Michel Couvreur Blossoming Auld Sherried Review
The Michel Couvreur Blossoming Auld Sherried is a wonderful sherried whisky that is bursting with character which is fitting because it comes from one heck of a character.

Brenne 10 Review
Brenne 10 is the older, and higher proofed, sibling of the original Brenne which has been a divisive dram in the whisky world. Some people absolutely love it while others, like myself, can’t stand it and I think a lot of it comes down to if you’re a sweet person or not. Me, I’m … [Read more...] about Brenne 10 Review
Armorik Sherry Finished Review
Armorik Sherry Finished French single malt starts out exactly like the Armorik Classic Single Malt and gets aged in ex-bourbon casks. Then a few months before bottling the ex-bourbon barrels are dumped into ex-sherry casks for a few months of finishing. This process is popular in … [Read more...] about Armorik Sherry Finished Review
