Always the dutiful son, I purchased a Whisky Advent Calendar for my Pappy from Master of Malt. This works out well as he has just about everything he could possibly need, and he loves his whiskey. As an added bonus, I sometimes get a dreg or two returned […]
If you’ve been following our brew and booze filled journey over the past 4+ years, then I think it’s pretty obvious that we’re very open minded when it comes to our adult beverages. We may not love everything, but we will at the very least try it and […]
I am not a reviewer. I am not a whisky savant. I am not an animal. I am a lover of whisky, and I love the smell that fills the glass and rises above. I love the aroma from oak and vanilla and lemon and dead pine needles. […]
You would think that there would be a healthy dose of booze infused banter whenever two guys get together to do a bit of whisky taste testing, but the truth is that during these sessions, Limpd and I continually say “Don’t lead the witness!” whenever one of us blurts out […]
The pronunciation of Scottish distillery names is something that always has us scratching our heads. While there are few that we THINK we’re pronouncing correctly (Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, Balvenie, Ardbeg, and Highland Park appear to be quite straightforward), there are several that we still can’t quite figure out.

A few weeks ago, Limpd and I got together at The Barthenon to sample and review the two whiskies in the above photo. Under normal circumstances, our tastings take place after my kids are asleep, which is usually after 9PM (I would have said “after our kids are […]
Several weeks ago, we received an email from Hush Moonshine asking if we’d like to sample some of their product for a possible review. While Moonshine isn’t something that we normally drink, when I noticed that Hush makes a Spiced Apple version, I just had to give it […]
We’ve all had our “Aha!” moment with whisky at some point in our lives. For me it probably happened via a sip of Maker’s Mark or Johnnie Walker Black way back in my misspent youth. For Carin Luna-Ostaseski, the founder of SIA Scotch Whisky, her “Aha!” moment occurred […]
If you’ve read Limpd’s retelling of our Ardbeg 10 vs. Ardbeg Corryvreckan taste off, then you have some idea about how he felt about peat way back in 2010. That was almost exactly 4 years ago, and I am happy to report that Limpd has finally come around […]
We love our whisky, of this there is no doubt, but for some reason, whisky from our friendly neighbor to the north, i.e. Canadia, has rarely made an appearance during our research sessions. Thankfully, over the past couple of years, this situation has changed quite a bit. In […]
