Ever been to a Harvard party attended by PhDs with a ruggedly dressed guest from Boston College? Oh, the suspense! That's what we encountered in our latest mystery scotch tasting. The unexpected guest, we all agreed was perfectly balanced, with an intriguing blend of sweet and smoky hints. In this episode we explore the depths of this deliciously complicated scotch, tantalized by flavors from sweet fruits and nutty undertones to smoky peat and salty accents. Now that's a party!
The plot thickens as we continue our spirited discussion, speculating about the origin of our mystery guest. It was an uninvited guest, but oh boy, it was loved by everyone. The scotch was like a ruggedly dressed guest at a highbrow party, initially misjudged, but later turning out to be the most charismatic attendee. The flavors were elegant and edgy, dark fruity notes wonderfully mingling with the richness of flan custard. This scotch tasting was not just a casual sip; it was an immersive experience we would love to relive.
Toasting to this nearly perfect 10, we concluded our wild journey into this unpredictable yet delightful scotch. Listen in, savor the journey with us, and who knows, you might just discover your new favorite scotch!Support the Show.

Walking you through this Mossburn No. 21, we'll delve into its light color, elusive legs, and an array of intriguing aromas. Imagine smelling vanilla, marshmallow, and a tire shop's rubber, all swirling together in a complex bouquet. But wait, there's more - a fruity cocktail of pineapple and pear, with a nutty whiff of almonds. All of this beneath the surface of a Scotch that isn't trying too hard - subtle, yet beguilingly complex.
You'll learn about the immersive dance between the Scotch's high ABV and its peaty palate. We'll discuss the meadow-like aroma becoming a floral symphony when water is added. We'll reveal how this change intensifies the peat and salt on the palate - and we'll consider the distiller's reputation and whether this particular Scotch lived up to our expectations. We'll also uncover the intriguing evolution of Scotch flavor over time - always improving, always surprising. We'll also compare this to some "interesting" animals.
As we share our collective rating and mull over whether we'd buy this Scotch again, we hope to ignite your own curiosity about this captivating spirit. An unforgettable adventure in alcohol and aroma awaits you. Grab a glass, sit back, and let us guide your journey into the heart of Scotch.

Ever wonder how a glass of Scotch can transport you to a camping trip under a starlit desert night? Join us, the Gentlemen of the World, as we navigate through a thrilling mystery Scotch tasting. Our first stop is a deep dive into the visual appeal of our drink. We draw parallels between its coloration and various beverages such as an Irish whiskey, a Chardonnay, or a Pinot Grigio. Behold, as we appreciate the 'legs' of the Scotch and their potential impact on mouthfeel, while also detecting various scent notes from smoke to moss to "a gushers ball".
Our journey doesn't end there. We set off to revel in the Scotch's flavor profiles, comparing it to a wide spectrum of things, even the notorious Malort.
In the final leg of our adventure, we lay bare our honest ratings of this intricate Scotch. After contemplating its complexity and individual components, we declare it an ideal drink for a camping trip or a desert night escapade. So, come along and raise a glass with us, as we toast to the health of the Scotch and its enchanted drinkers. Here's to an episode brimming with spirit and cheer!

Ever had one of those hangovers that just won't quit, despite your best efforts? One where that throbbing headache or the constant retching makes you swear off alcohol for good? Well, we've all been there! In our recent conversation, we took a trip down memory lane to some of our most infamous hangovers - the kind that unfold after a night of too much of a good thing or a themed party gone wild.
Our chat wasn't just tales of woe, though. We also revisited the reckless freedom of our twenties and contrasted it with the responsibilities of fatherhood. From a memorable first year at Coachella, fueled by breakfast burritos and shots, to the dangerous game of "Beer Life" that had us downing pints like there was no tomorrow, we laid it all bare. But we also acknowledged the darker side of these antics, highlighting the risks of binge drinking and the importance of knowing when to say no.
And then there were those drinking stories that are more cautionary tales than badge-of-honor-worthy exploits. Remember that time with the cement mixer shots or the one that led to a hospital trip? Or the fun trip to Costco that ended with an unbearable hangover? We discussed these and more, sharing the lessons we've learned along the way. So, buckle up for a hearty chat filled with laughter, cautionary tales, and a few unforgettable anecdotes.Support the Show.
