An extraordinarily big scotch from an itty-bitty distillery that might have otherwise escaped your notice.
Overall Rating: ★★★
Though the joke might be wearing thin, Ron Swanson most definitely isn't wrong on this one. It's a whisky that manages to be refined in spite of how ubiquitous it is in the world.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
Sometimes I have people over who have never tasted whiskey before, and if they make it through whatever I have on hand that's encouraging and delicious to expert and fresh palates alike, I typically reach for something that's a real powerhouse for the second or third glass. 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: ★☆☆
