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.

This time they turn out to be Japanese whiskies bottled at 43%, and I’ve never tried either before.

Which one would you choose?

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?

Today's The Wine Clarion post (see Substack link in bio): In the late ‘70s, as we stood in places like a corner in Winslow, Arizona, the wine world was just beginning to enter its modern era. So many exciting changes, still instructive to talk about.

It was fun to guess

Yesterday I attended a local beer tasting club for the first time. Good fun. Vind tasting of 6 beers, including a lineup of 4 Schwarzbieren!

In the Netherlands we have this cute concept called Unwrappd. Cans are packaged in an extra sleeve. With four beers of the same style they come in a box. You can taste them blindly and firm your opinion, before peeling off the extra wrap. I tried two from the Bock Bock, today!
