Having just done a new review I was also looking over some of the other reviews. I think the style of the reviewer becomes apparent when reading the reviews. I was trained by people in Quality Control at United Distillers and my reviews are more short and to the point - Much like what I would right when tasting whiskey in the lab. Linn and Mike are a bit more descriptive in their notes and I assume that the examples they learned from where probably more from books written by such people as Jim Murray or the Regans.
I write this because Linn and I have been doing a few co-ordinated product tastings and the styles really show. Linn's are much more entertaining than mine. I really appreciate the difference and I invite you all to read some of them and compare the differences. I would also like to invite others to join into the fun and write your own notes. After all, variety is the spice of life and in this case a lot of that spice comes from the rye....
