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
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
