So yesterday, I popped open the 7th entry from That Boutique-y Whisky Company (TBWC) 2022 Advent Calendar, and it was a 5-year-old dram of Corn Whisky. Now, I usually compare two whiskies side-by-side here. But honestly, [at that point in time] I didn’t have a corn whisky in my personal collection. I also wasn’t sure […]
Welcome back to another instalment of my never-ending journey of pairing two single malts and trying to find out which one I like more and, most importantly, why. This is an ongoing refinement of my understanding of Scotch whiskies [and more], and hopefully, you’ll learn something along the way as well. In today’s tasting, I’m […]
Welcome back to another instalment of my whisky adventure, where I try out some Scotch side by side to see what the differences are in the expressions and then pick a favourite. Up for a tasting today is the 7th dram from the Cask Explorer’s 2022 Advent Calendar (Emerald Edition), which I am patiently researching […]
Hello friends and internet crawlers. Welcome to another exciting side-by-side tasting of two single malts, where I capture my thoughts as I sip these two whiskies! I am excited about today’s tasting because none of it is Scotch! The first dram, courtesy of That Boutique-y Whisky Company (TBWC) Advent Calendar from 2022, and it’s the […]
Hello, friends and new followers, and welcome back to another side-by-side tasting of two single malts! Today is another interesting pairing, where I dive into the very subtle differences between two [nearly identical] whiskies from the very same distillery! Both drams are from Linkwood, which is owned by Diageo, but each comes from a different […]
Here we are, folks, getting ready for another fine pairing of two single malts to see if we can peel apart those intricate layers that make up the unique profile of each whisky. Up for a tasting is the sixth dram from Cask Explorer‘s Advent Calendar, Diamon Edition, and it’s a 22-year-old Scotch from a […]
Welcome back to another side-by-side tasting in which I explore two single malts, or, in this case, a blend and a single malt, to see how they stand up against each other. The first dram is courtesy of Cask Explorers‘ Advent Calendar from 2022, Emerald Edition, and it’s a 30ml bottle behind door number 6 […]
I’m setting up another side-by-side tasting for tonight, and this is one that I’m really looking forward to! You see, I am comparing two single malts, both from the same distillery and of the same age, but one is a “standard” distillery bottling from their core range, while the other is an independent bottling by […]
Welcome back to another fantastic pairing of two single malts! Up for tasting today is the dram behind door number 5 of the Cask Explorer‘s Advent Calendar, Diamond Edition, and it’s a very welcome surprise from Fox Fitzgerald under the Peat’s Beast label, which is a 30-year-old secret Scotch whisky. It’s becoming difficult for me […]
Welcome back to another fine side-by-side tasting! And today, I am not just trying out single malts! Up for a bout is a pair of two single grains from two Scotch Lowland distilleries, which still makes them whisky and still makes them “scotch”. We’ll discuss the particulars as we discover these together, but first, we […]
