Tea-Flavored Mixers For Whisky? Sacrilege!
Most consumers of whisky do not spell it “whiskey” and consider themselves to be above the peasantry that would even think one second about combining a whisky with something clearly as evil as a mixer. But then there are some people out there – and we are not naming names – that seem to enjoy mixing their whisky with something other than air or water. For these people, a company […]
WC Tries Some Woodford Reserve And Likes It
WhiskyCritic had a pleasant Turkey Day made even pleasanter by the presence of 90.4-proof [45.2% alcohol by volume] Woodford Reserve – a straight rye Kentucky whiskey. The pairing of whiskey with the traditional accoutrements of the holiday’s feast turned out to be perfect, with the somewhat harder edge of the Woodford Reserve proving to be a good palate cleanser in between bites of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and, ultimately, pumpkin […]

The Highland single malt scotch whisky is probably – along with The MacAllan – one of the more recognizable of the single malts and one of the most pleasurable to drink.

The Party’s Over For Bud Light
In perhaps one of the least surprising moves of 2016, Bud Light has decided to shut down the Bud Light party early – Bud Light turned off the lights on its election-themed ad campaign starring Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen because nobody showed up [aka, declining sales]. The campaign, which regrettably debuted during this year’s Super Bowl, was supposed to run through the election, but was mercifully killed in August […]
