We promised you a visit to Japan, so here we go! We've assembled eight bottles that should provide a nice introduction to Japanese whisky. Nothing rare or collectible (though the Suntory bottles can sometimes play “hard to get”), we've got four established favorites, and a couple of newer additions, and we'll take a look at …
ZOOM EVENT - 6:30pm PACIFIC - 9:30pm EASTERN Game of Thrones. Great book. Sometimes great show. Yadayadayada. I'm not going to waste too many electrons explaining these bottles. They've been around for years. They've been around too long. In fact the box of them I have has been in my garage too long. Every time …

Kilchoman exploded onto the whisky scene less than a decade ago and they've been making fantastic whisky. Don't expect all-out peat monsters the likes of Laphroaig and Ardbeg. Kilchoman peat is more subtle and the distillery selects only the best casks. This is a complex treat for true enthusiasts. Joshua Hatton, Keeper of the Quaich, …

This year we pick up where we left off, tasting the three most recent Ardbeg Day releases (all in the much coveted higher abv Committee Release versions), plus a …
Let’s Do This! We're excited about our flight of 6 single malt whiskies. They fit together quite nicely to the point of creating synergies… the whole is greater than the sum of its component parts. We've based our flight on 3 pairings: Tullibardine (light aperitif whisky and Tomatin (a sherry-finished ‘Tweener’ dram), Bladnoch (a bold …
It’s still (column-sometimes-pot) Whiskey Season: By popular demand, ours is a Bourbon-Rye whiskey gala.
