Teeling 15 The Revival Vol. 1 & Vol. 4

Teeling. Many people have heard about it, and I personally have written quite a bit in the past. What do we need to know though? None of this. Really, it’s all for fun and really just something I do for fun. And you read it for fun. That’s a great thing otherwise, as I’m pretty […]

Teeling Brabazon Bottling Series 01

Sherry casks. An entire business unto themselves, the lack of old English ladies seemingly erupting from the earth to keep drinking it, sherry makers have started making a quick version of sherry, leaving it in the cask to season them, dumping it out, and boom, you got your casks. I know that this isn’t done […]

Macallan Edition No .1 & Macallan Edition No .2 & Macallan Edition No .3

Thanks to /u/scotchchick & /u/distillasian & /u/smokedherring for the samples. I’ll admit that I have a bit of a sample issue. In that, I have so many samples that my diamond studded mansion has trouble housing them all. Get it? Because it’s a first world problem and I feel guilty mentioning it! What having too many samples and too much respect […]

Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist 2006

Thanks to /u/nsquare14 for sending me some samples. Really appreciate these, as he sent me some I’ve never reviewed as a thank you for the reviews. You have to really enjoy those moments in your life that are “treats”. What do I mean by “treats”, and am I using innuendo with those quotation marks? Not 100% on […]

Ichiro’s Malt Chichibu The Peated 2011

Thanks to /u/xile_ for the sample. I’ve had Ichiro’s malts before. The big thing about them is the card series. Also how legendary Hanyu is and the fact that it closed down. I’m also pretty bad at trying a lot of legendary drams. It’s no real surprise: I’m not rich and I don’t say only nice things […]

BenRiach 9 2008 Peated Port pipe

Thanks to /u/nsquare14 for sending me some samples. Really appreciate these, as he sent me some I’ve never reviewed as a thank you for the reviews. BenRiach 9 2008 Peated Port pipe. That’s a mouthful. And not just because I’m imbibing it. Let’s break this all down, shall we? BenRiach. A distillery I enjoy, though I’ll admit […]

Compass Box Nectar 10th Anniversary

Thanks to /u/nsquare14 for sending me some samples. Really appreciate these, as he sent me some I’ve never reviewed as a thank you for the reviews. So Compass Box has recently taken the entire idea of single cask and turned it on its head. From what I’ve seen, they’ve offered various alcohol stores and independent […]

Ellenstown 12 Cask Strength

Thanks to /u/nsquare14 for sending me some samples. Really appreciate these, as he sent me some I’ve never reviewed as a thank you for the reviews. If someone offered you a dram of Ellenstown 12 Cask Strength, you may, like me, wonder what that was. Has Ellen finally made a town, where there’s a distillery, and presumably […]

Ohishi Rice Whisky Sherry Cask

Thanks to /u/nsquare14 for sending me some samples. Really appreciate these, as he sent me some I’ve never reviewed as a thank you for the reviews. Ohishi distillery was founded in 1872. They are the closest distillery to the Kuma River, known for superior water quality. I assume that it involves robots making it better somehow. […]

Benrinnes 19 1997 Old Malt Cask Hunter Laing (K&L Exclusive)

Thanks to /u/nsquare14 for sending me some samples. Really appreciate these, as he sent me some I’ve never reviewed as a thank you for the reviews. Little bit of a rant here, with hopes that someone reads it that can do something. There’s no such thing as a whisky, from a distillery, that you can buy […]
