And so we’re almost at the end of another year. For one more time in 2016 here’s a look ahead to what’s coming on the blog.
I’ll be finishing up my Four Roses recipe roundup this month (only the F and K yeast strains to go) and after two editions of the Kilkerran Work in Progress in November I’m looking forward to finally tasting their regular 12 yo. Beyond that I have no fixed plans for booze reviews in December—so the long list below is more wide open to nominations than usual. I will also be trying to catch up with my back-log of restaurant write-ups: I still have one more meal to report on from our Los Angeles trip in July (!), two more from my London trip in August (!) and a few more from our trip to Montreal in October; plus I have some Twin Cities metro area eating to report on as well. This probably means there’ll be no recipes this month either.
Anyway, on to the list of potential whisky reviews. Let me know if anything below particularly catches your eye.

OP17, Laphroaig Batch7 merci
Which Glen Garioch is that? Or are you planning to review the whole line? ; )

Whoops—fixed that.

Jack Daniel’s – I hope it’s the Old Number 7. I’m hearing they use a sour mash and a secret process invented by Lincoln.

Tobermory reviews are fun.

I’m interested in hearing your thoughts on the four K&L casks since most (or all?) of them are still available.

I too am curious about these K&L Bottlings in a way I wouldn’t normally be as I now have a relative who is capable of accessing them for me!
Not on the list, but have you ever considered reviewing Laphroaig Triple Wood? You have become my go to reviewer of Laphroaig and frankly I was more than a little suprised you haven’t reviewed it yet.

Oops how rash was that last post. I see you have already reviewed the K&L bottlings this month. My bad!

Well, I’ve already posted the reviews of those four K&L bottles.
I do have a bottle of the Triple Wood on my shelves. Not sure when I’ll get around to opening it.

The Laga Feis Ile and Rampur. Really curious about the Rampur… I’m a huge Amrut fan, and wondering if this is just as good

Pulteney 17 if possible
