Nikka Taketsuru Malts (Pure Malt, 12, 17, 21)

The Nikka Taketsuru range is named after the creator of Nikka distillery. That’s a lot to live up to. Masataka Taketsuru is well loved at Nikka, so you just don’t The reason being, this is a blended malt, made up of Pure Malt. It’s distilled exclusively from barely malt. And Malt whisky, to the Nikka […]

Balvenie Triple Cask 12

Thanks to /u/Boyd86 for this sample. More finishes make better whiskies right? And more organs mean more healthy? Not to mention more chefs makes the broth fucking great, right? I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: If I ever uppercut a dolphin, I’ll both feel successful, silly, and deeply hurt, all at the […]

Nikka Miyagikyo 10

Thanks to.. someone for this one. Sorry, I can’t find any documentation on the swap. Yell at me if you traded this to me. I continue on my proxy Japanese journey to Miyagikyo, proving to me that Gaelic may not be winning the pronunciation game hands down. This range is an odd one: A 10 […]

White Oak Akashi Single Malt

Another Fine Day for a Fine Drams review. Buy now! Another sucking up to the Fine Drams guys? Okay, I’ll get on with it. So I recently did a lot of Japanese reviews. A bombing of reviews… if I was insensitive. Maybe a gaggle? No, that’s not Japanese… A harajuku of reviews? Perhaps a octopus […]

Bunnahabhain Toiteach

Thanks to /u/TequilaJunction for this one. So… deja vu? Haven’t I already reviewed this? I made some crass jokes, something about different places making different things. I think I mentioned my dick. I didn’t? That’s odd. Oh, and stuff about Gaelic being the second hardest part of the name to say. Yeah, that sounds familiar. Did […]

Bunnahabhain Ceobanach

Thanks to /u/Phreaky-Zee[1] for this sample. Lightly peated Islay whisky? What’s that, like non-chocolate Cadbury candy? Or living in a small town and no doing drugs and alcohol all the time? Or watching hentai without tentacles? Guess I can’t really make that joke as much now, as I’ve reviewed a bunch of Bunnas by now. […]

Mosswood Barrel Aged American Whiskey – California Sour Ale Barrel

Thanks to /u/Kilrathi for this sample! I don’t like beer… much. Okay, don’t stone me. Before I was married (5 years ago), we needed to pick a beer. And being the proper young man that I was, I wanted to support smaller, independent breweries. So I ran 3 beer tastings. One for my Best Man and […]

Garrison Brother’s Single Barrel

Thanks to /u/I_SAID_NO_GOLDFISH for this dram. Never been to Texas. I had a childhood friend who grew up there. And was tall. And had an accent. Which was interesting for someone in Quebec, at the time. I also have a friend who has visited. As fairly left leaning individuals from the socialist bastion of Canada (well, […]

Parker’s Heritage Collection 8 (13 year Wheater)

Thanks to /u/cnbrown313[1] for a sample of this dram. Feel a little silly posting this one, to tell you the truth. Like I’m slow poke, telling everyone about last years Parker’s Heritage Collection 8 (13 year Wheater). That’s kinda dumb, when I get down to it. I’m being embarrassed about not having the newest and […]

Glenmorangie Cluster Fuck Reviews [Companta, 18, Signet, Quinta Ruban, Lasanta, Astar]

Thanks to /u/devoz, /u/lasidar, /u/scotch_fanatic, and /u/allumina for samples. And me for buying others. Me is pretty great. Can’t name things though. So based on some of my last multi-reviews, I can’t call this a vertical. It’s vertical-ish, but not really a vertical. Also isn’t a horizontal either. Diagnonal sounds dumb. No, this is a Cluster […]
