Introduction Ok, it’s been a LONG while since Master of Malt announced their Blogger’s Blend contest. But dammit, I bought the samples and took my notes, and wrote most of this article 2 months ago, so I’m going to do a blog post on it. In short, the idea behind the Blogger’s Blend is to [...]

Johnnie Walker Gold vs Blue
Posted in blends, Johnnie Walker, review, tagged Johnnie Walker Blue, Johnnie Walker Gold on August 1, 2010 | 24 Comments »
Introduction I bought a 200ml bottle of JW Gold a while back to see what all of the fuss was about (people seem to rave over this particular expression relative to the more expensive JW Blue). I also have a 200ml bottle of JW Blue that I got from, of all people, a marketing firm [...]
The Last Drop – A one-of-a-kind blended whisky
Posted in blends, review, The Last Drop, tagged The Last Drop whisky on May 10, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Introduction I guess I never did a write-up on the local Compass Box tasting at Sportsman’s I went to a couple of months ago. I’ll have to pull out my notes and do that. That tasting serves as a good example of why I love to get out there and be a part of the [...]

Introduction I recently purchased miniature (50ml) bottles of Chivas Regal 12, The Glenlivet 12, and Glenfiddich 12 so that I could compare the three and see if any one of them stands out as an entry level value for a “light” whisky. When I call them “entry level” whiskies, I mean that in two ways. [...]
Black Bottle 10 year – leave your notion of blends at the door.
Posted in Black Bottle, blends, review, tagged Black Bottle, blend, review, scotch, whisky on July 9, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Introduction Tonight I’m trying Black Bottle 10 year blended scotch whisky, bottled at 43% alc./vol. On the bottle, it says “Finest Scotch Whisky with a Heart of Islay” When they say it has a heart of Islay, they mean it. This blended whisky apparently contains whisky from all 7 Islay distilleries (this is pre-Kilchoman). Black [...]
