Welcome to day 11. When you’re an independent bottler you need to have a shtick and Black Adder has not just one but two. Firstly they don’t have any machine processing on their bottlings and second they either employ the worst or the best graphic artist to design their bottles. Today’s dram they have added…

Day 10 — Compass Box – The circle
Day 10 if you like this whisky I would recommend clicking the link below and getting one. I get the impression that this is not a series that will be repeated much and it’s a shame because it’s darn tasty. Although I am not generally a fan of Compass Box what I like, I like…
Day 9 — Bunnahabhain – Ceobanach
Welcome to day 9. Time for a big peat offering. I picked this one as I thought it was a new offering from Bunnahabain but a little research seems to suggest it’s been around for a bit. So if you like this one even though I was only able to find it in a couple…
Day 8 — Glencadam – 10 Years
Welcome to day 8 today we have a lesser known distillery and when picking the notes I am not really sure why. This is light, fruity, and tasty and I will need to find more. I really don’t know what more to say here so let’s just dig in and enjoy! Whisky Country: Scotland Age:…
Day 7 — Laird of fintry
Welcome to day 7 first week was a breeze right? You got this only 18 more days left “words of positiveness” etc, etc. Those of you that have done this advent calendar in the past over 25 days will get that. Everyone else I was sincere 😉 . Day 7’s whisky is another one of…
Day 6 — Writers Tears – Mizunara
Welcome to day 6. Writers Tears is definitely on my go to list of distillers when I don’t know what I want but I know I want something tasty to add to the fun who dosen’t like Mizunara. So when I saw this whisky in the BC Liquor premium release catalogu I braved the outdoors…
Day 5 — SMWS 66.144 – Peatabix
Day 5 let’s return to Scotland but rather than having a dram form a specific distiller let’s have a dram from a bottler. The SMWS believes that whisky should be about drinking what you enjoy not about who makes it. This is something I fully believe in to that end the SMWS hides bottles behind…
Day 4 — Nikka from the barrel
Day 4 well as I am writing this up a smarter person than me would have noticed that we have back to back “international” whiskies but here we are and the order is set. Japan dosen’t make a lot of whisky compared to the amount they drink. This is reflected in the availability and general…
Day 3 — Amrut – Kadhabam
Day 3 now we are starting a pattern but let us not get too crazy today’s whisky comes from India and a solid distillery at that. Amrut has lots of tasty offerings under its belt and I feel this is no exception, and even though colour is not everything just look as that bottle. Until…
