Anderson Valley Brewing Company
Another company visited during my travels, this time a brewery. It was more or less an accident we visited this one, since we took a wrong turn on Highway 1 and drove to Boonville instead of following the coastline towards … Continue reading
High West Distillery
On my recent travels I also visited some booze induced locations, like Utah’s High West Distillery in Park City. At first I was rather surprised to find a distillery in strictly regulated Utah, but I guess its not as bad … Continue reading
Reboot!
I’m back! After my short period of not posting and my quite long vacation I’ve got new energy to start posting again and quite a few plans to follow too! I will try to get some of the tasting notes … Continue reading
Time off

Glen Elgin 35 – TWA
Another oldie in the Bottle-Share. Not hard when five out of seven are 34 years old, or older. It also doens’t help to have forgotten to write tasting notes to the Bowmore (I just found this out, bummer). Nose: Full and … Continue reading
Laphroaig 12 – Liquid Library
A somewhat younger and peatier dram to have a change of pace. There have been many great Laphroaig bottlings recently, and unfortunately I haven’t been able to taste the majority of them. This gives me mixed feelings since I do … Continue reading
