Highland Park 30

Why’d I write this review series? Cause I got High(land Park). Top class reviews here peeps. So jump back to before I was reviewing. Before I knew and was wrong about a tenth of everything I’ll learn and re-learn about whisky. I’m at the Scotch Whisky Experience, enjoying whisky, having a good time in Scotland […]

Highland Park 18 1995 Gordon & MacPhail Reserve for La Maison du Whisky

Why’d I write this review series? Cause I got High(land Park). Puns are life. I have not yet been to France. I had the chance in grade 9. Looking back, I remember not wanting to go because none of my friends was going. I didn’t want to spend the money. And also, on some level, […]

Highland Park Thor

Thanks to /u/valhallacasino for this sample. Why’d I write this review series? Cause I got High(land Park). I regret nothing. I personally hunt down tasters of different whisky groups. If someone releases a limited edition, four-parter, I’m a sucker for it. And it bugs me so much when I can’t try the others. Because while “limited” may […]

Highland Park 21 1979 Adelphi

Thanks to /u/devoz for sharing a dram of this. So you’re having a whisky tasting. One of those times where you focus on your hobby and forget the horrible world outside that’s slowly burning down to the ground. First, you had a light world whisky, then you had an interesting American whiskey, and thus we can start […]

Highland Park SMWS 4.227 “Dreaming to the sounds of the sea”

Thanks to /u/devoz for this sample. This is yet another continuation of my ongoing series that I’m calling “Scotch Malts, Wife’s Selection”, in which my wife goes through my backlog of SMWS (Scotch Malt Whisky Society) samples that I haven’t reviewed yet, pours them blind, and then I review it blind. Anytime you go to a place […]

Highland Park SMWS 4.198 “Pigs in plaster”

Thanks to /u/throwboats for this sample This is a continuation of my ongoing series that I’m calling “Scotch Malts, Wife’s Selection”, in which my wife goes through my backlog of SMWS (Scotch Malt Whisky Society) samples that I haven’t reviewed yet, pours them blind, and then I review it blind. Recently I’ve been trying to take better pictures […]

Highland Park SMWS 4.217 “Nordic Nosh”

This is a continuation of my ongoing series that I’m calling “Scotch Malts, Wife’s Selection”, in which my wife goes through my backlog of SMWS (Scotch Malt Whisky Society) samples that I haven’t reviewed yet, pours them blind, and then I review it blind. Somehow the Nordic cultures have weathered a lot of the storms of […]

Three Douglas Laing Double Barrel Offerings

Thanks to /u/cake_my_day for two of these samples. There are blends, blended malts, and vattings. Today we’re going to look at blended malts. Douglas Laing has an entire division devoted to the idea of taking two different whiskies from different distilleries, blending them together, and making something new. But not just two different whiskies. Two different single […]

Highland Park 15 Fire & 17 Ice

Recently Highland Park released two offerings. I was sad to see the whole Valhalla vibe not used for these, however for those of you who love the giant wooden boxes. I have decided to hold out mine to use for my ashes when I die. Be funny for people who try to steal my widow’s […]

jj Xmas Mystery Samples 10 & 16

Thank you to /u/j4ni for these samples. You truly are a King among men. Out of nowhere this guy sends me not one, but two mystery drams. Hope he enjoys mine! NOTE: If you go past the Mysterio image and don’t want Spoilers for the jj Xmas Mystery Samples 10 & 16, turn back now. jj […]
