Aberlour 12 Double Cask Matured

Day 1 in the land of UK (Pronounced “Ook”, though the locals seem to not know this)! After playing Borderlands all day, testing two different samples and then getting only 1.5 hours of sleep, I was ready to have my first dram in the land of Booze and History (I came for booze and friends). […]

Bulleit Rye

Hi /r/bourbon! One of my rare stops in here! I just hit Scotch Review #70 over at /r/Scotch, and I’m heading out of the country for awhile, so I thought I’d post something different than what I’ll be having in the UK. Today we’re looking at a group favourite, Bulleit Rye. Because without Bourbon, we […]

Glenmorangie Ealanta Private Edition

I’m kinda speechless, for once. Review #70. This really blows me away. It seems like yesterday that I started posting. Though I better move on, otherwise I’m in the high grass of Nostalgia. I decided that I needed to do something special for my 70th Scotch review. Awhile ago /u/dustlesswalnut did me a solid and made […]

Dalwhinnie 15

Had this one (and wrote this) on the third day of Fan Expo, and I’m basically a Zombie. And not in the way that most people are Zombies at Fan Expo. No. Turns out walking around all day, eating pizza and pulled pork, and then pouring alcohol on it, all together, sucks the energy out […]

Bruichladdich 15

One day of Fan Expo done, and man I’m tired. So tired in fact, that I went to a Tavern, checked out their selection, and ordered Bruichladdich The Black Arts 3. And I did this with no regard for going on vacation in a week, going to 3 more days of nerd induced shopping sprees, […]

Jura 18 Battlehill

Hey all, quick review before the first day of Fanexpo. Depending on the bar we end up at tonight, I may have one tomorrow as well. Is it obvious that I’m in vacation mode now? Trust me, it’s like alcoholic mode, yet it doesn’t last a long time, I sleep in my own bed, my […]

Macallan Sherry Cask 12

Hey all, continuing on finally getting to samples that I’ve received before heading off to the Mother Land next week (not Fanexpo, that’s this week). Today I’ll be venturing into territory I typically avoid with the Macallan 12 year Sherry Cask. I typically veer away from Macallan. I love the Cask Strength[1] , and I’m […]

BenRiach Peated 10 Curiositas [Mystery Dram]

I’m trying to make it through quite a few of my outstanding samples before I go away to the UK. Because nothing’s better than beating up your liver before the world championships of beating up your liver (next to visiting Russia or Australia or parts of Quebec). None the less, I decided to start the […]

Ranger Creek Rimfire Mesquite Smoked Texas Single Malt Whiskey

No, this is not about the time I met up with some army buddies down by the creek and ate raw poblanos and Exlax, this is a Texas Single Malt! Thanks again to /u/pacifen[2] for sending me the sample. Much appreciated to try some of these small, local malts. I’ve been saving this one until […]

Glenlivet Scott’s Selection 1977 [Feather’s Flight Review Set #3]

Quick Recap: So each year, for my friend’s birthday, I bring him out to Feather’s pub[1] and buy him and myself a different flight of Scotch. I like having friends who like Scotch. If you’re following my posts closely, that’s completely normal and I’m proud of you…. also, you’ll remember I did this last year […]
