Glenburgie 22 1998 Single Malts of Scotland

Thanks to /u/devoz for sharing a sample of this with me. It’s a weird moment to have two whiskies that are so different but the names are off by 1 number. And not a wild swing either, one is just a few years different. So the last whisky I reviewed was Glenburgie 21 1998 Single Malts of […]

Glenburgie 21 1998 Single Malts of Scotland

This is the continuing series I’m calling “When you drink Apple Pie “When the drink hits your eye Like a big apple pie, that’s Glenburgie”. Does that make sense? No, not at all. Should I have said it in the first one? Not at all, it’s not funny. Am I leaving it in here because […]

Cardhu 27 1975 Signatory Vintage Rare Reserve

Something about figuring out how a seemingly random set of data points and making sense to them gives some calmness to my anxiety. As such, each of my reviews is kept in a Google sheet that tracks my […]

Secret Islay #2 10 2011 The Whisky Agency Heads & Tails
