All Whisky reviews

After being very disappointed with this one's main competition Glenfiddich 12, I was hesitant to try it. While waiting for the doors to open at a casino concert a few days ago, I spotted this one at the…

Here is another blend that I have always hated, but had the opportunity to order at a concert after having tasted about three dozen mostly single malts over a one month period. My first sip impressed me…
