Bunnahabhain 30 Hunter Laing Old & Rare

So I just reviewed Bunnahabhain 30 (the original bottling), and that immediately questions the beg (that seems right), what if there was a single cask Bunnahabhain to compare and contrast to it? But who would have that? Aha! You fell for one of the classic blunders! Being a writer’s strawman! Also maybe you got involved […]

Bunnahabhain 30

You’re a tad lucky if you’re doing a Bunnahabhain multi-review and have an original bottling that isn’t a single cask in there. I know, totally relatable, but this is the point I’m at in my life so just go with it. Years and years ago, when going out in public wasn’t scary and trips were […]

Bunnahabhain 27 That Boutique-y Whisky Company – Batch 18

I have a hard time coming to terms with pretty bottles. Don’t get me wrong: Bunnahabhain 27 That Boutique-y Whisky Company – Batch 18 deserves to be in the search for a “great” Bunnahabhain like any other. The nice label on this single cask, 27 year old 500ml bottle doesn’t detract from that. It does muddle my […]

Bunnahabhain 16 1988 Scott’s Selection

There’s a few distilleries that I lean towards: Some I want to review as soon as I get them, and some I collect a variety of samples together to do in a series. So what are we up to this time? Much like how one let’s off steam automatically in a nuclear plant, so too […]

Glenturret 27 1990 Chieftain’s

Today we’ll be reviewing Glenturret 27 1990 Chieftain’s, makes me realize that I’d drink more Glenturret if I could. Let’s expand on why: First off, you have peated and unpeated Glenturret. And while I haven’t dug too deeply on peated Glenturret, if I’m hunting Glenturret, I’m going for the unpeated, so far. That doesn’t mean I’m […]

Caperdonich 23 1995 Signatory Vintage 30th Anniversary

Sorry for the ugly glass, I didn’t have my chamois with me and didn’t ask our friends for one because I hate nice photography. Also it was hot as balls and I was drinking and having fun. People don’t have a lot of Caperdonich, mostly because it’s used mostly in blends (Chivas Regal), ran between […]

Black Bull 40 Batch 1

Thanks to Whiskyjig for the sample. Sorry for the cloudy glass image. Trying 40-year-old whiskies is not a normal occurrence for me, what with my amazing idea to sell people oil that both cleans your hair and can be used in your car never taking up. I just think the world is not ready for it yet. […]

Highland Park Magnus

Thanks to my buddy Foster for pouring me this dram… I think. A few centuries ago, one Magnus Eunson, a butcher and church officer, decided he would start running an illicit still and become a bootlegger. He worked out of High Park in Kirkwall, Orkney. This would eventually all become Highland Park. Thus in order […]

Milk & Honey Young Single Malt – The Last One Batch 2

Thanks to my buddy Foster for pouring this for me. I’d love to be my normal fun-loving, dick-mentioning, awkward self for this review. I really would. But we’re reviewing whisky from a very political place. Yes, you could point out I’ve reviewed whisky from places that have done shitty things to varying degrees (multiple US […]

Ben Nevis 24 1996 Single Malts of Scotland

Welcome back to the continuing story I call: Holy damn I still love late 90s Ben Nevis and am sad it’s so expensive. I’m not helping by writing about it, and giving it high scores, and I’m not changing. But enough about me, we’re here to talk about Ben Nevis 24 1996 Single Malts of Scotland. […]
