Amateur palate, peat preferer, proof snob.

When I pass of this good earth, I’ll be taking my Brora with me. Not so I can share with god, but so I can bribe the devil.

For bourbon and single malt whisky a rating of 2.5 means “average”. Anything rated 3 or more is worth a taste, anything rated 4 or more is recommended. For blended scotch the average is 1.5, and anything rated 3 or more is recommended.

I'm not here to wax poetic about the nose or the palate, there are much more qualified people to do that, I'm here to have fun with whiskey. And you should be too.

There is no such thing as bad whisky - some are just better than others.
