*taps mic* Oh, this thing IS on.
This started as a placeholder, but is now likely to be a bedrock and a haven. I uplift voices rather more often than I add my own; you're all far more profound than I. Occasionally, I toss in some whisk(e)y or hockey profundity for your reading pleasure. So, Cheers!

Make it 11 after a great lineup last night with friends. The Bladnoch is no longer produced, so thankful for a backup. The Bowmore will be replaced at some point, but a few more kills are in order first.

It’s been a spell, but a couple more kills brings the total to 9 for the year already! Unfortunately, despite my “rule” I’ve bought about that many for the shelves. Never fear, viewers, more murders yo come! #whisky #AmericanSingleMalt #OnlyMurdersOnTheShelf

Another sad loss, tempered by a great addition. If you haven't had the Cedar Ridge Quintessential, jump on it. It's a great example of what American Single Malt can be. This will be replaced ASAP. The up side? This Little Book Ch. 6, made up of 4 malts from 4 casks, and a fortunate find.

Onto the 6th kill of 2025, but this time not a #singlemalt. The Penelope Architect is great, one that fooled a friend into thinking it was a single malt during a blind tasting. Filled with nuttiness, spice from the French Oak, it's a great entry to bourbon if you're more a malt head #bourbon

Yet another bottle kill, this time the Arran Sherry Cask, "The Bodega". My god is this an amazing whisky, cask strength, full sherry maturation - if you're not familiar with this bottle, get one. It's one of the best yum:cost ratio sherry cask whiskies out there #whisky #singlemalt

The hits keep coming! This is another shelf staple for me, with a backup on the shelf already. It’s such a great dram for a great price, rich with plum, nuttiness and a zest of pepper from both the American Oak and PX casks, it’s amazingly balanced on my palate. #whisky #singlemalt #Campbeltown

Hey #whiskey Sky - I'm "shipping up" to Boston next month and deciding on distilleries to visit. The top contenders are:
Boston - Short Path, Boston Harbor, Bully Boy
Maine - Split Rock, Wiggly Bridge
Thoughts? Leaning on Short Path, Boston Harbor, and Wiggly Bridge at the moment. #bourbon #ASM

No photo, but had the second bottle kill of the year - the Glenmorangie 14 y/o Quinta Ruban. What an amazing bottle, especially with its cost to yum ratio. In a port-finished lineup, it stood up to the Dalmore, Glendronach, and Arran, all at $20-30 more. Luckily, I have a backup. #scotch #singlemalt

This year’s State of the Union is Disarray. Apologies to the actual 50 states of the union because, well, we’re effed, and in the words of the cheetoh, “Have fun.”

First bottle kill of the new year is one of my absolute favorite bottles and distilleries. Chocolate covered cherries, plum, currants and hint of allspice.
The only downside is that while I have a backup bottle, it’s one that was signed by John Campbell, so I may never open it. #whisky #singlemalt

An interesting tasting last night, a lineup of port finished single malts. I wavered on the order initially, and landed on starting with the 25, grouping the two tawnys and bookending with the rubys. Glendronach took the top spot almost unanimously, with the Dalmore and GlenMo close behind. #whisky

It's been a week since whisky has touched my lips due to the plague that I've had since last Thursday. It may be a couple more at least, as my nose is still congested and I worry I won't be able to truly enjoy anything. My big mistake is not making hot toddies, which may be my way out of my drought.

Happy Ratification Day! American Single Malt is an official category, so it’s time to celebrate. With these choices, what would you pick to be your first toast to the category? Mine is the Westland, but none of them would be a bad choice. #whiskey #AmericanSingleMalt #RatificationDay

First gathering of 2025 and a celebration of the ratification of standards for American Single Malt! Fun times, great friends, great whiskey. The overall favorite was St. George Spirits, then a toss-up with the rest...EXCEPT the Jack Daniels. Interesting night indeed! #whiskey #singlemalt #ASM

Sam Filmus and Impex announcing a REDUCTION in US prices for their brands is the tonic I needed to change the tone of 2025. Of course, I'm still grounded until I finish off the "dregs", but should have enough time before the new line of Lochlea comes out, right? Right?

So does it count if it's a new bottle purchased with funds from last year's budget? Asking for a friend.
(For context, I got a refund on a bottle I purchased, but was given the wrong bottle and they couldn't replace it with the correct one - and the new one wasn't even all of the refund I got!)
