Thanks to /u/devoz for this sample. As many of you have seen, there’s some holes in my posts. And by holes, I mean that I’ve done over 1117 reviews and some distilleries have slipped through. I mean, I’m actually human, contrary to some of the popsicle stick body part rumours that are out there. One of the many distilleries I’ve missed is Glenburgie. No, this wasn’t made… Continue reading Glenburgie Archives 1995
This is part 2 of all of the Arran reviews. However I did something a little silly when choosing. I split the drams down the middle, assuming that all of the below were single (or a few) casks. With the exception of the Arran 21st Anniversary, that’s true, as we don’t know how many casks went into it (we know it’s at least 3). That’s… Continue reading Arranpocalypse (Part 2)
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… Continue reading Multiple Mystery Whiskies
Thank you to /u/throzen for a sample of this. Aberfeldy. The name makes you scratch your head, or at least, it does for me. You look at the bottles, and start to scratch your head. Are they hipsters? Or are they following the old ways? Or do I give a shit? I mean, I’ve been thinking about it, and maybe I don’t care. Yeah, it’s annoying to… Continue reading Aberfeldy 16 A. D. Rattray
I recently had the chance to try a sample of the upcoming Toronto Whisky Society bottling. More on that in the future. Far into the future. Unless you ask or are part of it, then you’ll find out. So we tried the sample of the bottling, had some excellent snacks (provided by Igor’s wife, who is brilliant at baking), and then some Turkish coffee to… Continue reading Littlemill 26 The Whisky Agency Bottled Letters
I recently had the chance to try a sample of the upcoming Toronto Whisky Society bottling. More on that in the future. Far into the future. Unless you ask or are part of it, then you’ll find out. But first we needed something to open up our tastebuds. And as an excellent hose, Igor, who is part owner of Heads & Tails, asked us what… Continue reading Glen Grant SMWS 9.88 “A heart-starter”
Thanks to /u/devoz for the sample. Why not include this in my multi-review of a bunch of Caol Ilas? Cause it came later. Also I did a lot of work between then and now and don’t want to have to change all my numbering. Also I’m lazy. Let’s not forget that. Young peated malts are an exception to a rule about young malt, I’m finding. Where… Continue reading Caol Ila 11 2005 Gordon & MacPhail bottled for Kensington Wine Market
