Back in early December, Limpd received an email from Master of Malt announcing their 2012 Whisky Advent Calendar. Since Limpd’s Pappy is a fan of the brown spirits, he decided to purchase the Whisky Advent Calendar as an early Christmas present for him. While Limpd’s Pappy is a […]
First we had the Mexican Beer Trifecta where we reviewed three different Mexican beers. Now we have the Rye Whiskey Review Showdown where we’re reviewing three different Rye whiskies (Dickel Rye, Bulleit Rye, and High West Rendezvous Rye to be more precise). So what’s with all this number […]
While Limpd is not the biggest fan of the classic Islay whiskies (the intensely smoky ones), he has found his way to Islay on numerous occasions thanks to the Bruichladdich and Bunnahabhain distilleries. I’m pretty sure that at one point he had a bottle of the Bunnahabhain 12 […]

Life 2.0. It’s a concept that I’ve been talking about over drinks with the guys for the past couple years. Life 2.0 represents my dream of one day finding a career that (a) makes me look forward to Monday mornings, and (b) enables me to pay the bills […]
Throughout 2012, quite a few emails were exchanged between myself and Chris Maybin, Commercial Director of Compass Box Whisky. In most cases, these emails dealt with press releases for Compass Box events and new whisky releases that happened throughout the year. In mid-September, after hearing so much about […]
Once again, G-LO was out on the interwebz and his efforts produced several samples of Crown Royal Maple. The bottle tells me that this is Crown Royal’s fine deluxe maple flavored whisky. From the description at their website, the Crown Royal Maple is “a master blend of premium whisky finished with […]
