Recently, I attended a Scotch Malt Whisky Society event. Once you examine the program, you need to develop a strategy for the evening. Do you go after a favorite distiller and “run the table”? Do you seek out only those bottles that are over 18 years old? Do […]
Looking for a little something to tide me over, I hit up the whisky closet and selected a soon-to-be-empty bottle of Kilchoman. I had bought the Machir Bay after sampling it during a WhiskyCast Virtual Tasting. While I am have not really been a big fan of peated whisky, I have […]

My man G-LO was out trolling the interwebz when he was approached by Raj Sabharwal of Purple Valley Imports and offered a sample of the Blairfindy from Blackadder’s Raw Cask series. Never one to be impolite (he was raised right), he heartily accepted the offer. I was once […]
