SMOS – Ben Nevis 22yo – 58.4% – 1997 to 2019

Like chomping on copper bits, this is a robust and satisfying whisky. Not a common bottling, especially in NZ, SMOS does this distillery justice.

Imagine having a plate of pork chops, pork belly and a rare steak and then sticky date pudding for dessert.

There is no mucking around.

This whisky is rich, dark and flavourful – and it does not disappoint.

It may be a tad challenging for the newbie but nothing like baptism by fire I say.

Thinking About Race and IQ

We seem destined to continue the equality thesis, the persistent gaps in IQ and other test scores behoove us to acknowledge that our efforts have not worked. In some sense, DEI efforts are an admission of that failure, as they seek to reapportion society’s spoils based on race rather than merit.
