Ardmore 22 2000 Whisky Sponge

What was the occasion: I had a buddy who was debating buying this whisky. Due to many factors in my life at this time, I don’t spend as long drinking as I used to. Not going into that. Whatever the reason eventually drives me to drink… Wait, that sounded negative, let me be very clear, a […]

Benrinnes 19 1995 Old Malt Cask Hunter Laing

What was the occasion: It’s a whisky tasting. And it’s been 19 years since the Leafs made it past the first round of the playoffs… Wait, the night we drank this whisky, they made it… Coincidence? Completely! Let’s move on! What whisky did we review? Benrinnes 19 1995 Old Malt Cask Hunter Laing, a dusty.. Wait… […]

Tamdhu 34 1966 Old Malt Cask Douglas Laing

What was the occasion: I’m able to walk short distances again! Thus I brought my wife out for a steak dinner for Valentine’s day (not on that day, I’m not crazy) at a restaurant known for their steak festival. My wife loves beef, and they happen to have a decent whisky list with a handful of […]

Tormore 31 1988 The Whisky Agency Heads & Tails

What was the occasion: I’m at my end-of-year tasting, meaning it’s time for all of us to open bottles that cost a bit more, which we, as North Americans, assume are better. Luckily we’re all whisky nerds, so we have some idea of what we’re buying… sometimes. Most of the time. What whisky did we review? […]

Ardlair 11 2010 A.D. Rattray Cask Collection

Thanks to /u/devoz for this dram. What was the occasion: No amount of high anxiety, painful recuperation of an undiagnosed fracture, or really anything else beyond a global pandemic is going to keep me from our year-end review. Our first in three years. So yeah, I’m there, I’m in pain, part way through I self medicated with some […]

Glen Moray 23 1996 Cadenhead Wood Range – Wine Cask

Hehehehe… “wood”. Alright, got that out of the way. For those of you who either never saw this particular SKU from Cadenhead or who don’t allow your childlike happiness to take over in moments of silliness, we’re reviewing a whisky from the Wood Range, which used a variety of different casks to show off the […]

Glen Moray 22 1996 Archives

So I got Covid while I was working on this review set. Before I had it and then eventually lost my ability to taste acidity (for 2 months), I reviewed the next one. Then I have been attempting to heal. Not to mention I’d really be happier hiding from wolves and doing very little during […]

Glen Moray 14 2006 Warehouse 1

Wait, what is Warehouse 1? Okay, I might be getting ahead of myself. We’re diving into Glen Moray because I realised it’s been a few years since I’ve reviewed them, had some samples around, and wondered how I feel about them. I do similar things with different foods and chain restaurants, all to question what […]

Glen Moray 10 2008 Hand Bottled at the Distillery

Glen Moray used to show up to tastings on a semi-regular basis. Now a quick review of my reviews will show that I haven’t done one in quite awhile. Why? Well first off, we had one whisky drinker who liked Glen Moray, and was the one to purchase them. Unfortunately life happened and we don’t […]

Glenburgie 22 1998 Single Malts of Scotland

Thanks to /u/devoz for sharing a sample of this with me. It’s a weird moment to have two whiskies that are so different but the names are off by 1 number. And not a wild swing either, one is just a few years different. So the last whisky I reviewed was Glenburgie 21 1998 Single Malts of […]
