The Speyside Distillery 20 1996 Lady of the Glen

Thanks to a friend of mine for sharing this dram! I’ll be honest: My experience with “The Speyside” distillery is limited. Of the two previous ones I’ve had, neither really made me stand up at attention and demand more. Thus when offered The Speyside Distillery 20 1996 Lady of the Glen as part of a tasting, I […]

Loch Lomond Single Grain

Thanks to a friend of mine for sharing this sample! Loch Lomond brings up a lot of thoughts. First off: Who? So Loch Lomond is a dual whisky distillery in the Highland region. They make both grain and malt whisky, and as of 1971, the last of a whole bunch who used to probably not […]

Edradour 14 Oloroso Finish & Edradour 16 Bordeaux Finish {Specs Liquor Store Pick}

Now to conclude my current ongoing need to finish off whiskies that all come from the same distillery, it’s time for the smallest (in size, not in ferocity) distillery in Scotland, Edradour. So remember: As one Edradour closes, another one opens. Don’t worry, I’ll be doing it again. Thanks to /u/ScotchChick for these samples. Specs Liquor has […]

Edradour Caledonia 12

Now to continue my ongoing need to finish off whiskies that all come from the same distillery, it’s time for the smallest (in size, not in ferocity) distillery in Scotland, Edradour. So remember: As one Edradour closes, another one opens. So you’re trying Edradour Caledonia 12. Why? Because you like Edradour and the second youngest regular […]

Three Edradour SFTC Offerings

Now to continue my ongoing need to finish off whiskies that all come from the same distillery, it’s time for the smallest (in size, not in ferocity) distillery in Scotland, Edradour. So remember: As one Edradour closes, another one opens. I’ve mentioned before that my generation (Millenial) haven’t taken to the difference between initialisms and […]

Ledaig in 4 Parts [1,500th REVIEW]

Thanks to /u/xile_ and /u/devoz for giving me these samples. Somehow, without falling over and turning into a puddle of alcohol, I’ve hit 1,500 whisky reviews. It’s an odd moment. I started out with the mentality that people only read my reviews because they were funny, I mentioned pop culture moments, and I made dick jokes. Especially the dick […]

Edradour 10 2006 Signatory & Edradour 11 2002 Chateauneuf de Pape Finish {Binny’s Picks}

In my ongoing need to finish off whiskies that all come from the same distillery, it’s time for the smallest (in size, not in ferocity) distillery in Scotland, Edradour. So remember: As one Edradour closes, another one opens. So to start we have two picks from Binny’s. For those of you not in the know, […]

Tobermory 21 1995 Berry Bros. & Rudd

Thanks to /u/Davyj0ne5 for the swap. Talking about Tobermory is like talking about the most toxic relationship I ever was in. You see, as an adult, I no longer can just look at it without nuance. Yes, there was mental abuse. Yes, I lashed out in horrible, misogynistic ways that, while true, also don’t help. No, they […]

Longrow 11 Red Cabernet Franc

Sometimes consistent releases are great. Sure, the odd, random whisky is a lot of fun. And finding them is exciting. Probably part of the reason most of us, if not myself, love to review. Heck, most of the time my reviews are for whiskies that are sold out or I’ve just gotten to. It’s partially […]

Ben Nevis 21 1996 The Whisky Agency Heads & Tails

By now most of you have read somewhere that Ben Nevis was hit or miss. And then in 1996, they were bought out, and someone decided to only make hit whiskies. Makes sense when you think of it. But there’s a lesser known thing to discuss before we talk about Ben Nevis 21 1996 The Whisky […]
