Yellowstone Limited Edition 2017 vs 2019, 50.5% (101 proof)
In the first tasting by Whisky4All I participated in we tasted the 2019 bottling of Yellowstone’s Limited Editon. I instantly bought a bottle because of the enormous complexity and goodness it showed. Even before I wrote notes, or told the … Continue reading

Old Forester ‘1920 Prohibition Style’, 57.5%
This bottling from a few years ago is one that I had my mind set on since last week. That’s not long at all, but there’s a bit of a story there. A little while ago, with an exponentially growing … Continue reading
De Whiskykoning’s American Whiskey Tasting, 2020 edition

So this happened. DSA, whisky buddy of mine from the USA/Israel/Austria sent me a bunch of samples with just a number on the cap. No further info was given, and knowing him it might or might not be whisk(e)y. It took … Continue reading
