Auchentoshan 21 1975 Selected Cask Vatting

What was the occasion? A few months ago, for my birthday, I went out for some whiskies. I had just gotten over parts of long-Covid that had killed my taste buds and sense of smell. Within one week of celebrating I would injure myself while curling, and end up not being able to write it up. […]

3 Independently Bottled Auchentoshan Scotches

Among my whisky friends, who I used to have tastings with before these end times came upon us, I am known as one of two people who gush about Lowlands. And what Lowland can I afford without taking a mortgage? That’s right, Auchentoshan. But all of you have had Auchentoshan once or twice. And you’ll […]

Auchentoshan 23 Maltbarn

Recently there was a nice Toronto Whisky Society tasting in which a private whisky owner shared an interesting group of whiskies with a group of us. The line-up was, in a word, prettyfuckingamazingballs. And if that isn’t a word, I suggest Webster’s contact me, because if an emoji can make it in, the above should […]

Auchentoshan 22 The Good Spirits Co.

Thanks to a friend for sharing this dram! People who follow me on various social media type things, or at least read my reviews, know that there’s a special place in my heart for Lowlands. I can’t say why I love drinking flowers. Perhaps it’s due to something that happened to me as a child. […]

Auchentoshan Bartender’s Malt 2017

Auchentoshan. A company that, when I bring it up around whisky fans, has different results. A lot of whisky fans, of whom I sometimes crawl out of my hole and talk to, haven’t had a lot of Auchentoshan. They had the 12, or the new American wood, or some one that was an entry malt, […]

Mystery M3 (The Smoked Series)

Thanks to /u/devoz and /u/xile_ for this sample Quick recap, if you haven’t read the last 2 reviews (Skip to the Bold part that says “START HERE” otherwise). Recently I made a point of stating that, if given an Arran, I’d identify the profile. This started both devoz and xile_ thinking, which is never good for me. You see, […]

Auchentoshan 21 [MYSTERY]

Thank you to /u/scotchable for this mystery sample Mysteries: I’m bad at them, and can’t guess a damn. However I always do them when I receive them, otherwise we’re all going to forget it and waste whisky. No one wants that. Also, spoiler: Got this one wrong, even though I’ve had it before. Been a few years. […]

Multiple Mystery Whiskies

As part of one of the many whisky groups I’m part of, we all decided we’d be dicks to one another, but in a nice way. So we all showed up, each with 2 whiskies: One we want empty and one mystery. And then, without knowing the order, and leaving that up to /u/31mak , we drank […]

Auchentoshan 25 1978 [Feather’s Flight Review Set #17]

Went to The Feathers Pub for my belated birthday. In my family, we don’t really love you if we celebrate your birthday on the day you were born. It’s against the rules. Also December is busy as fuck. With my father paying and my cousins nicely coming along, we ate English food (that I love) […]

Auchentoshan SMWS 5.42 “Bathed in a baker’s shop”

See a trend yet in my posting? I give you a couple more to figure it out. A few months ago I was on the Internet, and for once, not playing video games, watching videos, pleasuring myself, or all three. No, instead I was chatting with other Whisky nerds. And one of said whisky nerds […]
