    Love this!

    Best buy up what you can though, @ChemicalEyeGuy and friends, I understand Donnie banned Canadian whisky and a bunch of other products today.

  4. Picked up a few things tonight at Julio's Liquors. Tonight's Whisk(e)y Wednesday at Julio's Liquors was Fettercairn Whisky, and it's cracking stuff. We sampled the 12, 16, 24, and 28 - and a bonus The Dalmore 17 year that will hit the US shelves soon.

    Admission to the event included a bottle of the Fettercairn 12, but I couldn't resist picking up the 16 - and the one bottle of 24 left in the state. 😉

    The 28 was good, but a lower proof and chill-filtered, unlike the younger expressions. I felt that it lost a little of the bright, orchard fruit notes that I really liked in those. I put the 24 ahead of the 28 for my palate, so I did not pick up the 28.

    Definitely worth checking out, IMHO. If you like the light, floral Highland style of Glenmorangie, you might like Fettercairn as well.

    I also picked up my pre-order of the new Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society Proof and Wood Tumblin' Dice 'Dungeons & Donut' 13-year Barrel Proof Straight Rye Whiskey.

    Also, as a tip, do not sleep on the next L&K pick of Middle West Spirits pumpernickel rye when it comes in. You're welcome.

  5. Recent pickups from Julio's Liquors and Burlington Wine And Spirits

    From Julio's I grabbed several recent Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society picks:
    - Bully Boy Distillers 'Wicked Dahka' Single Barrel Bottled-In-Bond Straight Bourbon
    - Rittenhouse Rye 'Orange Crush' Straight Rye
    - Proof and Wood Tumblin' Dice 'The Big Papi' 11-year Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon
    - Middle West Spirits '38 Special' Single Barrel Straight Rye *Dark Pumpernickel*

    If you missed out on the 38 Special, I'm sorry. I love rye, and this dark pumpernickel is fantastic. Just different from other ryes and very interesting, a great dram. Middle West does have a pumpernickel rye in their core lineup, which is also great, as long as you can catch it when it is in stock. They sell out fast

    We tried these at the recent Middle West Whisk(e)y Wednesday at Julio's Liquors, and everything was great. I tried to be responsible and limit myself, but I did also end up grabbing their Double Cask Collection Ported Pumpernickel Rye. This is their pumpernickel rye that gets secondary aging in French tawny port casks.

    The port brings a whole different depth and experience. I wouldn't say better or worse, just different. I really enjoyed both - obviously, given I bought both - but your palate may vary.

    And this past week's WW was Maker's Mark, and we all brought home a 375ml of the standard Maker's Mark Bourbon. It's a solid bourbon, can't complain.

    I was also over at Burlington Wine recently for a rum event and picked up a couple of bottles that had arrived since the last time I was there. They're both independent bottlings of Hampden Estate Rum, a favorite of mine.

    The Colours of Rum Jamaica 1998 HD Edition No.6 Cask 6 23-year Cask Strength Rum

    Raising Glasses & Nobilis Rum Papilio 6-year Single Cask, Cask Strength Rum

    The Papilio is the C<>H (C Diamond H) mark, the 7th heaviest out of the eight marks Hampden distills, so it has some character. You don't often see the heavier marks bottled outside of a blend. The 1998 HD is HLCF (Hampden Light Continental Flavored), the fourth of the eight marks, and one that is quite commonly bottled by itself.

  7. I was remiss the last time I posted recent pickups and overlooked these two bottles, from the fantastic Single Cask Nation. Back in March, Joshua Hatton was the guest for Whiskey Wednesday at Julio's Liquors and we tried a whole line of excellent bottles.

    Trying to be a little more responsible, I limited myself to two - an 11 year old Fettercairn and a 21 year old Glen Grant.

    If you haven't checked out SCN, you should. They have some fantastic bottles.

  12. Vermutlich eine doofe Frage, aber gab es bei den diesjährigen #whiskyleaks auch alkoholfreie?
    Oder was könnt ihr so empfehlen?
    Bei denen mit stand ich immer auf die irischen, am besten noch im Rum oder Sherryfass gereudt...

  13. After a very hectic but productive day yesterday, decided to go out for a drink or two, found a surprisingly tasty Belgian whisky, Braeckman 2023 single grain which seems to combine the tastes of bourbon, rye and a little smokiness and pairing it with a 14.5% stout made the taste sensation even better. #whisky #belgianwhisky #braeckman #ImperialStout

  15. I meant to post these two weeks ago and got distracted.

    Some recent pickups from Julio's Liquors - a few Loch & K(e)y Rye offerings, I'm a big fan of rye. The Nelson's Green Brier which was a very pleasant dram at a recent Whiskey Wednesday at a very low price, so I picked one up. The Sotol and Nixta were from another WW. While I tend toward whiskey, I do enjoy other spirits and the sotol was worth adding to my lineup. The Nixta is a sweet corn liqueur, something you'd use in a cocktail maybe in place of simple or agave to give it a different flavor. It was interesting enough to pick up to play with.

    The others are recent Compass Box web (Duality) and auction (Juveniles and Canto Cask 47) pickups, and the Bimber Duality which I also snagged at auction. Compass Box is my Pokémon. 😅

  16. Dat was woensdag een zeer geslaagde whisky-avond voor de ruim 60 gasten At Marcook's smokehouse & BBQ in Enschede. Marco serveerde heerlijke gerechtjes van de grill en tussendoor presenteerde ik de bijpassende whisky's. ​Topavond!

  19. CW: Alkohol

    Dass ich bei jedem zweiten #Wein (vor allem #Weißwein) regelmäßig Schnupfen bekomme und bei #Whisky nie, könnte ich ja noch nachvollziehen…

    Dass ich aber mit #Portwein, #Traubensaft und #Weinbrand auch keine Probleme habe, sagt mir dass hier irgendwas mit Psychosomatik oder was noch seltsameres los sein muss.

  20. Deze editie sta ik in de echte mannen-special van Panorama. Verslaggever Ryan Claus heeft een prachtig verhaal geschreven over mijn passie voor whisky en Schotland en de tasting bij bbq-restaurant Marcook's van Marco Wulff. Sander Boer bedankt voor de prachtige foto's bij het artikel.
