INTERMISSION: RECYCLED 06

Welcome back to another round of RECYCLED, where I quickly review the bottles leaving my shelves and decide whether I should repurchase them. Then you, too, can learn from my mistakes and treasures. It seems I polished off quite a few in a short while, but plenty of these were pretty low for over a […]

INTERMISSION: RECYCLED 05

Welcome back to another round of RECYCLED, where I quickly review the bottles that are leaving my shelves, specifically making a call on whether I should get them again so that you, too, can learn from mistakes and treasures. I’ve got a lot to cover among these nine bottlekills, so let’s jump into it right […]

How to pick a Supermarket Whisky (Waitrose, London)

Hello and welcome to Two Drams A Day. I haven’t paired any whiskies in a while, but I’m still discovering new single malts nearly every day! In the past, I’ve written an article on whisky at a duty-free shop and, more importantly, how to pick one. Today, I want to talk about whisky, which you […]

INTERMISSION: RECYCLED 04

Something in me wants to hold on to those empty bottles, at least until I bid them farewell in this pseudo eulogy on here. And I haven’t even been doing side-by-side tastings in a long time! It’s been exactly three months since my last confession! Oh well. I’m sure I’ll get back into the groove […]

INTERMISSION: RECYCLED 03

It’s time for another round of spring cleaning, where I cover my “bottlekills” in this edition of RYCYCLED. Yes, I could just throw these bottles out, but I figured that I’d take a moment for one final farewell, covering my thoughts on each in hopes of preserving them for the future. If this, for some […]

Intermission: Recycled 02

It’s time for one more bottlekill to cover. I’m pretty sure no one is actually reading these words, but, as with any weblog, this is more for me than someone else. So, I will take down these notes for the future in order to capture the past. If this ends up being of any interest, […]

Intermission: Recycled 01

It’s January 1st, 2024, and it’s time to throw out those empty bottles that I have collected over the last couple of months. Why haven’t I trashed them beforehand? Well, I wanted to see if I could write up this article reflecting on their contents first. I will admit that this was inspired by Roy’s […]

Favourite Scotch Whisky of 2023

Last year, I looked at all of my favourite tastings and picked some of my favourites that I’ve come across on this journey. This year, I’m back with my favourite selections, but not exactly “the best” since I couldn’t have possibly tried them all. Nevertheless, here are my picks of the year. I’ve limited my […]

How to Buy Scotch Whisky at a Duty-Free Shop

About a year ago, I wrote an article on What Scotch Whisky to Buy at a Duty-Free Shop. It was specifically about London’s Heathrow Airport. I took a photo of the offerings and went over the individual bottles, nearly one by one. Recently, I found myself at an airport once again, and instead of providing […]
