Bruichladdich Laddie Crew Valinch 04 – Grant MacLellan

Thanks to /u/whisky_lads for this sample. A few years ago, I asked whisky_lads for a swap. I was looking for a specific GlenDronach single cask. Jumping ahead, one of whisky_lads last posts before he gave up whisky/was kidnapped by Iran/stopped going on reddit/lit a poison candle/became a super secret scientist, he posted this dram and an […]

Aultmore Darkness! 16 Oloroso

Thanks to /u/devoz for the sample. I have many spreadsheets about whisky. I know, be still your beating heart. Stick with me here. One of them was made when one of my fellow whisky nerds asked me if I kept track of all the distilleries I have and have not had whisky from. I created it, […]

Mortlach SMWS 76.94 “Totally flavoursome” & Mortlach 25 1998 Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection

Macduff 2000 Jack Wiebers Old Mining Collection

Thanks to /u/whisky_lads for the sample. Over the years I’ve mentioned that the Highlands are not really my jam. Why? Because I can’t speak properly and usually use old terminology to hide that. But also because Highland malts, as a complete unit, have not been my go to. Now granted, over the years I’ve had some […]

GlenDronach Peated

Recently I was lucky enough to join the Toronto Whisky Society in the first of what we hope is a constant amount of tastings. In order to give everyone a shot at coming out, the entry “fee” was to bring a bottle that was NAS/10 years that was at least half full. The following reviews […]
