Amrut Peated 2015 Blackadder Raw Cask [MYSTERY]

Thanks to /u/xile_ for sharing this whisky with us. Indian whisky. A decade ago the look on people’s faces when you mentioned it would be one of confusion, anger, and gas. Never forget gas. Even today, it’s really just whisky nerds really know that there are Indian whiskies worth drinking. Yes, the definition in the country is […]

Four Roses Private Selection (OESF Tippins)

Thanks to /u/devoz for pouring me a sample while others reviewed something I’ve already had. Four Roses. I’ve said many times that they are one of my favourite bourbon companies. Why? Because they pay me lots and lots of money. That, of course, is a lie. A bald faced lie. If I was being paid, I’d say […]

Glenburgie SMWS 71.43 “Sweet and spicy with a savoury kick”

Thanks to /u/devoz for sharing this one with us. Glenburgie. That distillery that we don’t hear too much about that so far, I’ve been impressed by. Granted I’ve only had 3 offerings, all at cask strength, chosen by independent bottlers. Under those situations, we hope that almost any distillery could pump out two, or even three good, […]

Benrinnes SMWS 36.122 “A dark jungle of flavour”

For some of you reading old Benrinnes reviews from myself on reddit or on my webpage, you’ll be wondering why I take a silly approach and talk poorly about them. You see, that was a joke brought up awhile ago. Around Reddit, not many people knew about Benrinnes. Or how good an ex-sherry Benrinnes could […]

Bird Dog Blackberry Flavored Whiskey

Thanks to /u/devoz for this sample. No, really. My constant desire to review every single whiskey under the sun is unrelenting as…. well, the sun. That didn’t start well… let’s try this again. I love to review all whiskies. Doesn’t matter the type. I specifically hunt down anything I haven’t had before. So during a recent tasting, […]

Millstone 100% Rye Single Cask 1577

Thanks to /u/devoz for sharing a sample of this whisky. The Netherlands. Not so much a place people think of when one says “Whisky Maker”. Usually a place one thinks of if I mentioned, for instance, social tolerance or perhaps tulip crash or even “Holland”, if you’re nasty. However those people aren’t including Zuidam Distillers. Originally started […]

Akashi White Oak Blend

I’d like to thank BarleyMania for this bottle, which was brought over by a friend of mine who happened to be in Germany at that time. Japanese whisky. A simplistic google search will show that it is gold that flows from the Heavens, given to us by Kami-no-Kaze, sprinkled down into the minds of genius makers who […]

Connemara Peated Single Malt [RE-REVIEW]

Thanks to /u/devoz for this sample. Which he gave to me as he feels I’ve matured and changed my view on this dram. Actually because he looked over my old review and said “Wow, that score is too high”. Which I then read up on, wondering “Hmmm, I haven’t read that in awhile.” I actually don’t read […]

Glenglassaugh 40 1975 Massandra Finish

f I said “Massandra Madeira” to you, some of you would identify it as wine. Others would wonder if that was the cool girl you had a crush on in elementary/primary school when you were young due to her interesting Mediterranean looks. Still others would wonder why we don’t identify all Madeira that’s used, like […]

Auchentoshan Bartender’s Malt 2017

Auchentoshan. A company that, when I bring it up around whisky fans, has different results. A lot of whisky fans, of whom I sometimes crawl out of my hole and talk to, haven’t had a lot of Auchentoshan. They had the 12, or the new American wood, or some one that was an entry malt, […]
