SnapShot: Del Bac Deep Dive

SnapShot: Del Bac Deep Dive

This SnapShot features four offerings from a distiller from the American southwest, Whiskey Del Bac from Hamilton Distillers. We decided to take a rapid fire comparison of their line after one of our members visited the distillery in January 2020 and brought back a few bottles to share. Over the course of an evening, we went through each a few times and managed somehow to write halfway-coherent notes. As always in this series, these are pretty off the cuff impressions.

SnapShot: Whiskyfabric Whirlwind 2

SnapShot: Whiskyfabric Whirlwind 2

This series of SnapShot posts derives from whisky exchanges with various folks who are part of what is colloquially known as the Whiskyfabric, a term encompassing the online community of whisky writers, creators, reviewers and enthusiasts on social media. Over the past couple of years, we have exchanged whiskies via mail with a number of these fine people and collected the tastings in a series of posts based on some loose collective logic. This post contains various whiskies from around the world, predominantly Canada, France and Italy. Ever wonder what it’d be like to sit down to taste with us in the moment, with all our bias and palate preferences at the ready?

Scotchology: Year Six

Scotchology: Year Six

Entering the realm of the absurd, July 2019 marks the sixth anniversary of Scotchology. The past couple of years have seen less drastic changes and even some relative stability. As of this posting, we currently have 123 reviews, comprising 88 scotches and 35 world whiskies. Social media continues to be the way we interact with others in the whisky community that are not in our immediate geographic vicinity. Apparently all the cool kids are doing it nowadays. We’re in a groove, and it feels good.
