Highland Park Thor

Thanks to /u/valhallacasino for this sample. Why’d I write this review series? Cause I got High(land Park). I regret nothing. I personally hunt down tasters of different whisky groups. If someone releases a limited edition, four-parter, I’m a sucker for it. And it bugs me so much when I can’t try the others. Because while “limited” may […]

Four Roses Private Selection (OBSF – Fine Wine & Good Spirits) [MYSTERY]

When people leave my nation of preference, Canada, and head to the country beneath us (in geography, not in a mocking sense), they ask me (and many other of my whiskey friends) what they should pick up. Yes, it’s interesting to go through lists and lists of whiskies and figure out which ones are worth […]

Teerenpeli Suomi 100 Juhlaviski [MYSTERY]

Is it cheating to look at someone’s list while reviewing a whisky? Maybe. I don’t really know. On the one hand, I’ve met the people who can figure out all the whiskies they try blind. The guys who have had so many whiskies and know the profiles. I know I’m not going to attain that […]

Buffalo Trace 12 Single Barrel Toddy’s Store Pick [MYSTERY]

Thanks to /u/orehnmadgib for the sample. To pair with my last mystery review, in which I got the whiskey correct, I’ll now have one that I was so off, I couldn’t turn on any lights in my apartment for days, less my visage reminds me of the failure of trying to figure out this whiskey. […]

Cumberland Cask Ruby Cut

Thanks to /u/orehnmadgib for the sample. I am tremendously bad at guessing mystery samples. However I ended up with a bunch after some swap, so it’s time to crack them open in a series I’m calling “I’m really bad at mysteries”. It’s tough to buck trends. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of the […]

Bowmore 25 1991 Càrn Mòr Celebration Of The Cask Black Gold

Thanks to /u/xile_ for this sample. Turns out I had quite a few samples of Bowmore. My stores are now so full I can’t fit any Bow-More of them. Thus that’s what I’m calling this string of reviews. When buying independent bottlings of whisky, it’s good to understand the levels of what you’re buying. So we start […]

Bowmore 19 1997 Adelphi (cask 2411)

Thanks to /u/catharticintent for this sample Turns out I had quite a few samples of Bowmore. My stores are now so full I can’t fit any Bow-More of them. Thus that’s what I’m calling this string of reviews. When talking about whisky, there are different groups of people. There’s the group that believes adding anything to whisky […]

Bowmore 18 Manzanilla – The Vintner’s Trilogy

Thanks to the Toronto Whisky Society for supplying this sample. Turns out I had quite a few samples of Bowmore. My stores are now so full I can’t fit any Bow-More of them. Thus that’s what I’m calling this string of reviews. We’re seeing a time when using different casks is hitting its maturity. Some […]

Bowmore 16 Woodwinters Single Cask Release, “The Four – Isla Solera”

Thanks to /u/Davyj0ne5 for this sample. Turns out I had quite a few samples of Bowmore. My stores are now so full I can’t fit any Bow-More of them. Thus that’s what I’m calling this string of reviews. Whiskies, like cereal, and really all products, need to stick out. Even if you don’t have a marketing person […]

Bowmore SMWS 3.291 “Tickle your fancy”

Thanks to /u/Catharticintent for the sample. Turns out I had quite a few samples of Bowmore. My stores are now so full I can’t fit any Bow-More of them. Thus that’s what I’m calling this string of reviews. French Whore Perfume. A term that frankly I’m pretty sure I’m disgusted by using myself, yet one that pops […]
