http://scotchnoob.com/2015/08/10/sons-of-liberty-hop-flavored
Sons of Liberty: Hop Flavored Whiskey (Seasonal) The Scotch Noob. Sons of Liberty: Hop Flavored Whiskey (Seasonal). August 10, 2015. August 10, 2015. My stance in general on flavored whisky is that if sugar is involved, I stay away from it. I also generally don’t review them. Still, I stand by my prejudices, even if I can’t defend them. Sons of Liberty’s Hop Flavored Whiskey is a seasonal release (they also have a Pumpkin one). Distilled from an IPA (India Pale Ale) wash, and then distilled wit...Piercin...

Bushmills Black Bush Blended Irish Whiskey The Scotch Noob. Bushmills Black Bush Blended Irish Whiskey. June 8, 2015. June 7, 2015. I actually keep coming back to the bottle of Black Bush that I bought on a whim. At first for cocktail fodder, and then for something to splash into a glass of ice. I even bought a second bottle (rare for me). It’s bottled at 40% ABV. Note that Black Bush was previously aged more in the neighborhood of 11 years, and has since lost some of that maturity, probably as...A gentl...

November 9, 2010. December 22, 2010. I am the Scotch Noob. Oh, sorry. Noob is a meme. As stuffy older gentleman with an ascot and a tee time.

http://scotchnoob.com/2015/06/22/review-oakkits
Review: Oakkits The Scotch Noob. June 22, 2015. October 14, 2015. The aging-at-home industry appears to be picking up speed lately, with products such as Whisky Elements. Beyond Barrel Aging Masts. Review upcoming), small barrels for home aging. And even wooden bottles. In other words, it hardly makes sense to put a $6 stick of wood into a $30 bottle in order to make the bottle taste like it’s worth $35!
