The Single Cask Nation Dalmore 12 Year Old (750 ml bottle of liquid amber) 27 Aug 2013 | 08:25 pm
Tasting notes: The nose on this whisky is unlike any other I've ever smelled. Or smelt. Or dealt. The heady mix of aromas is completely integrated, and it's quite difficult to pull apart, but...
The Kilchoman Machir Bay 2013 (30 ml Kickstarter kickstart) 24 Aug 2013 | 09:55 pm
Tasting notes: The Kilchoman Machir Bay 2013 edition. Nosing like a fiery-spirited mustang that's been rolling around and kicking up its heels on a grassy oasis in a hidden valley in Utah, the s...
On the Whiskey Explorers Club 23 Aug 2013 | 08:10 am
The April edition of the Whiskey Explorers Club sat on my desk for a long time, and I left it there for many reasons, none of them very good ones. I was traveling with John and Bill early in the summ...
The Single Cask Nation Laphroaig 6 Year (750 ml end of summer bottle) 21 Aug 2013 | 07:47 am
Tasting notes: On the nose, this is classic Laphroaig minus the seaweed. It’s like an exceedingly bright and almost angry Gibson guitar note strummed on newly-strung strings. But it’s even bri...

The Malt Impostors Abroad: The Impostors visit Balvenie 15 Aug 2013 | 08:57 am

The Tormore 29 Year 1984 from The Exclusive Casks (30 ml ineluctable mini) 11 Aug 2013 | 03:03 am
Tasting notes: If Big Brother watched over the Tormore 1984, Big Brother got it right. The nose is moldy Bartlett pear, a sweet over-ripe note that in a different universe might be a harbinger o...
The Angel's Envy Rye (100 ml tall boy mini) 8 Aug 2013 | 10:07 pm
Tasting notes: This rye smells like it was aged in an elm canoe that had been going down Class Six rapids for a year straight. But rather than try to fit all of that on the label, the distiller...
