Ones that take stand for what is right morally and ethically are even rarer. To this day your post on Bourbon bigotry remains my favorite whisky writing out there. It sort of feels like when George Carlin died prematurely - he still had a lot to teach us then, and boy, could the ( still wondering what the hell is happening ) people use his commentary today. <br />Hope to hear from you in the future in some other formats (have time for writing a book maybe?) and that this blog postings remain.<br />IWKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-59554438118256581552017-05-24T18:58:50.316-07:002017-05-24T18:58:50.316-07:00I'm late to the wake.

Truly, your voice was one of the most important in this industry/segment, and your website the best of its kind. Moreover it's nice to see good folks do this type of great work, especially when blogs are filled (today) with a mass of contributors, and all matter "experts". MOSTLY, your blog has been immensely entertaining, which at the end of the day is why it's been so enjoyable to read.<br /><br />Sincerely - thank you very much for being a great friend in whiskey all these years.

I...I'll be pouring one for you tonight, Sku. I've enjoyed reading all of your posts for a long time; it's been refreshing to see you remain pretty neutral and tell it like you see it despite the whiskey hype train steaming ahead. The way you've gone about this blog I can tell that you proceeded because this is something you're passionate about, rather than something to keep the lights on.<br /><br />You will be missed, as I feel that there's way too many "critics" out there who are more than happy to get samples and bottles shipped to them by companies, and in return will post a "review" with an ultimate score of 85-95 points almost every time (looking at you, whiskeyjug!) Those are so common nowadays that they just aren't enjoyable anymore. It isn't about the product anymore, it's about the money. And that was my biggest takeaway from your blog; this was something you did because you liked it (at least that's how it came across to me, the reader - I have no idea if this was truly the case). The posts like your LA donut reviews kept things fresh, and I'm screenshotting some of my favorite posts from you, in case the URL goes dead.<br /><br />I wish you the best, and hope that you can continue your passion elsewhere, in another avenue. Cheers, Slainte, and all that jazz.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-57948632962964564562017-05-16T11:01:43.059-07:002017-05-16T11:01:43.059-07:00Really enjoyed reading all these years!
