When I look around the community, I hear the term “Whisky Nerd” often thrown around as a term of endearment. I like to consider myself a bit of a whisky nerd as well, not per se because of my knowledge (as there are many people around who know a whole lot more than me), but […]
In today’s review I’ll be having a look at the Remus Gatsby Reserve. A bourbon with no less than a 15 year old age statement, that comes in an art-deco style bottle that very much reminds me of the roaring 20’s. As I’ve never been lucky enough to try a whisky from that era, I
After reviewing the excellent Hogshead Islay 13 (a secret Ardbeg), I got the taste for another Ardbeg review.

Glen Scotia with a teaspoon of Springbank. Or at least I’m told that’s what were finding in this new Hogshead Indie release! This 8 years old Hogshead Blended Campeltown aims to bring the magic of Campbeltown to your glass. But the question is, does this blend live up to the Campbeltown hype? Doing these tasting
Hogshead Indie is back with some amazing new bottlings and I was lucky enough to receive a sampleset with their entire new range. Including this Hogshead Lowland 9!

Reviews for both the Glenlaird 10 and Glenlaird 12 in todays head to head tasting notes. Let’s find out which one comes out on top!
