Today, let’s talk about what I think might be the most overrated whisky on the planet Earth.

Remember how Lucy would always yank the football away from Charlie Brown before he kicked it? The Glenmorangie X is exactly that in liquid form.

I certainly don’t want to be an asshole when it comes to appraising a small business trying to do something new. As you’ll see in this review, squaring that circle can be a real challenge.

Look, I get it: finding new niches for a product and staying competitive is hard. More than anything I want to reward trying something new. But is aging shit in bourbon barrels literally the only thing distillers feel they can try?

Maybe it’s better if you never watched Game of Thrones. If so, you can fully enjoy the value of a heavily-discounted whisky without ever having to know the details of why the price fell like a rock.

Maybe just about the worst whiskey you could buy. I argue it’s so bad, it’s actually instructive of what makes a bad whiskey in general.

Not only does this stuff flat-out suck, it absolutely strains the limits of credulity to call itself Japanese whisky for reasons I can’t wait to let you in on.

Quite honestly, a product in search of a reason to exist. If there’s a niche it fills, I’m not savvy enough to detect it.

Is it horrendous? No. Is it overpriced and only a shadow of what the distillery has to offer? Absolutely.

An underachieving whiskey for sure. If you're wondering if the alternative to Bushmills and Jameson is any good, it really isn't.

A challenging vodka to spell and pronounce, and an equally challenging vodka to enjoy an entire glass of. A good study in how temperature can drastically change the taste and character of a spirit.
