Brora 25 1981 Duncan Taylor Rare Auld (1400th Scotch Review)

I apologize, I don’t know where I obtained this sample, or from whom. Was it from /u/unclimbability? I have the opportunity to speak to whisky fans with different experiences than my own. In a fun discussion one mentioned he was going to be visiting Brora and doing the tour. To be completely blunt I had not even considered […]

4 GlenDronach Single Casks

Whenever I hit some milestone, some number divisible evenly by 100, I wonder if I should do something special. I have some reviews I can hold back, or put together. However since (at the time of writing this) I’m since bouncing back into normality of not working and doing school at the same time for […]

Miltonduff SMWS 72.47 “Burnt Spotted Dick” [1,000th Scotch Review]

Thanks to /u/ForbiddenWaffle for pouring me this dram. It’s quite amazing that almost six years ago, I woke up early in the morning, listening to the rooster cockadoodle-doo, and decided I was going to post. Not post as in a hard cylindrical object standing at attention, post a review. Over 1564 reviews later, I still worry about […]

Ledaig in 4 Parts [1,500th REVIEW]

Thanks to /u/xile_ and /u/devoz for giving me these samples. Somehow, without falling over and turning into a puddle of alcohol, I’ve hit 1,500 whisky reviews. It’s an odd moment. I started out with the mentality that people only read my reviews because they were funny, I mentioned pop culture moments, and I made dick jokes. Especially the dick […]

Mystery Scotch Review #1 from /u/devoz [Scotch review #750]

Thank you to /u/devoz for a random mystery for this milestone dram. This is the first of many celebratory drams that I am having for my 750th Scotch reviews. Turns out I’ve had quite a few milestones so I have to stretch these out. Also I have some high end drams to drink. I know, it’s a […]

1792 Ridgemont Reserve Single Barrel

Thanks to my father for opening up this one and letting me have a sample. I mean… I bought it for him, so I couldn’t exactly do that. Be kinda a dick move. 1792 Ridgemont Reserve Single Barrel is a bit different for a single cask. While yes, there are various stores that have obtained their […]

Caol Ila Reviews [1000th whisky network review/600th Scotch review]

Nearly 5 years ago I posted my first review on reddit, with the intent of starting to review whisky. I had just come back from visiting the UK for the first of three trips. On two more trips I would do 50 reviews in the UK to make up for the 0 on the first […]

Laphroaig 25 (2011) [900th Review]

Thanks to /u/xile_ for the sample. So I made a big deal out of hitting 800 reviews recently. And by recently, I mean 100 reviews ago. I feel a little sheepish this being my 900th review. Didn’t mean to turn them around so quickly. Guess I had a rough couple of months. Especially after some great […]

Bruichladdich Octomore 500th Scotch Review (01.1, 06.1, 06.2, 06.3, Discovery, 07.1, 07.2, 07.3, 07.4)

Thanks to /u/devoz, /u/distillasian, /u/neversafeforlife, /u/xile_, and /u/whiskylads for the swaps. Oh, and this is my 500th Scotch review. So I’ll take my crown please. A lot of people here have been in the situation that Bruichladdich must have been prior to releasing Octomore. There they are, making a living on Islay, surrounded by history […]

Glendronach 43 Year Old Single Cask (1971, #2920) [800th Whisky Review]

First off, yes. This is my 800th review on the whisky network. I’m now about 1% of the database. Part of it. A good chunk, at least. Second, thank you to /u/xile_ for this sample. I owe you, and thanks for giving me a milestone worthy dram to review. It’s kinda funny too, because a few […]
