How it all began 8 yrs ago- two sample bottles from 7-Eleven, then a bigger bottle from 7-Eleven, and finally a Yoichi 15 from Bic Camera cos even then, someone had just cleared out the shelf of the 17s.

Getting tired of chasing in-demand bottles so I enlisted the help of my uncle who owns a restaurant and sent him a wish list of bottles to potentially procure. Let’s see how this turns out.

I know it's early to be picking favorites but this is by far the best one so far out of my advent calendar. Super easy to sip neat, great overall flavor with just the right hint of smoke.

A second door last night since Mrs. PS and I were behind by a day. This one was quite a surprise, as I never though of Glendfiddich being peated. Their mainline bottling is not, but this definitely is, though nowhere near as smokey as an Islay. I didn’t pick up on as much sweetness as I would have expected from a rum cask. Overall this one felt a bit jumbled, with several contradictory things going on. I liked exploring it and would consider a bottle at the right price.

GTS 22 - It drinks light for its proof. What’s your favorite GTS release?

Another 21yr, this time a blend. Thinner than I expected, lot of heat in the gnosis, smokier than usual for a blend. Overall very nice, with a little more character than you’ll find in equivalents from the big name blends.

Took a gamble on this rye. Not only because the last few MGP-sourced ryes I’ve had were disappointing (The Senator, Knotter Rye), but also I’ve never had this mashbill before (51% rye, 49% malted barley). I’m a big Smoke Wagon (especially barrel proof) fan and it was retail so why not. I don’t have a sophisticated palette, so I can’t provide a proper review, but I was very impressed. Not as spicy as many ryes, and not as hot as the proof suggests. Thick mouthfeel, unique finish. (Lager v ale) 🥃

Today ended way too late - so a 21y single malt is a fantastic surprise!

The nose has a bit of blue cheese funk to it. Overall super-smooth yet with a good higher-proof kick. Has a weird bitterness and decayed mushrooms on the finish.

Not a fan. Glad I’m not stuck with an expensive bottle, but still happy to have tried it.

Sweet nose, but then a hit of savory spice on the tongue with an insanely long finish that is all cigar.

I wouldn’t drink this with a cigar, because you wouldn’t notice it, but it’s insane how much that finish lingers and mimics the mouth tingle after smoking a cigar.
