ledaig 2005 8. Mostly because I’ve never had it. Also because I’ve never tried it. And I want to.… Continue reading Ledaig 2005 8
First up: I’d like all you Jim Beam Black fans to calm your tits. I come to resurrect Caesar, not to pile on. Before I went on vacation I tried a small sample of Jim Beam Black from a bottle that a friend gave me. And I didn’t like it. At all. Later on, I received some very nice comments from people. Oh wait, no,… Continue reading Jim Beam Black [Re-Review]
I’ve had some odd moments in my life with my overall height (was going to say size, and then realized I make dick jokes a lot, so probably would have been confusing). I’m the shortest of all my male friends. I run the slowest, and am the weakest. On the other hand, I work in a very Asian and Female dominated market, so I’ve been… Continue reading Edradour Vintage 2003 Chardonnay Cask
I walk into this pub in Birmingham, and they don’t serve food. Other than Crisps. Called the Wellington. I would have had at least 5 more reviews to post if the credit card machine wasn’t down. They had that much amazing whisky. They had a really interesting whisky selection, all perfectly kept up by very well informed bartenders. In the corner was a whisky I’ve… Continue reading Kilkerran Work in Progress 4
