If you’re new here, welcome to Two Drams A Day! Each article is a personal journey where I pair two whiskies, often Scotch single malts among others, to discover the subtle differences that make each one unique and special. My approach is hands-on and intimate: I taste these whiskies side-by-side and share my real-time observations, from […]

Welcome back to another fine pairing of two single malts! Today I am tasting a scotch from a pretty new distillery, which has been quickly establishing itself among whisky connoisseurs. The spirit is young, but it’s already showing plenty of promise in the quality alone, and the people have noticed! This is my first go […]

Perhaps you’ve been following me since the beginning, or maybe you’ve just stumbled onto this write-up from the mighty forces of the Internet. In any case, welcome to another side-by-side tasting where, together with you, I compare two whiskies, pick apart their notes, and […]
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 […]

This is basically a group of friends who swap samples and try to discover what they are while sharing their thoughts on Twitter. So I’m a bit of an outsider, but I feel like I fit […]
This week was so busy and full of [other] whisky tastings that I didn’t get a chance to run through my own pairing. On Monday, I had a very interesting journey via Raasay’s cask strength bottlings from various barrels and peated malts. Tuesday, I powered through my “dry day of the week”. Sigh. Wednesday was […]
