Nothing goes down smoother then good whiskey and good music, that’s why Pioneer took it upon themselves to combine the two. The Pioneer Pure Malt Speakers are made from repurposed whiskey barrels after their engineers “found that solid oak wood from whiskey barrels had great acoustic properties.” I wouldn’t doubt that, plus, its a very […]

Living up to its moniker, Bowmore‘s “Darkest” 15 Year is a 15 year old single malt scotch from Islay, and features a darker complexion than many other whiskys of later age. Matured in Oloroso Sherry casks, this version of Bowmore’s Darkest vintage replaces what was the 14 year (although the age was not stated). According […]

The most popular Speyside distellery in the US market introduces a single malt scotch nearly 4 decades in the making. Limited to only 240 bottles in the U.S., this prized whisky has spent 36 long years in the cask, the final spirit blending one sherry cask and two American oak barrels together.

The bottle is based on a […]

Distilled in 1938, this Speyside whisky (the Madman’s favorite Scotch region) comes stunningly presented in a wooden bespoke box, with its delicious liquid contained there within glowing the color of sun-bleached polished mahogany. No matter […]

Sure Crown Royal ain’t the best whisky in the world, but as far as massive distillers go it’s a damn fine option (let’s just say it has a safe place in the LIAS wet bar). To give Terence more boozy options for his personal selection, they’ve just dropped a new 90-proof spirit that boasts notes […]
