2001 Hepburn’s Bowmore 14 Years Review
I cracked this 2001 Hepburn's Bowmore 14 Years for our Malt Nuts Sherried Bowmore tasting and it was hands-down my favorite whisky of the night. The closest to it in the lineup was the old 15-year Lamrig, but even that was a somewhat distant second. When it comes to OB Bowmore … [Read more...] about 2001 Hepburn’s Bowmore 14 Years Review
1996 Old & Rare Bowmore 24 Years Review
I was given this 1996 Old & Rare Bowmore 24 Years as a gift and I have to say... it's one of the best whisky gifts I've ever received. Not just because it looks fancy, is old, and expensive. But because it's really damn good. Yeah, I know I'm spoiling the review, but it's … [Read more...] about 1996 Old & Rare Bowmore 24 Years Review
1997 First Editions Bowmore 14 Years Review
First Editions is a Hunter Laing label, which I didn't know until after I had tasted this 1997 First Editions Bowmore 14 Years. Not that my perception would have changed any, but it's one of those weird, little, nerdy things I like to know when I'm picking something up; I like to … [Read more...] about 1997 First Editions Bowmore 14 Years Review
1995 Signatory Glenburgie 19 Review
"DUDE, you gotta try this Glenburgie" isn't a phrase often uttered. In fact, you might go your entire whisky drinking life without hearing it. Not because they make bad whisky, this 1995 Signatory Glenburgie 19 is proof of that, but because it's an often overlooked, and … [Read more...] about 1995 Signatory Glenburgie 19 Review
Trader Joe’s Highland Single Malt Sherry Cask Review
I don't know what prompted me to pick up this Trader Joe's Highland Single Malt Sherry Cask. Could have been the word sherry, could have been the $30 price point, could have been the combo. Either way I did something I told myself I wasn't going to do again and that was buy TJ … [Read more...] about Trader Joe’s Highland Single Malt Sherry Cask Review
Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2011 Review
Would you believe me if I said the Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2011 sucks? No? Yeah, I wouldn't believe me either. We all know Bruichladdich puts out good stuff and that they continue to push their own boundaries with cask maturations and cask types. Like all Bruichladdich … [Read more...] about Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2011 Review
Bear Fight American Single Malt Review
Bear Fight American Single Malt might be "the future of American Whiskey", and that's not necessarily a good thing. It was created by Next Century Spirits (NCS). "a leading full-service distilled spirits company" (who I've never heard of till now). Looking at their site, they … [Read more...] about Bear Fight American Single Malt Review
Hiram Walker Imperial Blended Whiskey Review
Based on the glass code, I'm putting this Hiram Walker Imperial Blended Whiskey to be from around 1973. Being made from 100% American Whiskies, it's likely a combination of light whiskey (majority) and some kind of flavor whiskey like bourbon or bourbon mash in used casks. And … [Read more...] about Hiram Walker Imperial Blended Whiskey Review
High West Campfire Batch 22F29 Review
High West Campfire Batch 22F29 is a blend of High West Rye (100% Rye), MGP Rye (95/5), MGP Bourbon (21% rye) and a peaty blend of Scottish Malts (100% Malted Barley). It has a nice new label, but like with the Midwinter night, it's missing some legally required … [Read more...] about High West Campfire Batch 22F29 Review
