Laphroaig SMWS 29.154 “Camping with MAS*H”

Thanks to /u/devoz for swapping me this sample. So like a lot of Millennials (albeit one on the older side of that weathered coin), I grew up with MAS*H reruns. I watched it a ton, almost to the point where I wonder how much I really understood about the Korean war. Looking back, the idea of […]

Glen Grant SMWS 9.94 “Jam & Jerusalem”

And finally I’ll stop posting all the SMWS whiskies I have…. traded for from the welcome kit. What, you thought I had run out already? I have a problem people. And it’s called too many damn samples. And an utter need to write. And an unwavering devotion to the 15th century Pope. Oh, wait, ignore […]

Longmorn SMWS 7.90 “Welcome Home”

Yeah, I’m still working on my SMWS samples. Yes, I know you may or may not be able to get these, so it’s questionable how relatable these are. And yes, I typically don’t have a lot of information on a few of the starter pack ones. We got the winging out of the way? Good? […]

Auchentoshan SMWS 5.42 “Bathed in a baker’s shop”

See a trend yet in my posting? I give you a couple more to figure it out. A few months ago I was on the Internet, and for once, not playing video games, watching videos, pleasuring myself, or all three. No, instead I was chatting with other Whisky nerds. And one of said whisky nerds […]

Bowmore SMWS 3.248 “Like a hot coal in the mouth”

Thanks to /u/devoz for this sample So it’s me again. With another Single Malt Whisky Society bottling. And another Bowmore. Yadda, yadda, yadda, right? Well not really. See, I originally didn’t go hunting for a sample of SMWS 3.248 “Like a hot coal in the mouth”. Wasn’t even on my radar. I’m off swapping for another […]

Bowmore SMWS 3.213 “Fresh, inviting, energetic”

Hey, I’m not a fan of Bowmore! Wait! Don’t leave! I meant to say, I’m not normally a fan of Bowmore at a lower strength. Seriously, stop leaving! My bias are what they are. And honestly, I don’t hide from them. I continuously test them and see if they have changed. That’s all I can […]

Wiser’s Red Letter (2013) & Cask Strength

So what’s the deal with Wiser’s? Well for that, like a lot of things in Canadian history, we have to go to the US. See after the Civil War (not the movie or the comic book series), the US wanted whisky. And from what I understand from High School US history, the south was pretty […]

Lagavulin 8

First night of starting drinking again. It’s about time is what I say. I can be a pretty cynical person. At least I used to be. In the old days (not like the old country with old people and Coke Classic), I was a cynical little bugger. No company brought out anything other than to […]

Glenlivet XXV

Thanks to /u/Tsefly for this sample. Been a busy couple of weeks. And not “I gotta catch’em all” busy, that just started, and can be managed easily enough. No, more like “I want to get off Summer’s wild ride”, which sounds awesome at first. Summer sounds like a real goer. Unfortunately, if you’re like me, […]
