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

All the booze that’s fit to drink

I don't judge. I drink.

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.

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%.

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

Scotch appreciator exploring the whisky world to quench my spirit.
