The Speyside Distillery 20 1996 Lady of the Glen

Thanks to a friend of mine for sharing this dram! I’ll be honest: My experience with “The Speyside” distillery is limited. Of the two previous ones I’ve had, neither really made me stand up at attention and demand more. Thus when offered The Speyside Distillery 20 1996 Lady of the Glen as part of a tasting, I wasn’t exactly jumping for joy, or dancing, as it seems… Continue reading The Speyside Distillery 20 1996 Lady of the Glen

Now to conclude my current ongoing need to finish off whiskies that all come from the same distillery, it’s time for the smallest (in size, not in ferocity) distillery in Scotland, Edradour. So remember: As one Edradour closes, another one opens. Don’t worry, I’ll be doing it again. Thanks to /u/ScotchChick for these samples. Specs Liquor has 100 locations across Texas, reminding me again how big Texas… Continue reading Edradour 14 Oloroso Finish & Edradour 16 Bordeaux Finish {Specs Liquor Store Pick}

Three Edradour SFTC Offerings

Now to continue my ongoing need to finish off whiskies that all come from the same distillery, it’s time for the smallest (in size, not in ferocity) distillery in Scotland, Edradour. So remember: As one Edradour closes, another one opens. I’ve mentioned before that my generation (Millenial) haven’t taken to the difference between initialisms and acronyms well. I’m not the first to bring this up,… Continue reading Three Edradour SFTC Offerings

Ledaig in 4 Parts [1,500th REVIEW]

Thanks to /u/xile_ and /u/devoz for giving me these samples. Somehow, without falling over and turning into a puddle of alcohol, I’ve hit 1,500 whisky reviews. It’s an odd moment. I started out with the mentality that people only read my reviews because they were funny, I mentioned pop culture moments, and I made dick jokes. Especially the dick jokes. If I learned anything from Shakespeare, it’s that the… Continue reading Ledaig in 4 Parts [1,500th REVIEW]

Tobermory 21 1995 Berry Bros. & Rudd

Thanks to /u/Davyj0ne5  for the swap. Talking about Tobermory is like talking about the most toxic relationship I ever was in. You see, as an adult, I no longer can just look at it without nuance. Yes, there was mental abuse. Yes, I lashed out in horrible, misogynistic ways that, while true, also don’t help. No, they aren’t a complete monster that isn’t worth sympathy, but they… Continue reading Tobermory 21 1995 Berry Bros. & Rudd

Ben Nevis 21 1996 The Whisky Agency Heads & Tails

By now most of you have read somewhere that Ben Nevis was hit or miss. And then in 1996, they were bought out, and someone decided to only make hit whiskies. Makes sense when you think of it. But there’s a lesser known thing to discuss before we talk about Ben Nevis 21 1996 The Whisky Agency Heads & Tails. It’s the label. I hope I… Continue reading Ben Nevis 21 1996 The Whisky Agency Heads & Tails
