Smoky Goat

Thanks to /u/j4ni for this sample. I think it’s too easy to call Diageo the Devil. See? I just did that. I think the real thing behind it is we worry that some of the care and love disappears as large companies venture into our lives. We all love Salsbury Steak (most of us do, […]

Canadian Club (1969)

Thanks to /u/I_SAID_NO_GOLDFISH for this sample. Mad Men. Some of us watched it. I probably should have, since I’m in Marketing and it would make me feel cool before breaking down in tears at what really happens in my life. Just kidding: I cry anyways. However I didn’t watch it. Why? Because he drank Canadian […]

Ardbeg 23 1991 Single Cask (Master of Malt)

Get this: Master of Malt, who have tons of whisky, also do single cask bottlings themselves! Oh, everyone knew that. Guess here in Canada, where Single Cask bottlings offend the Governor General or some such horseshit, it’s still pretty amazing to me. Man I wish we’d fix our laws here. Oh well, at least I […]

Compass Box This is Not a Luxury Whisky

Thanks to /u/lvl1dramacenter for this sample. Another high end Compass Box? So soon? Well I said I’d review these soon, and then… I buried the rest of my Compass Box samples in my sample hutch. Which is hard to search when you trade like a madman and don’t drink fast enough. Poor me. Too much booze. […]

Compass Box Flaming Heart 15th Anniversary Edition

Thanks to /u/dustlesswalnut for this sample. Let’s not beat around the bush: Mostly because there’s very few women who enjoy that (especially Lesbians). Oh wait, maybe that’s beat off… my bad. Anyway, what I’m saying is this: I’ve had other Flaming Hearts before, and I’m not talking about my time as a great African war leader […]

Seagram’s V.O.

Very Optimal? Probably not. Virgin Oil? Maybe, though I think I wouldn’t have drank most of it then. Vertically Optimal? I’m going to guess no, as it predates silly marketing speak. Whatever the meaning of V.O. in Seagram’s V.O., the whisky itself has a long and some would say.. uh… what’s a nice word for “it […]

BenRiach 23 A.D. Rattray

Thanks to /u/stinkysauce for this sample. It’s 4:31am, my head is pounding, I’ve pulled the muscles in my stomach again, and I can’t blame it on excessive alcohol because I had all of 1 last night. How are you doing? That said, at least this gives me a moment to catch up on some reviews. […]

BenRiach Finished Threesome Review [15 PX Sherry, Madeira, Sauternes]

A Threesome. The right amount in fornication, and in this case, missing a couple people but what the hey, let’s make some mistakes anyway. Just with my liver instead of my penis this time. (Editor’s Note: He’s never had a threesome.) Hey! They didn’t need to know that! Damn editors. Okay, so I picked up […]

Bunnahabhain Adelphi Liddesdale Islay Batch 8

Thanks to /u/Devoz for this one. And thanks to /u/stinkysauce for it too, in a roundabout way. See, this should actually be named after the sample: Damn.You.For.Ruining.My.Original.Swap./u/StinkySauce .Mystery.Sample. However that seems wordy, and that’s my job, not the titles. A bit of background: Wait, too long, let me condense: I got a sample from stink. It […]

Ardbeg Perpetuum Standard & Distillery Release

Thanks to /u/methshin for the sample of the Distillery Release. I’ve had a few of the Ardbeg Special releases now. I’ve heard tales that, long ago, they were much prized and amazing. Since then… well things may not be as good, but I’m still hopeful. I like Ardbeg, and feel that this is only a […]
