Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Scoresheet & Review
Woodford Reserve has always struck me as an ideal crowd-pleasing whiskey for more traditional drinkers. There’s both a simplicity and elegance to their marketing, be it the font and logo, bottle designs, or even just images of their distillery. That appeal was enough to stick with me, since Woodford Reserve…

Crown Royal Noble Rye 16-Year Scoresheet & Review

Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban Scoresheet & Review
Finished whisky is huge. It’s to the point that if a household brand doesn’t have at least one finished product, then it makes them an outlier. The process, where a whisky is matured and then dumped into a different cask, has supposedly drawn the ire of some whisky purists (I’ve…
