A couple months ago, we finally finished our bottle of Ardbeg BizarreBQ after having it for nearly two years. Now, it’s time for me to provide an update on my overall impressions. But first, here’s a brief recap on the notes and a reminder, Ardbeg’s Master Distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden teamed up with Christian Stevenson…

The GlenAllachie 12-Year
Now here is a distillery that has truly impressed me, led by the experienced Master Distiller Billy Walker, who has over 50 years of industry expertise. GlenAllachie has transitioned from being solely a component for premium blends to taking center stage as a single malt whisky brand. This 12-year expression is part of their core…
Compass Box Secrets of Smoke
Recently, I had the chance to try the Compass Box whisky called Secrets of Smoke. As the name implies, this blend includes peated whiskies, but it differs significantly from their Peat Monster expression. If you didn’t enjoy Peat Monster, I believe you’ll find Secrets of Smoke much more appealing. Let’s get into it. This expression…
The Dalmore Port Wood Reserve

Glenmorangie A Tale of Tokyo

Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream
Glenmorangie has recently introduced another addition to their Tale series, and this time it’s called Ice Cream. Before diving into this expression, I also had the opportunity to sample A Tale of Tokyo, which I can share my thoughts on later this week. In all honesty, I blind bought this bottle, so let’s find out…
Ardbeg Eureka! Committee Release
If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably already know that Ardbeg is one of my favorite Islay whiskey brands. I hold such a special place for them in my heart that they were the very first distillery we visited when we traveled to Scotland. Ardbeg is an incredible brand, but lately, I’ve…
Port Askaig 17 Years
We’ve been experiencing a particularly rainy April so far, making it perfect weather for enjoying whisky. In light of this, let’s shine a spotlight on this Port Askaig 17 Years. Port Askaig is a small village situated on the northeast coast of Islay. The Port Askaig brand was established in 2009 by Elixir Distillers, an…
