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 […]

High West Midwinter Night’s Dram – Acts 2.1 & 3.2

Thanks to /u/devoz and /u/stinkysauce for these samples. Hey… about to hit 750 total reviews. That’s 3/4 of 1000, and like… a lot. I should do something special. Not like “short bus special”, because that movie was awesome and you should watch it. Just not with your parents. There’s a lot of sex in it. No, rather […]

Blackadder The Legendary 23 [Review #700]

Thanks to /u/Schockwaves for this dram. I saved an odd dram for this milestone. 700 reviews. I’m quite surprised I’m not permanently drunk at this point. A few months ago, I noticed I had never had anything from Blackadder independent bottlers. And that bugged me, for no other reason than I’m a nerd. I feel […]
