Whisky Advent Calendar day 9 - Monkey Shoulder Blended Scotch Whisky (100% malt whisky made for mixing). I mean, this is great. Malty, spicy, a nice thick mouth feel, and a nice vanilla touch. It's a lovely Speyside whisky. I'm in! #whiskyadventcalendar

Whisky Advent Calendar day 19 - Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey. Telling is not a brand that ever crosses my mind to order when at a cocktail bar or at the liquor store. I don't know why. Why is the sky blue? Why do whales sing not in English like proper Americans? 1/ #whiskyadventcalendar

Whisky Advent Calendar day 15 - Spearhead Single Grain Scotch Whisky. This is made by the Loch Lomond Distillery via the Spearhead brand. They really, really want you to know this is a new kind of whisky. They use a single malt (not revolutionary)... 1/ #whiskyadventcalendar

Whisky Advent Calendar day 2! Masthouse Double Pot Distilled Single Malt Scotch. This is from Cooper River Distillery. It's fairly light in color but has quite a bit of flavor. Green apples, a touch of caramel. There's a bit of that boozy kick, but it's not unpleasant. #whiskyadventcalendar

Whisky Advent Calendar day 16 - Aberfeldy 12 year Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky. I'm a big fan of Highland whiskies. This one? Hmm. It's very hot. Meaning rubbing alcohol hot. #whiskyadventcalendar

It tastes like melted play dough, mixed with Kool menthol cigarettes, and some black melted boot polish. To call this a whisky is to offend all the gods, the old and the new. This is not fit for human consumption, nor any other living thing. 3/ #whiskyadventcalendar #worstthingever

Whisky Advent Calendar day 3 - Tamnavulin Double Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky. 40%. A nice dark color. It has a bit of a medicinal quality, but it's not unpleasant. Plenty of brown sugar and even a little vanilla biscuit. A nice enough Speyside whisky. #whiskyadventcalendar

It is quite tasty. Poached peaches and pears, and a slight nutty finish. A wonderful 24th dram! And so, here on Christmas Eve, we come to the end of our fellowship. 2/ #whiskyadventcalendar #merrychristmas #happyholidays
