A good whisky, full stop. However, it took me a good eighteen years to fully appreciate it.

I suppose if we were ever going to do a viral, clickbait-like “drink this, not that” article, I’d probably tell the world to drink this over Macallan 12, full stop.

A little late for St. Patrick’s Day, but any time of year is a great time for this underappreciated Irish Whiskey.
Overall Rating: ★★★
An utterly remarkable whisky, no question. Well, aside from whether you’re willing to pay for the privilege of trying the damn stuff.
Overall Rating: ★★★
A review perhaps too long in coming. This American homage to a Japanese whisky is a must-try flavor bomb.
Overall Rating: ★★★
Great name. I mean, a truly great name. The whiskey itself? …Eh.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
It ain't bourbon or scotch, that's for sure. This is a very good thing in my book, and I hope it holds true for you as well.

With the Blender's Batch series, liquor giant Diageo goes a little bit "indie."
Overall Rating: ★★☆
We toss the word complexity around a bit without ever really going into it. Now's as good a time as any to see what all the fuss is about!
Overall Rating: ★★★
A great bottle of scotch that's commonly available. Don't miss the forest for the trees here: it's not a "craft" presentation, but it's stunning nonetheless.
Overall Rating: ★★★
Don't let the (low) price scare you off. This isn't discount-grade Japanese whisky, but a graceful and well-crafted product. Not just for highballs!
Overall Rating: ★★☆
They could have called it anything else, literally anything, and been better for it. The whiskey itself is surprisingly not bad, and a huge step up from Bushmills' white label.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
It's always surprising to me that Japanese whisky has such a huge following when the name of the game is subtlety. Overall Rating: ★☆☆
