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.

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

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.

All the booze that’s fit to 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.
