In amongst the sacks of fan mail that we receive at Dramble Towers this one jumped out at me last week: “Matt, it’s all very well going about reviewing great whiskies all the time, but can we have a few tasting notes for some of the crap ones too once in a while?” I considered this, shuddered, felt a little piece of me die inside, and then came to the conclusion that this was indeed a fair point - As an online commentator don’t I have some duty of care to highlight things best avoided? So, I resolved to take up this offer and to occasionally post tasting notes of bottles which are poorly made, faulty, unpleasant and in some cases downright loathsome. <Deep breath>
