Wisky review No. 17 - Bell's Original Blended Scotch

You might have noticed that I tried to publish this a couple of week ago but took it down. Somehow part of the text got a white background while other parts had become black on the usual dark background of the blog. I have no idea what happened, but the HTML was really messed up. I just spent an hour going though it and cutting out the bits that were changing the colour of the text and background. I can't say I've edited a lot of HTML, but there's no way it's supposed to be like the code I found there. It was absurd. Anyway, it's review time so let's go...

Whisky review No. 16 - Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine Scotch - Batch No. 5

This one's been a long time coming for various reasons, mostly because I've been working my way through several Assassins Creed games, replaying Fallout 4 and then just when I was nearly ready to get it typed up they releases Shadow of War. I'm thinking about starting a gaming channel on youtube, but I'll let you know if I get anywhere with that. Let's get right into it...

Whisky review No. 15 - Islay Mist Deluxe Blended Scotch Whisky

Now here's an interesting thing. I'm doing a review of a blended scotch, which is unusual since I don't usually drink them. I'm trying to avoid being too much of a whisky snob, so I thought I was going to do a series on blended whiskies. It's not going to be a series after all. I'm just going to throw them into the mix as and when. I hope that's ok with you. If not, you'll just have to live with it. I decided to do this one now since the bottle's almost empty, and if I finish it off and get a review posted then I can take it to the recycling place and throw it into the container with a satisfying glass smashing sound. Recycling is cool. Hold onto your hats, it's going to be a rough ride!

A beery conversation with my old friend Mr. Tiffen

Maybe a year or two ago I was driving up to Sheffield with my old friend Mr Tiffen. He's a keen home brewer and general beer enthusiast, so I decided to wring every last bit of his beer knowledge from his mind. I recorded the conversation in the hope that I could make a reasonably informative blog post about it. It's a bit of an unusual post, but I'm sure you'll enjoy learning from a fellow enthusiast as much as I did. Pour yourself a pint or a dram, settle down in a comfy chair, and prepare to have your horizons broadened.

Beer review No. 7 - Berentsen's Sprek Gauk #5

Here we go, review time again. I've already written a couple of whisky reviews that I'm keeping warm while you read this one, so I'll have some more content up over the next couple of weeks. I'm starting a bit of a review series on blended whiskies, so if you're not wealthy enough to roll around in massive piles of cash like I am and can't afford the single malts then you can still enjoy the exquisite delights of drinking a whisky while reading my review of it. In the mean time here's a beer review. It was going to be a cheese review of Jærosten, but I munched it down without taking notes or pictures, so that's not happening now. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some more fairly soon. I've lost my train of thought now, so we'd better get into the action.

Whisky review No. 14 - Bunnahabhain Toiteach Scotch

Welcome back to another magnificent whisky review! I feel terrible to keep you all waiting so long, but the only solution is for me to work harder and we all know that's not going to happen time soon. I have been doing a bit of interesting taste related activity, like experimenting with reviewing espresso, reading up on norwegian alcohol production laws, and trying to make a compound gin. I'll try to get some notes on the gin up when I'm can, that was quite interesting. Anyway, I've been going on about it since I started the blog so here, at long last, is my review of Bunnahabhain Toiteach.

Whisky review No. 13 - GlenDronach 15 Year Revival Scotch

Greeting, especially to the Americans who have been reading in record numbers recently. Makes me wish they'd let me advertise on here so I could get a couple of quid in ad revenue, but apparently it's adult content. Once again I find myself apologizing for infrequent blog posts. I always build up your expectations so much and then leave you hanging for months. I've got a couple of decent beers around so I'll get a few of those done. They're quicker to write, since it's just one drink. The whisky ones take longer because whisky changes in interesting ways after you open it and by the time you're halfway down the bottle it's not quite the same. It takes me a bit of time to drink half a bottle of whisky so I can't bash out a review every night. I don't think my liver would take it. Anyway, I've wasted enough of your precious time so let's get to it.
