Glen Grant 23 1985 First Cask Whisky Import Nederland

Thanks to /u/ScotchGuyTo for sharing this dram. Glen Grant isn’t something I typically go after. The ones I’ve had haven’t been what you’d call “life-changing” or “nice tasting” or in some cases “edible”. And that’s tough because when you start getting on that path it’s tough to try another whisky from that same distillery. Why? Because this […]

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 […]

Glen Grant 18

Thanks to /u/cake_my_day for this sample Recently Glen Grant 18 was awarded the Whisky of the Year by a specific whisky book. Well, it was one of three, and was the only Scotch. As we all know, different whisky reviewers will tell you different things. I may tell you about high end whiskies, and will rate them on […]

Glen Grant SMWS 9.88 “A heart-starter”

I recently had the chance to try a sample of the upcoming Toronto Whisky Society bottling. More on that in the future. Far into the future. Unless you ask or are part of it, then you’ll find out. But first we needed something to open up our tastebuds. And as an excellent hose, Igor, who […]

Glen Grant SMWS 9.94 “Jam & Jerusalem”

And finally I’ll stop posting all the SMWS whiskies I have…. traded for from the welcome kit. What, you thought I had run out already? I have a problem people. And it’s called too many damn samples. And an utter need to write. And an unwavering devotion to the 15th century Pope. Oh, wait, ignore […]

Glen Grant 29 1982 Blackadder

Thanks to /u/tvraisedme for this dram, it’s a couple of firsts for me, all in one! No, not the first time I traded with him, or first Scotch, or first 29 year old whisky. Or the oldest whisky, or a whisky with no chill filtering, or a whisky that was once in a person’s ass (not […]

Glen Grant 10

Special thanks to /u/Porkpants81 for this interesting dram. After a long day of wine trips and eating way, way too many great burgers, it was time to come back down to earth. Have something that more so not as filled with tons of beef. And this dram definitely has less beef. Which is good, because if […]
