Editor for Distiller. My go-to dive bar whiskey: Bushmills Black Bush. Have a weakness for self-depreciating humor, queso, and shih tzus.

1.00 Horrid | 1.50 Poor | 2.00 Below Average | 2.50 Average | 3.00 Above Average | 3.50 Good | 4.00 Great | 4.50 Outstanding | 5.00 Sublime

Amateur palate, peat preferer, proof snob.

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.

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.

Full Disclosure - Price affects/is considered in my overall rating. (You get what you pay for)

3.5 = 70 = Average (relative to my enjoyment)
