Notes: So, I am back after an almost 2-year hiatus. I bought a Whisky Advent Calendar from Master of Malt's Drinks by the Dram line. I am pretty pedestrian in my single-malt choices (Glenmorangie, Balvenie, Dalwhinnie), so I decided to spend this holiday season trying new whiskies (and new wines, but I will post those after Christmas). The advent calendar was pricey, but definitely cheaper than trying 25 whiskies at my local pub.
Again, I don't drink a lot of Blended Whiskeys. I don't drink a lot of Irish whiskeys, either. I focused on Scotch and finding what I liked. What I am discovering is the the blended whiskeys have less bite. And if this is what an Irish whiskey can do, I will definitely be trying more of them.
