Dewar’s 12

Blends. They make the whisky world go around, like fat bottomed girls and the rocking world. Or so I was told by my nanny. You know the rest. Blends are usually left behind after you’ve had a lot of single malts. I don’t know what stereotypical female body type used in song single malts are […]

Tamnavulin 22 1992 Small Batch Cadenhead’s

Thanks to /u/kinohead for the sample So there I am, like any older Millennial, owning a smart phone just so I can talk to my friends using 12 different apps. And one of them pops up. It’s Kinohead. Yes, I know his real name, however we’ll keep him as his reddit name for now, just incase he’s […]

J.P. Wiser’s Bryan Vanderkruk Custom Blend

Thanks to Bryan Vanderkurk for this sample. More so than normal, I have to thank him quite a bit. You see, recently as part of the Toronto Whisky Society, he was sent down to Windsor. And not for the usual punitive reasons one goes to Windsor. No, this was part of celebrating the launch of Wiser’s grand opening […]

Strathmill 35 A.D. Rattray

Thanks to /u/cake_my_day for this sample Strathmill. Don’t hear about it often, eh? It’s used in blends by Diageo like J&B. It was setup during the whisky boom of the 90s. The 1890s, that is. Used to be a mill. So there’s a few reasons why we don’t hear about them, right? However if you have that […]

Bruichladdich 19 1989 – Black Art

Thanks to /u/Whiskyjig for the sample. Originally my plan for my 750th whisky, and the end of my plan for celebrating hitting that milestone. Hey, ever hear of this small company, Bruichladdich? They’ve brought out a couple whiskes over the years. A few of them pop up every so often. They have some winners. I see them […]

Adelphi Breath of Speyside 2006 [MYSTERY]

Thank you to /u/devoz for yet another mystery for this particular milestone. So we had a mystery, an old whisky from a distillery I love, and a screw up with numbers. So of course, we have to have another mystery. Because screwing up is what I do best. Bouncing back after crawling into a ball and deciding […]

BenRiach 22 1994 Peated Ex-Tokaji (Cask 4004)

Hey, so sometimes my numbers screw up. And by sometimes, I mean a lot. Seriously, my numbers should be fine. As such, I reviewed BenRiach 22 1994 Peated Ex-Tokaji (Cask 4004) as what I thought was right before the 750th, and then… well I did some mysteries, I did what I thought, etc. None the less, I […]

Mystery Scotch Review #1 from /u/devoz [Scotch review #750]

Thank you to /u/devoz for a random mystery for this milestone dram. This is the first of many celebratory drams that I am having for my 750th Scotch reviews. Turns out I’ve had quite a few milestones so I have to stretch these out. Also I have some high end drams to drink. I know, it’s a […]

Mystery sample from /u/31mak

Thank you to /u/31mak for this sample. Damn your husband, /u/devoz, for laughing about this review throughout. Recently I lose the coveted amazing title of “Canadian who has somehow reviewed the most Indian whiskies” to devoz. And while I had many a sleepless night crying about this, I’m happy for him. However during these reviews he noted that […]

Green Spot Léoville Barton

Thanks to /u/throzen for the sample Irish whiskey is an interesting gauge of how experienced a whiskey drinker is. Allow me to explain: I don’t mean that if you don’t like Irish whiskey you aren’t a true whiskey snob, whatever the fuck that means. What I mean is after experiencing a few different levels of Irish whiskey, […]
