From peated Islay heavyweights to Speyside elegance to Tennessee whiskey to NWOBHM and thrash, this quiz pits real distilleries against real metal and rock acts. Each name is one or the other.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll learn the Scotch regions (Speyside, Islay, Highlands, Lowlands, Campbeltown, Islands), bourbon producers, Irish and Japanese whisky brands, and rock and metal bands from NWOBHM giants like Iron Maiden to thrash titans like Anthrax and Megadeth.
Lagavulin is an Islay single-malt Scotch distillery known for its peat-smoky character. The 16-year-old expression is one of the most famous single malts in the world.
Yes. Anthrax is one of the 'Big Four' of American thrash metal alongside Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer. They formed in New York in 1981.
