I've decided to set myself a new challenge. It's one I've been thinking of for a while. Here's the challenge:
"I have to drink 1000 different whiskies before I die".
1000 is a little arbitrary but it's a nice round number and I think anything smaller, like 12 would not be enough of a challenge.
Here are the rules:
1. All whiskies count - Scotch, Irish, Bourbon, Japanese, single malts or blended, all are good.
2. Each different whisky can only count once.
3. A 12 year old Glenlivet is different to an 18 year old Glenlivet.
4. A 12 year old Glenlivet in 2008 is not different to a 12 year old Glenlivet in 2010. They are the same.
5. Doubles count as singles.
6. So do trebles.
7. I have to write them in my little notebook once I've tried one. I'll probably set up some kind of online list too.
This is a good challenge because it involves lots of whisky and it is also SMART, apart from possibly the A. In fact, I have no idea whether there are 1000 whiskies or not. It'll be fun to try and find out!
Since I started this on Saturday, I'm now up to 3:
12 yr old Glenlivet
12 yr old Highland Park
Standard Jamiesons
Just 997 to go!

If you drank a 12 year old Glenlivet now, would you count an 18 year old Glenlivet as a different drink if you drank it in 2014?
(assuming you purchased both bottles new in the year of drinking)
Yes, that would count as a different whisky. Although it's pretty unlikely I'd have a bottle for six years!
