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!
Cardhu Gold Reserve Single Malt Game of Thrones: House Targaryen
In honor of this past weekend’s debut of House of the Dragon on HBO, we have a special review for one of the bottles from the Diageo Game of Thrones Scotch series, which came out a few years ago.

As a BiB release, it is 100 proof (50% ABV).

Stagg Jr. Bourbon (Batch 17)
Stagg Jr. Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the younger sibling of George T. Stagg Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Unfortunately, older brother George took a sabbatical in 2021. Luckily, Stagg Jr., which is rumored to be aged 8-9 years, had 2 releases (as usual) in 2021. The one I will be reviewing is Batch 17, which was the last release in 2021 and is said to be the last that will carry the “Jr.” in the label.
