Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix [MYSTERY]

Thanks to /u/xile_ for pouring this for me. I’m not the biggest Glenfiddich fan boy. Yes, the 18 has a special place in my heart, however I’m not constantly hunting down Glenfiddich to try. That said I have been hunting down?Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix. I had a chance to have a pour, however not being the biggest Glenfiddich fan I passed. Snow Phoenix sounded too much like a… Continue reading Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix [MYSTERY]

Thanks to /u/Throzen for sharing this dram. Mystery sample time! It’s always fun to have a new whisky, and one blind is pretty cool. Also single casks can really, really vary one each.

Kirkland Signature Speyside 18

Thanks to /u/DistillAsian for this one! Kirkland Signature. We all know it. Sorry, those of us who need the deals at Costco just to get by in this boring dystopia that is Capitalistic North America know of it. Canadians and Americans have different ways of reacting to store brands. In Canada, we grew up with them, and even high-end versions of them. Americans, from what I’ve learned… Continue reading Kirkland Signature Speyside 18

Aultmore 35 1982 Adelphi

Thanks to /u/xile_[ for pouring me this dram. It’s the end of the year. We’re having whiskies of which we saved onto to eventually have. It’s all a great time. So we’re doing the next one blind. Which, of course, means I didn’t guess it correctly.?Aultmore 35 1982 Adelphi?is what it eventually was revealed to be. So first off, it’s pretty amazing to have a fifth birthday… Continue reading Aultmore 35 1982 Adelphi

Glenlivet Nàdurra Peated Whisky Cask Finish

Thanks to /u/kinohead for this sample. A long time ago I had this crazy idea: No, not to post a mystery advent calendar two months late. It’s Day #23, by the way. No, I wanted to review all of the different Glenlivet Nàdurra in one go. And then they came out super slowly. Also, there hasn’t been a port cask, either out of spite towards myself or… Continue reading Glenlivet Nàdurra Peated Whisky Cask Finish

Bunnahabhain SMWS 10.106 “Salted lemon sherbet”

Thanks to Tim W. for the sample. For the past few weeks, I’ve been intermittently posting my results of an Advent Calendar that my wife put together from my samples. It’s Day #21. All of the whiskies were done blind. All of them I should have known. The only hint I was given, eventually, is they were in the order of lower abv. to higher.… Continue reading Bunnahabhain SMWS 10.106 “Salted lemon sherbet”
