Woodford Reserve Double Oaked

Quick thanks to /u/Devoz for this dram. I’ve been wanting to try some more Woodford Reserve, and well, this allowed me to do it. Woodford Reserve Double Oaked is the first ever line extension from the company. After being a one bourbon company for 16 years, they decided to branch out. This bourbon is the standard […]

Parker’s Heritage Collection 7th Edition Promise of Hope

Continuing on with my “Better finish some American Whiskeys” unofficial saga, we have a sample I received in a trade from /u/Devoz. Thanks again /u/Devoz, we’ll have to do it again. I’ll admit it: I really had not idea what Parker’s Heritage Collection 7th Edition Promise of Hope was or what the Parker’s Heritage Collection […]

Corsair Rasputin / Corsair Triple Smoke

Corsair Distillery is an interesting outfit. And to continue on my American Whiskey kick, they’re next up on the chopping block. First up, thanks to /u/tvraisedme for the sample of Corsair Rasputin, and /u/mentel42 for the Corsair Triple Smoke. The story behind the distillery is one made out of every homemakers dream book (with ponies on it). […]

Jim Beam Black

So we’re kicking off a new plan I have going on. First up, work is starting to increase again, so I’ll be making sure I write these up and get them ready the night before. Irregular posting commence! More importantly though I’ll be aiming to surpass 50 reviews on /r/bourbon, and in the process go […]

Isle of Jura Prophecy

One okay Jura deserves another. That’s what my ancestor’s used to say… until they were horribly maimed by Islanders who felt losing their land was an affront. But enough about my checkered ancestry, first up I’d like to thank /u/Devoz[1] from the bottom of my potentially sinned family heart for a sample of this dram. […]

Isle of Jura 16 Diurach’s Own

First world problem time! YAY! So I have a few too many samples I’ve collected over the years. And seeing as how some of them are ones I bought in Scotland the last time I was there, I should probably aim to finish them up before going to Scotland again. That and my wallet is […]

Clynelish Signatory 18 / Caol Ila Distiller’s Edition 2010 [Mystery Reviews]

Special thanks to /u/ounknownto for finishing up our months long swap! In it he gave me two mystery drams, and as I’m the type of person who typically wants to do them while they’re hot (not literally, I’m not boiling my whisky), and because I had quite the productive day, and mostly because I’ve already gone […]

Tamdhu 8 2005 Signatory Cask Strength First Fill Sherry Butt

Thanks to /u/LetThereBeR0ck for a sample of this one. I also stole his picture. Because I’m a horrible person. Go upload something he’s done lately, it’ll make me feel less like a heel. Yeah, don’t buy this. It’s made forcibly by evil terrorists who liquefy cute, endangered animals and steal cancer cures. Tamdhu is a whisky […]

Macallan Sienna

So I’m at a high price bar. It’s after an exam, I’m somewhat tipsy, dressed well enough to go to work, and we’re listening to a bard butcher some Beatles tunes.. I know what you’re saying: Yeah, I’d order Collingwood Canadian rye as well, as the prices at the Royal York fancy hotel are probably […]

Woodford Reserve Distiller’s Select

I think I ended up going for a Horse theme without trying First Tyroconnell, and now the bourbon of the Kentucky Derby and the Breeder’s cup. You’d think I actually like the giant half ton 5 year olds, but no. I don’t. A horse is a large dog that I can’t wrestle with that gets […]
