Thanks to /u/Devoz for being my main hook-up for all things Bourbon, yet again. So I’m going to say something as a Canadian that may sound whiney. And it is. But you American’s don’t get how lucky you really are. Don’t sputter, wait for it. Sure, we have all these nice things like beavers, universal healthcare, French women who don’t age, and lower crime rates. However… Continue reading Sazerac Rye 6
Thank you again to /u/HawkI84 for a sample of this malt! It’s extremely sad to hear that Jim McEwan is retiring. Not because I love his malts, more so because I think he needs to work until he dies. Joking aside (that was a joke?), it’s sad to hear because rarely do we see a distillery bring out a whisky and just get the marketing right,… Continue reading Bruichladdich Black Art 3
I received both this and the last review I did on /r/bourbon from /u/jolarbear. Thanks again man! So you can see my recent rant about how I feel about whiskey that is really hard to find. I may have been off base with it. Or rather, my beef may not be with the whiskey itself (which I enjoyed and gave a good review), instead it may… Continue reading Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Lot “B”
So… Pappy. Thanks to /u/Jolarbear for this sample. Didn’t think I was ever going to drink it, what with how nuts we all get about anything with the Pappy name in it. What do I have to say, really, about Pappy? First off, I don’t think of it as liquid gold. I think of it as hard to get. I think of it as kinda annoying… Continue reading Old Rip Van Winkle 10
Sometimes I need to walk back amongst the mortals. Especially after being on vacation. Thanks to /u/ounknownto for the sample to help that out. Getting down to earth means not just reviewing all the silly stuff that we all go a little bit too nuts over. Granted after this one that’s all of my next 3 reviews. But let’s stay in the now. Because my now… Continue reading Aberfeldy 12
And I’ve finally caught up. I even had enough time before I became sick to crack open a sample from the amazing wunderkind /u/devoz! Thanks man! I had bought a bottle of Bowmore Devil’s Cask a few months ago. Had a lot of trouble deciding whether or not I should buy it. First up: I’ve never had it. It could be amazing. It could be… Continue reading Bowmore Devil’s Cask Batch 1
