Introduction to the Whiskey Review




Welcome to the first edition of the Whiskey Review!  In this section I will be reviewing different whiskies and providing honest, easily understandable feedback.  It is my opinion that many of the reviews that are published about whiskey only make sense to the most serious aficionados out there, providing little information that the average whiskey drinker can fully understand and take with them.  Occasionally I will deviate from a whiskey review and instead use that opportunity to provide education about whiskey and whiskey accessories. 

Whiskies in this review will be rated on a “Cask” system, 1 Cask being the lowest rating and 5 Casks being the highest.  Ratings will be based on first impressions, scent, flavor, palatability, cost (per 750ml bottle unless otherwise noted), and aftertaste.  It is my hope that these reviews will help you to choose a whiskey that you will enjoy, understand your whiskey better, and leave this section knowing more about whiskey than you did when you arrived. 

What kinds of whiskey are going to be reviewed?  In this section I will review different American whiskies, Single-Malt and Blended Scotch whisky, Irish whiskey, and Canadian whisky.  There are other regions that produce whiskey as well, but those are far too uncommon to be applicable to this review.  The differences in these types of whiskey range from the ingredients to the distillation and aging process, all of which will be addressed in upcoming posts.

I look forward to leading you on a journey through the world of whiskey, be sure to check the first reviews which will be up next week.

Until then, cheers.
