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 […]
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 […]
It’s time for another round of spring cleaning, where I cover my “bottlekills” in this edition of RYCYCLED. Yes, I could just throw these bottles out, but I figured that I’d take a moment for one final farewell, covering my thoughts on each in hopes of preserving them for the future. If this, for some […]
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, from […]
It’s time for one more bottlekill to cover. I’m pretty sure no one is actually reading these words, but, as with any weblog, this is more for me than someone else. So, I will take down these notes for the future in order to capture the past. If this ends up being of any interest, […]
It’s January 1st, 2024, and it’s time to throw out those empty bottles that I have collected over the last couple of months. Why haven’t I trashed them beforehand? Well, I wanted to see if I could write up this article reflecting on their contents first. I will admit that this was inspired by Roy’s […]
Welcome back to another fun 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 whiskies, pick a winner, and hopefully learn something new along the way. First up is the 12th dram from Cask Explorers’ […]
Welcome back to another fantastic pairing of two single malts! Up for tasting today is the dram behind door number 5 of the Cask Explorer‘s Advent Calendar, Diamond Edition, and it’s a very welcome surprise from Fox Fitzgerald under the Peat’s Beast label, which is a 30-year-old secret Scotch whisky. It’s becoming difficult for me […]
Welcome back to another fine pairing of two single malts, with the purpose of teasing out those subtle differences and the minuscule details when tasting them side-by-side. I’m always excited to share my thoughts with you, and today, I’m happy to taste one of my favourite drams from Laphroaig! Along the two expressions I am about […]
So the other day I cracked open one of my advent calendars from Cask Explorers and was immediately reminded of how much I enjoyed that entire journey. Today I’m following that up, but doing something a little different. Instead of going for the second dram in the box, I’m popping open the first dram from […]
