I’m Rick, a sometimes over-enthusiastic whisky nerd who likes to imbibe (in moderation, of course), share (what hasn’t been imbibed), and talk (to anyone who’ll listen) about all things whisky. Also a Boston Red Sox obsession that might be a cry for help.
A core range expression from one of the oldest legally recognized distilleries in Scotland should be interesting. That’s why I’ve popped the cork on the Bowmore 15 year old. And with the video review lasting only 5 minutes, that turns into a win-win for everybody! www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2AU...

International travel these days is often full of challenges beyond our control. So if you do it, maybe the Travel Retail Exclusive Classic Laddie Sherry Cask Edition from Bruichladdich is your reward! (I think so, btw.) If you're curious, here's the full 5-minute video review: youtu.be/GkzjX6xyzO4

The Bunnahabhain folks on the Isle of Islay are known for doing interesting things with whisky so if you’re curious if their Banyuls wine cask finished release is any good (OK, spoiler alert: I think it is), I promise I don’t talk about it for more than 5 minutes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PVw...

I dipped my toes into the independent bottling pool with a single malt from one of the granddaddies of independent bottlers. The whisky is from the Macduff Distillery, the bottling’s been done by Berry Brothers & Rudd, and the video review is only 5 minutes long. Check it out!

I don't usually follow the awards train but since it won some prominent ones I thought, what the heck. Bottom line: not a bad pour at all. Once you get past the price tag. My 5-minute take: youtu.be/XwrD_1MX218 #laphroaig #friendsoflaphroaig
