Welcome back to another fun tasting of two single malts, where I get to explore the minuscule differences between a carefully selected pairing when drinking them side-by-side, take down these notes in real-time as I sip on the whiskies, pick out a winner, and hopefully learn something new along the way. If you enjoy this particular […]
Welcome back to another great pairing of two single malts, where I spend the time peeling apart their intricate layers, choosing a favourite, and hopefully learning something new along the way. Why don’t you join me and follow along! Up for a face-off today are two interesting expressions from the Highlands of Scotland. We’ve got […]
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 […]
It’s time for a detour and self-reflection. After all, these words are as much about the author as they are about the drink. The two bring something to the table, and in the process blend reality into these words. So, I’ve noticed, that not only have I not written in the last two weeks but […]
Here are two bottles of Caol Ila from my very own collection which I have been sipping on for quite some time now. The truth is, I’m not a big fan of either. I think I am finally beginning to accept that I don’t like the ex-wine finish in my scotch. The only reason I […]
Today’s pairing is courtesy of @TweetTastings which partnered with Dalmore to showcase three of its latest offerings, plus a special and an exclusive preview [more on that below]. I’ve been a fan of Dalmore for nearly two decades now [possibly more] and feel like it always had a presence on my shelves. The 18-year-old in […]
I’m nearly finished with the Scotch Whisky Advent Calendar presented last year by Drinks By The Dram. Yesterday, I was impressed with the inclusion of The Macallan 12-year-old Double Cask, and today’s 23rd dram of this journey is a mysterious Darkness 8-Year-Old with a Sherry Finish. I seem to recognize this label and quickly jump […]
For today’s pairing, I sort of cheated a little bit. I usually drink two drams, but today I have all three. Alas, it’s all for science, you see! I had an un-opened dram of Bowmore 15-Year-Old that came with my Scotch Whisky Advent Calendar, which was the “next in the queue” for this journey, but […]
It’s been about a week since my last pairing, not that I have not been trying, mind you. I even order two drams in a restaurant to find out the subtle differences in the whiskies that I love. The night prior, I’ve celebrated Burns Night with the newly found friends at London’s Soho Whisky Club […]
