Two Stacks Smoke & Mirrors Imperial PX Finish

What was the occasion: Whisky tasting bitches! Wait, that sounds like I made whisky from female dogs… let’s start over. It’s a whisky tasting! Yeah, it’s been too long, and these are great. How are we starting? With a mystery from /u/devoz , of course. One he promises will wack my brain from here to Toledo, which is […]

Two Stacks Dram in a Can

Thanks to my wife for buying me a can… I think. It’s whiskey in a can, I can’t wax philosophical about it. I started writing and then looked back at the empty can and… well, it’s whiskey in a can! Okay, I got that out of my system, let’s move on. Two Stacks is not, […]

Irish 31 1990 Archives

We’re well past the point where one can ignore Irish whiskey. Who made this? I don’t know. Don’t care at this point. Seriously, in 1972 there were only two whiskey distilleries in operation in Ireland. And both were owned by Irish Distillers (the company). Compare that to 1887, when there were 28 in total. As […]

Proper No. Twelve

Thanks to whomever found devoz and handed him a sample of this for me… I think? I know next to little about the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) or MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) in general, nor will I pretend to understand it. I can’t watch people do sports because I’d rather take part in a sport, even if […]

Irish Single Malt 17 2002 The Whisky Agency

Thanks to ScotchGuy_TO for sharing this dram Quick version: Finally was able to go to a tasting. This is a review of one of the checks notes Holy FUCK 12 whiskies? Damn, I went hard like Colossus eating nothing but Viagra for a week! Irish whiskey has changed even in my short (roughly 10 years) time having whiskey as […]

Tipperary 17 2002 Rum Cask

It’s tough when you’re starting a distillery. There’s a very, very high barrier to entry. We live in a time when the richest among us demand higher returns on investment, meaning if you have an idea and no money then you may as well not have an idea at all. Or you can keep that […]

Knappogue Castle 1951

Thanks to /u/Scotchguy_TO for this sample. I enjoy Irish Whiskey. A few years ago that was, for some reason, a statement that had people up in arms in some whiskey circles. Now it’s fine. Thank goodness. Irish Whiskey used to be the norm. Prior to the coffey still it was the drink of choice. Things changed, there […]

Irish Single Malt Extra Old Acla Selection / 27 Acla Selection

Thanks to /u/cake_my_day for pouring me these samples. There’s a lot of great reviewers on the internet. Something I envy, and attempted to do myself, is the idea of organizing one’s samples in order to have milestone reviews. You know what I’m talking about: Person posts their 20th review, cracks open a nice 20+ year Laphroaig, pats […]

Teeling 10 2008 Single Cask

Thanks to /u/smoked_herring[+2] for this sample. As Teeling continues to grow and age it’s own whiskey, we’re going to see more of their whiskey in the mix and less of what they’ve sourced (which they haven’t officially disclosed, and I’m not going to mention since it always turns into a debate when I do). Part of me […]

Cooley 15 1992 A.D. Rattray

I enjoy Irish whiskey. So brave, am I right? Enjoying what used to account for 60% of all whiskey sold on the planet? What next, am I going to express my love for chocolate or how much rice I eat(I used to avoid rice, that’s a subject for another time)? Joking aside, I enjoy the […]
