Welcome back to another fine pairing of two single malts where I get to taste them side-by-side, jot down some notes [in real time, mind you], pick a favourite, and hopefully learn something new in the process. Won’t you join me on this journey? For today’s tasting, I’ve got a dram of the Glenturret 15-year-old, […]
Welcome back to another fine pairing of two blended whiskies, where I try them side-by-side, jot down some notes on the perceived differences, pick a favourite, and hopefully learn something new along the way. I was supposed to be tasting a blend from my Japanese whisky collection, but I needed to find a perfect companion […]
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 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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
Well, well, well… if it isn’t the trustworthy Undisclosed bottle from Berry Bros. & Rudd that is making an appearance again for today’s tasting, to be used as a benchmark in comparing the Glenturret single malt by the very same age. OK, I’ll also “warm up” with a small sample of Glenturret 12-year-old, which I […]
Welcome back to another fine side-by-side tasting of two single malts to really tease out those tiny details and then pick a favourite. With that in mind, I try to pick “comparable” whiskies by being very similar in many categories (style, age, barrel, ABV, etc.) and slightly different in others. In today’s pairing, we have […]
