Ardbeg 14 Cask 94

Thanks to /u/kinohead for this sample Welcome to a new series I’m calling “I’m Ar-begging you to stop making these puns”, in which I review all of the Ardbeg samples I’ve had sitting around, unreviewed. I wish I knew more about Ardbeg 14 Cask 94. From what little I can find, the bottler is UD, the cask […]

Ardbeg Kelpie

Thanks to /u/RaunchyJowls for this sample. Welcome to a new series I’m calling “I’m Ar-begging you to stop making these puns”, in which I review all of the Ardbeg samples I’ve had sitting around, unreviewed. Time to continue folks! Everyone wants creativity. However just because your creative doesn’t mean it’s good. As most people who’ve visited modern […]

Ardbeg Dark Cove

Thanks to /u/ScotchChick for this sample. Welcome to a new series I’m calling “I’m Ar-begging you to stop making these puns”, in which I review all of the Ardbeg samples I’ve had sitting around, unreviewed. Let’s begin! Up first we have Ardbeg Dark Cove, a whisky name that both interests me and makes me wonder if there’s […]

Temple Bar Signature Blend, 10 Single Malt, & 15 Single Malt

I want you to take a moment to imagine a simpler time. Not better, just with less information for each person to have and less overall health and more overall violence and a general inability for most people to care for their fellow human being based on silly things like different cultures. All set? Yes, […]

The Wild Geese Rare, Single Malt, and Limited Edition Fourth Centennial

As we come upon St. Patrick’s Day, it’s that time of year where Irish Whiskies have a sudden surge in purchases. I recently had the chance to have more and more Irish whiskies from the batch of samples that I bought on my trip to Ireland. Irish Whiskey is the one of the fastest growing […]

High West Midwinter Nights Dram – Act 5

Thanks to /u/devoz for the sample. With a yell from the High West Distillery there was a call: Go, Philostrate, Stir up the American whiskey fans to merriment; And we can guess that Philostrate went and then came back moments later and just said “Why not release another Midwinter Nights Dram instead?” And they did, because […]

Glenburgie 27 1983 Signatory Cask Strength

Thanks to /u/Saba007 for this sample! If you’ve been following either my reviews or more importantly, /u/devoz‘s reviews on reddit, you’ll notice a distillery that sounds like it was made up by a show in which a man describes all the women he dated to his kids, Glenburgie. So far devoz has been the main dealer for […]

Heaven Hill 20 1996 Cadenhead’s 175th Anniversary

Thanks to /u/j4ni for the sample! I swear I had nothing to do with Heaven Hill 20 1996 Cadenhead’s 175th Anniversary. Oh, wait, no one is asking that. Okay then. A year ago I wrote about a gem I found in Scotland. Specifically Cadenhead’s had bought a barrel of Heaven Hills which had been aged for 5 […]

Blair Athol 19 1997 Cadenhead’s Small Batch

Thanks to /u/cdig81 for this sample! Almost a decade ago I was lucky enough to have a manager who was super organized. And she shared how she was: Excel. So when I started reviewing a few years ago, I used Excel to keep track of everything. So I typically know when I’ll be reviewing one of […]

Glen Grant 18

Thanks to /u/cake_my_day for this sample Recently Glen Grant 18 was awarded the Whisky of the Year by a specific whisky book. Well, it was one of three, and was the only Scotch. As we all know, different whisky reviewers will tell you different things. I may tell you about high end whiskies, and will rate them on […]
