Welcome back to another round of RECYCLED, where I quickly review the bottles leaving my shelves and decide whether I should repurchase them. Then you, too, can learn from my mistakes and treasures. It seems I polished off quite a few in a short while, but plenty of these were pretty low for over a […]
Hello, whisky enthusiasts, and welcome back to another exciting side-by-side tasting of two single malts, where I get to explore the minuscule differences between a carefully selected pairing, take down these notes in real-time as I sip on the drams, pick a winner, and hopefully learn something new in the process. Perhaps no one will […]
I’m back for another side-by-side tasting of two single malts. Finally! For the last week, for one reason or another, I’ve been drinking some pretty low-grade blended whiskies (Scotch and Japanese), but I do not regret the experience. It highlights the difference between widely available consumer-shelf blends as peddled by Diageo and Co. and some […]
Welcome back to another fine pairing of two single malts, where I get to taste them side-by-side, pick out the slight differences between them, take down these notes in real-time, pick a favourite, and hopefully learn something new in the process. That’s right, I will do all that in the next hour on this fine […]
Welcome to another fine side-by-side whisky tasting, although I doubt that you will be randomly landing here from a search via the internet – it’s not like “English Whisky” or “Staoisha” are some of the most popular keywords. I feel like I could be writing about unique whisky for years, and yet, most of my […]
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 […]
Hello, friends and whisky enthusiasts. Old, new and everything in between! 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 […]
I feel honoured and privileged to have been invited to the Blind Tasting Consortium organized by Brian’s Malt Musings. 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 […]
Writing about whisky during the ongoing insanity of current events is no different than writing about music. In the process, with these words, these sounds, and the warming feeling at the centre of my body, I seek refuge from the unnecessary clash. It’s still a little difficult to truly ‘enjoy’ either one of these activities, […]
