Auchentoshan 18

I like Lowland whisky. Quite a bit actually. I’d go so far as to say it’s in the top three regions. Granted that’s not based on my scores, and there’s so few Lowlands, so it could come out differently in the wash. What I will say is this: When I drink a Lowland, I know […]

Taos Lightning 17 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey (K&L exclusive cask #15) [Mystery]

Thanks to /u/Kilrathi for sending through a mystery sample with the bevy of whiskey he sent. To start off, for those of you who are new: Hi, I’m horrible at mystery reviews. I can’t guess worth a damn, and I’m pretty sure each time I post one of them, I lose what little ‘respect’ I currently […]

Sazerac Rye 6

Thanks to /u/Devoz for being my main hook-up for all things Bourbon, yet again. So I’m going to say something as a Canadian that may sound whiney. And it is. But you American’s don’t get how lucky you really are. Don’t sputter, wait for it. Sure, we have all these nice things like beavers, universal healthcare, […]

Bruichladdich Black Art 3

Thank you again to /u/HawkI84 for a sample of this malt! It’s extremely sad to hear that Jim McEwan is retiring. Not because I love his malts, more so because I think he needs to work until he dies. Joking aside (that was a joke?), it’s sad to hear because rarely do we see a distillery […]

Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Lot “B”

I received both this and the last review I did on /r/bourbon from /u/jolarbear. Thanks again man! So you can see my recent rant about how I feel about whiskey that is really hard to find. I may have been off base with it. Or rather, my beef may not be with the whiskey itself (which […]

Old Rip Van Winkle 10

So… Pappy. Thanks to /u/Jolarbear for this sample. Didn’t think I was ever going to drink it, what with how nuts we all get about anything with the Pappy name in it. What do I have to say, really, about Pappy? First off, I don’t think of it as liquid gold. I think of it as […]

Aberfeldy 12

Sometimes I need to walk back amongst the mortals. Especially after being on vacation. Thanks to /u/ounknownto for the sample to help that out. Getting down to earth means not just reviewing all the silly stuff that we all go a little bit too nuts over. Granted after this one that’s all of my next 3 […]

Bowmore Devil’s Cask Batch 1

And I’ve finally caught up. I even had enough time before I became sick to crack open a sample from the amazing wunderkind /u/devoz! Thanks man! I had bought a bottle of Bowmore Devil’s Cask a few months ago. Had a lot of trouble deciding whether or not I should buy it. First up: I’ve […]
