Ben Nevis 20 1996 Sansibar

So far we’re over a week into the Advent samples that I’ve been doing, and with this being Advent Day #8, we’ve had a few surprises, yet nothing overly epic. Well, that’s about to change because my wife’s drunk “order” by Abv. is ramping up. I have been adding drops of water to pick apart […]

Glen Scotia 14 1992 Gordon & MacPhail Cask Strength

Today is brought to you by the number 7. As in Advent Day #7. Yes, I’m keeping up with this, popular or not. I went through it, now you do too. It’s like you’re drinking it, without the taste or intoxication or comradery or really anything fun. But hey, you get to read what I […]

Laphroaig Lore

So it’s Advent Day #6. And my wife asks me about one of my shelves. Why I don’t seem to pull from it as much. I mention that’s my shelf of stuff that I’ve reviewed before that’s been broken down to boston bottles either to share with people or to have in the future. She […]

Glen Grant 12 1988 Single Cask Caledonia

I did an Advent Calendar made up of samples I had acquired over time, chosen by my wife, amongst all of the samples in my whisky shelf. We’re onto Advent Day #5. If you tried to guess she put them in order of alcohol strength, you’d be both correct and incorrect. There are some hiccups […]

Deanston 18 Cognac Cask

I did an Advent Calendar made up of samples I had acquired over time, chosen by my wife, amongst all of the samples in my whisky shelf. We’re onto Advent Day #4, and so far I haven’t missed any. I eventually will, but my resolve is still pretty strong. Oh, who am I kidding? I’m […]

Jameson Crested Ten

This past year (2018) I had lots and lots of plans. Finish my accounting schooling, find a new job in a new career space, figure out where baby racoons come from, and review enough Irish Whiskey to finally hit 100 total reviews. I’m happy to say I got most of that done, and I now […]

Imperial 18 1995 Gordon & MacPhail

I did an Advent Calendar made up of samples I had acquired over time, chosen by my wife, amongst all of the samples in my whisky shelf. We’re onto Advent Day #3, and I’m still alive. Let me tell you, ensuring you’re kept up on reviews, trying very hard to keep up with everything, and […]

Caol Ila 19 1974 Signatory Vintage (Feather’s Review Set #19)

So it was my birthday. Since my wife is awesome, she offered to take me to the pub (and take me home! win!) and I could have some drams. I decided that since I was born in 1982, I should have two drams from 1974. What, does that not make sense? Well it sure as […]

Clynelish 27 1974 Signatory Vintage (Feather’s Review Set #19)

Wait a second, it’s also near my birthday!… a month ago. So as is custom, I dressed up in my favourite clown costume and headed out to the bar. I kid, it’s more of a pub. The Feathers Pub, to be exact. Yes, I finally got around to it again, because it’s my birthday. So this […]

Sheep Dip

I did an Advent Calendar made up of samples I had acquired over time, chosen by my wife, amongst all of the samples in my whisky shelf. We’re onto Advent Day #2. What will it bring? I’m hoping candy. But probably not. All of these were done blind, poured blind, and then took the Bird […]
