Whisky that hails from Scotland and is aged a minimum of three years. Single malt, grain whisky, or blended, it doesn’t matter. Scotland is known for producing some of the best whisky in the world, and we’re here to try it. Follow along and test out some of our favorites like Aberlour, Johnnie Walker, and more.
Some people try a peated scotch for the first time and fall in love with it. For most of us, myself included, peat is an acquired taste… or just not liked at all. About a year and a half ago, I did a comparison between Laphroaig vs Ardbeg which was some of the first heavily…
Macallan is one of the most popular and well known Scotch whiskies in the world. While some of their older age statements come at a very high price point, their 12 year double cask is much more affordable. Aged in Sherry seasoned American oak and European oak, I’m going to see if this pour is…
There are all types of whiskey out there, and it can be confusing with what is and what isn’t whiskey – or with what type of whiskey something is. When it comes down to it, though, the three most popular types of whiskey in the world are bourbon, scotch, and Irish whiskey. Not only are…
I have individually reviewed every Johnnie Walker from Red Label to Blue Label (Red, Black, Double Black, Green, Gold, 18 Year, Blue). Now, I had an idea of which was best, or at least my favorite. I also had an idea of which was worst, or my least favorite. However, you can’t truly escape your…
We’ve made it through the whole Johnnie Walker lineup to arrive at our final whisky, Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Blue Label is the most expensive of the series (Not counting Blue King George V). A 750ml bottle will cost you upwards of $200, but we’ve settled for a $70 200ml bottle. Is Johnnie Walker Blue…
I’m continuing on with my journey to review all of the Johnnie Walker whiskies in their core lineup (with the exception of a few). We’ve reached our 2nd to last whisky in the series, Johnnie Walker 18. What was once Johnnie Walker Gold 18 Year transformed into two whiskies – Johnnie Walker Platinum and Johnnie…
We are continuing our mission to review all of the Johnnie Walker Labels with the goal of doing a blind taste test at the end to determine which is the best Johnnie Walker. After reviewing Red, Black, Double Black, and Green, we are now at Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve. Following this review, we’ll have…
I’ve previously reviewed Johnnie Walker Red, Black, and Double Black, so now it’s time to move on the a review of Johnnie Walker Green Label. My goal is to review the whole series and have a blind tasting to figure out which is best. However, that takes quite a little money, so we’ll get to…
A while back we reviewed Johnnie Walker Black vs Red, but we decided that the worlds most popular scotch needed more coverage. So, we figured we’d just move down the line and compare Johnnie Walker Black vs Double Black. It’s been over a year since I’ve had JW Black, so I’m excited to see if…
Just the other day I did a review of Ardbeg Wee Beastie, so today we are going to review Ardbeg An Oa and compare it to Ardbeg 10 and Wee Beastie. I’ve already written multiple reviews, linked above, of Ardbeg. I’ve discussed the history of the distillery, basics of Islay Scotch and peat, as well…
A while back, I did a comparison between Ardbeg vs Laphroaig. I was very new to Islay Scotch, and, frankly, I didn’t like either. I thought they tasted like dip spit, seaweed, and dead fish. Of course, the Islay fanboys didn’t like that. While it grew on me a little bit, it was a look…
Glen, a popular term in the world of scotch. Glenfiddich and Glenlivet, Glen Ness, Glen Grant, Glenmorangie, Glen Moray, Glen Fohdry, and countless others are names of various scotch whiskies. Glen is a Gaelic word for ‘valley’, and since there are many hills in Scotland, there are many valleys, too. So, Glen Fohdry comes to…
