Welcome to Nice Sipper
100th Review Celebration
This past review marked the 100th posted to Nice Sipper since starting this site a little over a year ago. To commemorate, I have compiled a montage video to relive all the reviews in a mere 90 seconds. Thank you for being a part of this journey, I look forward to posting the next 100!
Bowmore 15 Year Old
This next Exclusive Content Review will feature Bowmore 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch from the Isle of Islay. Since we had our first official snowfall of the year up by me yesterday, it seemed like the proper time to open up a bottle of peated single malt to warm up….
Hazelburn 10 Year
Hazelburn is one of three brands of Scotch from the Springbank Distillery. While the other two, the Springbank and Longrow have medium and heavy peat profiles, the Hazelburn is the unpeated, triple distilled version within their portfolio of whiskies. Let’s check out this Hazelburn 10 Year together….
The Balvenie 16 Year French Oak Finished in Pineau Casks
For this next Exclusive Content Review, we will visit The Balvenie’s most recent release, the French Oak 16 Finished in Pineau Casks. In addition to sampling the new single malt scotch, we will also sip on some of the fortified wine that The Balvenie chose to finish its whisky in as well as sipping on The Balvenie’s 15 Year Sherry Cask Single Barrel and the DoubleWood 17 in an attempt to figure out how this new cask finishing influenced the core product. Buckle up….
West Cork Single Malt Aged 12 Years Rum Cask Finished
We will be tasting Glendalough 13 Year Mizunara Finished Single Malt for our fourth Irish Whiskey of the week.
Initially, my good friend mentioned this bottle to me as something he had heard from his local liquor store guy. I remembered reading about this bottle in Whisky Advocate so I bought one the next time I saw one in my own local store. I figured I would crack it when my friend visited next….but things kept coming up and then COVID happened and well, this is my long winded way of saying that this bottle has collected dust, unopened on my shelf for 3+ years now. What better time to crack it open than for my debut St. Patty’s Day Week of Tastings?
