Why are there no hats in GOT?Whisky Blogs I Read
I have learned (and still learn) much from these tireless bloggers. They all have their characteristic take on the subject, and are not marketers. There are many others on the net, these just happen to be in my faves list.
My grandma would have called Jason a “character.” Very honest reviews, usually with some off-the-wall take on things, which sometimes have to do with whisky.

Whisky and Words Number 31: Ardbeg Corryvreckan
This is the final post in the NAS series for now. I’ll write up a wrap-up article in a week or two. I read about Ardbeg long before I had a chance to taste it. A distillery raised from the … Continue reading
Distillery Tour — Glenmorangie
I like Glemorangie’s products a lot. They are well-finished, consistent and pure to their style. Their basic 10-year is a smooth dram worthy of quiet moods, some good cheese, contemplation and relaxation. It’s also reasonably priced. Their finished expressions, using … Continue reading
Distillery Tour: Aberlour
Aberlour, sited in the town of the same name, caught my eye by the very pretty, old-timey photos of its front gates — such as this one. A really gorgeous little place, their shop (photo to right) evokes an air … Continue reading
Distillery Tour: The Balvenie
Our second tour was at William Grant & Sons in Dufftown. At this site are the Balvenie and Glenfiddich distilleries. Where Glenfiddich is nearly ubiquitous worldwide as ‘the world’s best-selling single malt‘ and a high-volume product (13M liters/year, produced from … Continue reading
Distillery Tour: Glenfarclas
For this post, a departure: not a whisky review, but a distillery tour review, of Glenfarclas. This was my first tour of a distillery, so the whole thing was new and fascinating. That’s fortunate, as I had planned no less … Continue reading
Whisky and Words Number 30: Highland Park Magnus
Another in the NAS series! Again I’ll weigh the stratagem of the distiller, and we’ll see if the malt master and his minions have created value for both distiller and imbiber. In this case, the Magnus is presented to us … Continue reading
Whisky and Words Number 29: Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2009
We’re off the NAS train for a bit, coming back from the underwhelming Dalmore KA III, back at you with another Bruichladdich. I’ll do a little compare and contrast with the Bruich’ Scottish Barley, AKA Classic Laddie. Note, the Islay … Continue reading
