Not bad for $42.99, but surprisingly underwhelming for a Glenrothes. Every bottling I've had from them has been fantastic, and this one left me just thinking, "meh". Read More...

My wife saw this in the store and thought it looked really nice. She knows Glenfiddich is one of my favorites, so she picked it up for me. Really good stuff. Read More...

I got a mini of this in my stocking last Christmas. It was fantastic. I've been meaning to pick up a bottle ever since, but just never got around to it. Read More...

I know it's only been a week, but I'm on a Macallan kick. I liked that last one so much I figured I'd pick up another special edition. It wasn't as good as the Classic Cut, but I liked it. Read More...

I've only ever had one Macallan before. It was 12-year. I don't know why I haven't purchased more of their line. Read More...

This is the second release in the Experimental series. I'd love to get all three in the set, but the third is a $200 21-year. Yikes. Read More...

My wife picked me up something new today. Cardhu. It's one of those whiskies that Johnnie Walker uses in their blends, so it should taste familiar. Read More...

My parents were in town visiting. Dad brought a bottle of something new that he found. It's a cheapie one, but it looked like a cool bottle, so he picked one up for me. Read More...

Wow, I have the best wife in the world! Look what I got for Valentine's Day! Read More...

My parents are visiting from out of town since my twins are celebrating a birthday. With Valentine's Day around the corner, I hit up the liquor store to pick up a few bottles of wine, and maybe a little something for the wife. I wasn't in there to get myself anything, but I couldn't help myself from taking a walk down the whisky aisle. Read More...

This is my 5th bottling from The Glenrothes, and I have to tell you…I’ve never had a bad bottle yet. Every one has been absolutely fantastic. I really love these guys.

With my Dad and I on The Glenrothes, it didn’t last long at all. We made another run to the local liquor store since Mom & Dad also needed some wine. I really was in the mood for something new. I settled for a bottle of the 12-year just for kicks. Read More...

It’s been months since I picked up a new whisky. It’s been repeats for a while: Glenfiddich, Johnnie Walker, Highland Park, Glenmorangie. The usual suspects. Since my parents were in town for the week, my Dad and I took a trip to Total Wine. Ahhhh! There was so much to choose from! Read More...

You know, sometimes it’s better to just pay the extra $5 bucks and get a Glenfiddich 12 year. When it comes to whisky, there’s no sense in trying to save a buck. Read More...

Another fantastic whisky from The Glenrothes. This is the second NOS whisky I’ve tried from them. Although it’s pretty darn good, I have to admit it’s not as good as the Select Reserve. Read More...

I just picked up the newly released US-exclusive Glenfiddich 14 year Bourbon Barrel Reserve. The Glenfiddich just looks delicious in blue. It’s the first Glenfiddich to be aged in two different types of American Oak barrels. Read More...

My wife treated me to an amazing bottle of whisky. She was in the liquor store just picking herself up a few bottles of wine and saw this special edition 1963 re-release and figured I'd just have to have it; Glenfiddich being one of my favorite whiskies. Read More...

For my 40th birthday, my parents treated me to four bottles of assorted whisky. I'll do a writeup for each one as I open them. First up is The Glenrothes Select Reserve. It's fantastic! Read More...

Having enjoyed Johnnie Walker Green so much, I didn't hesitate for a moment in picking up a bottle of Cragganmore when I saw it. After all, it's one of the 4 single malts that makes up Johnnie Walker's world-famous Green Label. At $53 a bottle, I'm sure it's no swill either. Read More...

This is the second Balvenie I've had and I can tell you that this is definitely a Speyside whisky. The taste? Delicious! Looks like The Balvenie is one of my new favorites.

I was running low on whisky, so I swung by the store and treated myself to a bottle. I was really itching to try something new, but not much of a selection this time. Not in my budget for the day, anyway! I wasn't looking to drop $80 bucks on a bottle, so I scoped the shelves for something in the $50 range. Read More...

Happy Valentine's Day! Again, my wife pulls through with another amazing whisky purchase. Read More...

Ralfy.com named this one as the "Whisky of the Year" for 2014. I just had to try it. However, I was really let down. It really is an acquired taste. It's very medicinal. My wife took a sip and said, "It tastes like a sterile field." Being in the medical profession, she knows what she's talking about. It tastes like antiseptic and Band-Aids. Read More...

I mentioned in my last post that my wife surprised me with a few bottles of whisky this Christmas. She was pretty sure that I had never tried The Glenlivet before. Not being sure if I'd prefer the 12 year or the 15 year, she erred on the side of caution and picked me up the 3-bottle sampler than includes a 200ml bottle of the 12 year, 15 year, and 18 year! Read More...

I loved the 12-year Glenfiddich so much that I was dying to get my hands on a 15-year. My wife got home from work today and handed me a bag. How awesome is that? A $70 dollar bottle of whisky for no particular reason. Read More...

I just got back from a week in Florida where I spent a lot of time hanging out with family. My aunt and uncle from Scotland were also with us. One night after the kids had all gone to bed, and the chips, dip, and alcohol came out, we got to talking about how I’ve started drinking whisky. My aunt works for DIAGEO, so she had more than a few pointers for me, as well as list of whiskies to seek out. Everyone says that single malts are better than the blends, so I really wanted to start trying them. I’m not disappointed. Read More...
