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

Like a fine woman, a fine whisky deserves your time and attention

The Whiskritic

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.

My Collection includes all previous bottle kills.

0 - 1 dislike 1 - 2 ok but wouldn’t drink again 2 - 3 nice but will try better / older bottlings 3 - 4 very enjoyable & well crafted 4 - 5 great experience & add to collection

Prefer peaty Scotches out of all the spirits but won't turn away a bourbon.

The whisky makes you sweeter than you are.

All the booze that’s fit to drink

In July of 2018 bourbon stole my soul. I have no regrets. Ratings: 0-.75 = Drāno substitute 1-1.75= not worth the calories 2-2.75= only if you’re desperate 3-3.75= decent to enjoyable 4-4.75= good to extremely good 5 = permanent shelf member
