I drink scotch
This is what’s on my shelf now. I don’t know what I’m waiting for before opening them. I enjoy tasting scotches with others; that’s my excuse. (posted from my phone as a test)
Side by Side Single Malt Tasting – Episode #1: Laphroaig Triple Wood + Scapa 16 + Bowmore 12
Sometimes it’s fun to take a wee nip from several bottles of single malt one after the other to accentuate the differences between them. I’ve done it many times and it often reveals something new in a single malt I’ve tasted many times before but on its own.

Taste: Sharp flavours like lilac, lime zest, salt & vinegar chips,

THE OLD STRATHISLA (Before 2013) (Written on March 31, 2014.) I suppose I should get around to laying down my thoughts and feelings about the rest of the single malt scotches I’ve had opened in my cupboard for the past year. I put the breaks on reviewing scotches too early because a good bottle of single malt when it’s full will often morph into a whole other beast when it’s
