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. […]

Parker’s Heritage Collection 10th Edition & 5th Edition

I thank whomever poured these for me, and I apologize I can’t find your online username. My father is a bourbon fan. As such, when I visit him, I like to pick out samples. He has his with ice, as he likes bourbon and ice, and I have mine neat, with some water part way […]

Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix [MYSTERY]

Thanks to /u/xile_ for pouring this for me. I’m not the biggest Glenfiddich fan boy. Yes, the 18 has a special place in my heart, however I’m not constantly hunting down Glenfiddich to try. That said I have been hunting down Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix. I had a chance to have a pour, however not being the biggest Glenfiddich […]

Rosebank 21 1990

Thanks to /u/Saba007 for pouring me this dram. So I’ve been sick, and that’s sucked. Really sick. Haven’t had the energy to have many drams, save for special occasions, and haven’t had the energy to do much more than work/school. But you’re not here for that. You’re here because I’m well again and writing again. So let’s […]

Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy 2016

This past year (2018) I had lots and lots of plans. Finish my accounting schooling, find a new job in a new career space, teach a gorilla to love, and review enough Irish Whiskey to finally hit 100 total reviews. I’m happy to say I got most of that done, and someday Koko will come […]

Bushmills 16 Three Wood

Thanks to /u/boyd86 for the sample. This past year (2018) I had lots and lots of plans. Finish my accounting schooling, find a new job in a new career space, INSERT SOMETHING FUNNY HERE THAT IS OBVIOUS I DIDN’T DO FOR COMEDIC EFFECT, and review enough Irish Whiskey to finally hit 100 total reviews. I’m happy to […]

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 […]

Mellow Corn

Thanks to /u/Scotchchick for pouring a sample for me. There’s a whiskey. Some would say ubiquitous. Still, others would say it’s legendary. Its golden hue is known by geeks and non-geeks alike, which based on how I did on Venn diagrams, includes everyone in the world (Editor’s note: That’s not how that works at all). Of course, […]

The Wild Geese Rare, Single Malt, and Limited Edition Fourth Centennial

As we come upon St. Patrick’s Day, it’s that time of year where Irish Whiskies have a sudden surge in purchases. I recently had the chance to have more and more Irish whiskies from the batch of samples that I bought on my trip to Ireland. Irish Whiskey is the one of the fastest growing […]

Laphroaig 18 [Re-Review]

Thanks to /u/Throzen for sharing a dram of this one. Nostalgia is a set of rose coloured glasses that will forever poison the past with sugar. It makes us second guess if things were really better, or perhaps not. So when people discuss, with sadness, the discontinued Laphroaig 18 versus the Laphroaig 15 which replaced it. However I […]
