As part of one of the many whisky groups I’m part of, we all decided we’d be dicks to one another, but in a nice way.

So we all showed up, each with 2 whiskies: One we want empty and one mystery. And then, without knowing the order, and leaving that up to /u/31mak , we drank each one, reviewed them, and found out we’re all pretty bad at picking.

So let’s see how poorly I did, shall we? All information is down here, but we didn’t have that at the time.
