Two mystery samples from Andrew in the UK. Completely blind again — my wife labels them, so I don’t know what’s in the glass until the reveal.

Full tasting on YouTube. Link in bio.

Sample Sunday Blind Whisky Samples
I had no idea what they were until the reveal. Turns out both whiskies are Japanese and bottled at 43%.

Which one do you think I preferred?
(Thanks Andrew!)

Zo'n leuke zaterdagavond gehad bij het Whisky Festival in de Grote Kerk van Alkmaar 🥃

Voor het eerst een blind tasting gedaan en natuurlijk veel verschillende whisky’s ontdekt. Van smaak en kleur tot verhalen over distilleerderijen, vaten en het maakproces, alles kwam voorbij.

Four Canadian Ryes, all blind. Two affordable, two pricier. Can I really tell the difference? Which one comes out on top?
