Welcome back to another fine tasting of two single malts, where I can compare them side-by-side to truly understand the differences, pick out a favourite, and hopefully learn something new along the way. Won’t you join me in this fun adventure, and if you dig this, maybe you will stick around for more? Today, I find […]
Welcome back to another tasting of two whiskies, where I compare them side-by-side to understand the differences, pick out a favourite, and hopefully learn something new along the way. Most of the time, I cover single malts, but today I’m turning to blended malts. In the left corner of the ring, we’ve got an 18-year-old […]
Welcome back to another fine tasting of two single malts, where I compare them side-by-side to really understand the difference, pick a favourite, and hopefully learn something new along the way. As usual, I’ve got a rather exciting pair to face off today (or at least that’s how I feel at the beginning of this […]
Welcome back to another fine tasting of two single malts, where I compare them side-by-side to really understand the difference, pick out a favourite, and hopefully learn something new along the way. For today’s tasting, I pull out the 8th dram from my Cask Explorer‘s 2022 Advent Calendar (Diamond Edition) and find a 30ml bottle […]
And we’re back for another fine sampling of two whiskies where I get to peel apart the tiny differences by tasting them side-by-side. In keeping up with my recent journey across the Japanese offerings, and while the last few drams I’ve tasted are still fresh in my mind (see how Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt goes […]
Welcome back to another fine pairing of two single malts side-by-side. Er… I’m off. These are not single malts but rather Japanese blended (aka vatted) malts from Nikka. And while one is just named Pure Malt, the other has a coloured suffix after that. In fact, I have discovered that there are also Black and […]
As mentioned in my previous post, I’d like to spend more time with Japanese Whisky and see what the craze is all about. I just spent about a month travelling around Japan and individually tasting various expressions, but now it’s time for a more clinical approach, where I pair two selected drams side by side […]
I just came back from spending nearly a month in Japan, where, as you can imagine, I’ve had the opportunity to explore a lot more local products that have not been exported to other regions. I’ve visited a few distilleries, and I’ve had plenty of drams, not to mention the abundance of beer, sake, and […]
Welcome back to another fine pairing of two single malts, where I explore the tiny variations of different casks, the maturation process, and, of course, the final product as delivered by an independent bottler, even if the whisky is from the same producer. In this case, both of these drams are from Craigellachie distillery, both […]
Welcome back to another side-by-side tasting, where I try two whiskies and see which one I like and, more importantly, why. This is how I learn, folks, and I hope you’ll learn along with me. Up for a sip is the 8th dram from Cask Explorer’s 2022 Advent Calendar (Emerald Edition). I know, it’s May, […]
