Welcome back to another entry in my journey of whisky, in particular, Scotch single malts, where I taste two unique expressions side-by-side, take down some notes on how they compare to each other, pick out a favourite, and hopefully learn something new in the process. I think it’s unlikely that you’ve landed on this page […]
Welcome back to another fine tasting of two single malts, where I get to document my journey of exploring these whiskies in more detail by comparing them side-by-side, picking out a favourite, and hopefully learning something new along the way. I’m pretty excited about this one because it promises to be a fantastic tasting, for […]
In December of last year (2021), I opened up my first whisky advent calendar and was greeted with a dram of Aerolite Lyndsay. More than a pleasant memory, I ended up capturing this experience with my very first words on Two Drams a Day. Since then, I have published a total of 80 write-ups! Well, […]
In my tasting of Glengoyne 21-year-old vs GlenDronach 21-year-old, I was shocked to find the latter left a pretty undesired sulfuric aftertaste on my palate, especially after adding some water to this single malt. I’m also beginning to wonder about oxidization in this bottle, which, if I had to admit, has been open on my shelves […]
I admit, I am more than a bit impressed with the Glengoyne distillery, particularly its 21-year-old bottling from the core range, which I have compared against a same-aged single cask pour from an independent bottler Douglas Laing, in the last round. In that writeup, I also dropped a “sherry-bomb” reference, so that got me thinking […]
This is going to be another fine pairing. Mostly because followers of The Macallan are also big fans of the GlenDronach. These distilleries are from the same region [although the GlenDronach has been re-classified as a Highland whisky] and produce a fantastic single malt pretty much in the same style. Although The Macallan has seriously […]
I think I got a bit overexcited about the advent calendar selection, and in the last entry, I’ve contrasted two very different drams. As a result of them landing on the opposite ends of the spectrum, it was almost too easy to discount and oust. This time I’m doing something a little bit different, continuing […]
