Hi Scotch it! TOModera here with another review. I’ve been drinking a lot of independent and rare bottles of Scotch, and while that’s pretty awesome, it’s time to get back to some of the unsung, great everyday Scotches that we all enjoy. To start off this habit (which I don’t know how long it will last, let’s guess… four reviews? Sounds good to me, fictional… Continue reading Glenfiddich 12
And now onto the favourite region of /r/Scotch, as we’re all a bunch of peatheads. I ended up at the end of my night wondering what Islay whisky could cap off a great evening. As last time I had a 27 year Ardbeg Old Malt Cask Douglas Laing, I had to take the next step up, and decided to have a dram of the Ardbeg… Continue reading Ardbeg 32 1967 Old Malt Cask [Feather’s Flight Review Set #2]
Part 3 of my birthday dram fun, and we’re onto the Speyside region. My wife wanted to get in on the fun, so she went searching and chose a dram for me. If you’ve never had someone do this for you, try it some time. And if they have very little experience choosing, do it twice. I would have never tried the Glen Mhor 1979… Continue reading Glen Mhor 1979 Signatory [Feather’s Flight Review Set #2]
So at this point I’m on dram number 2 of my birthday dinner drams, and realizing that I’m 30 years old and inebriated in front of my parents. Let’s continue tasting regions, shall we? I’m not as informed on Highland malts as I’d like to be, and I have never had a chance to try Dalmore yet, so I thought I’d try with one of… Continue reading Dalmore 10 Old Malt Cask [Feather’s Flight Review Set #2]
Hi all! Went out for my birthday drams (only 3 months late, my parents are getting better), and when they didn’t have the Banff distillery Scotch I had planned on picking up, I decided to do my own 4 region tour (sorry Cambeltown fans). It’s great when my father pays. Let’s start with an interesting dram I’ve been considering for awhile, the Auchentoshan 11 year… Continue reading Auchentoshan 11 year Bordeaux Cask [Feather’s Flight Review Set #2]
Review number 22. This is the last of my drams at Feather’s from two weeks ago. It was quite nice to come back down to a non-signatory, non-exclusive bottle. Price: N/A in Ontario (Bought a dram at Feather’s Pub in Toronto for 6$) Region: Islay Abv: 46.3% Colour: Medium Caramel Nose: Wood pulp, a dive club, plum wine, soap, sour candy, far away peat, clovers… Continue reading Bunnahabhain 12
As I’ve stated before, I went to Feather’s to give me buddy a birthday gift that was long overdue. I also went because I wanted to be part of the most recent community review. My buddy ordered the Bunnahabhain 1984 Signatory (17 year) to see what the difference would be, given it’s an independent bottling, 5 years older, and without any added colour. He eventually… Continue reading Bunnahabhain 1984 Signatory [Bonus Feather’s Pub Review]
