Welcome back to another round of RECYCLED, where I quickly review the bottles that are leaving my shelves, specifically making a call on whether I should get them again so that you, too, can learn from mistakes and treasures. I’ve got a lot to cover among these nine bottlekills, so let’s jump into it right […]
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 […]
Welcome back to another entry in my fascinating journey with whisky. Today I take a detour from the regularly scheduled programming [where I usually try two different whiskies side by side] and instead call out an intermission, in which I’ll play with blending whiskies on my own. I’ve been interested in doing this for a […]
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 […]
Up for today’s tasting is a pair of single malts from Bruichladdich. I’m pretty excited about this one, folks, mainly because I think that my personal comparison pick should create a perfect companion. We’ll see how that goes. The first dram is courtesy of the Cask Explorer‘s Advent Calendar (Diamond Edition). It’s a 26-year-old single […]
Now, here we have the good ol’ Ardbeg! This one is a 10-year-old single malt from Islay, which, so far, has won a round against the same-aged Ledaig from Tobermory. In general, I think that Ardbeg is one of the top stable favourites among the peat lovers of the world, but here comes Port Charlotte of 10 years in age, produced by the Bruichladdich distillery.
Today’s side by side sip is courtesy of another [paid for] tasting I participated in this past Monday at Soho’s Milroy’s. In this case, “rare find” is not a playful description of some uncovering that I have partaken in, but rather a name of an actual independent bottler’s range, literally called Rare Find Whisky. It’s […]
