All the booze that’s fit to drink

I’m not sure if Kentucky made me fall in love with whiskey, or if whiskey made me fall in love with Kentucky.

WHISK(E)Y. The reason I wake up every afternoon.

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.

Exploring

Whisky with the rocks, not on the rocks.

Amateur palate, peat preferer, proof snob.

The whiskies are real. The reviews are final. This is my courtroom.

Majoring in whisk(e)y, with minors in rum and mezcal. I have a collection of about 200 bottles, with a focus on American craft and Islay, Highland and Island Scotches. If you'd like to trade samples@ please contact me at [email protected].

Rating System <= 2.25 Terrible 2.5 - 2.75 - Poor 3-3.25 - Ok. 3.5 - 4 - Good. 4.25 - Great. Top 15%. 4.5 - Excellent. Top 5%. 4.75 - Amazing. Top 1%.

3.5 = 70 = Average (relative to my enjoyment)
