Drinking the good stuff

Life’s too short to drink bad whisk(e)y

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.

Appreciator of barrel-aged distilled goodies.

The Whiskritic

Barstool ramblings - out of 23

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].

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

3.5 = 70 = Average (relative to my enjoyment)

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.

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.
