http://drwhisky.blogspot.com/2014/11/jim-murray-2015-whisky-bible-and-why.html
Whisky. Whiskey. Whisky. Just what the doctor ordered. Monday, November 03, 2014. Jim Murray, 2015 Whisky Bible and Why Scotch Whisky Sucks. There is always a good deal of chatter when Jim Murray releases his awards list ahead of the release of a new edition of his bible, surely the sometimes controversial choices he makes are no promotional accident. Some of the best whiskies I was fortunate enough to taste in 2014 were from Japan, and I would agree that the Yamazaki Sherry Cask is a stunning. Since the...

Whisky. Whiskey. Whisky. Just what the doctor ordered. Monday, December 19, 2011. Malt Mission 2011 #405. I am sure if you are reading this then you are likely familiar with the back story, but.

And thus the work-in-progress formerly known as THE BLOGGERS BLEND. Read Jason's backstory HERE. This is a great wh...

Whisky. Whiskey. Whisky. Just what the doctor ordered. Monday, February 18, 2013. Take off, eh? Crown Royal, Canadian Club, two of Canada's proudest exports (and two of ginger ale's best friends), are in the news on the back of an advertisement that is "misleading", "confusing", and "decieving" while "tarnishing" their good names. Couldn't squeeze a Royal in there? I know. I, too, suffered anti-Canadian slurs and slander in my two years as a legal alien living. The current controversy stems from an adver...

Dr.Whisky: Mandatory Reading

Whisky. Whiskey. Whisky. Just what the doctor ordered. Thursday, July 18, 2013. Scotch Whisky: Its Past and Present, David Daiches (1969). Much that was around in 1969 still feels contemporary today: the music can be heard everywhere, everyday; the fashion has come, gone and come again; the ideals, ever resilient, continue to be subjected to relentless pressures but have never been defeated in over four decades. The whisky world, however, was a very different place. Does not read like a technical study o...

Whisky. Whiskey. Whisky. Just what the doctor ordered. Sunday, October 16, 2011. Malt Mission 2011 #402. Scotch Blue calls itself "the #1 selling blended Scotch whisky in Korea" (it isn't) and was launched in 1997 by drinks giant Lotte Chilsung. It has 17 and 21yo versions very much targeting the more premium Ballantines expressions and local market leader, Windsor 17. Waxy and buttery the way only PET. Buttery again, rounded.
