Was out doing the little insane Boxing Week shopping I had to the other day, and enjoying time with my wife. Never stop dating your wife fellas. Otherwise her age will get away from you and you’ll have to get out a calculator. Anyway, we stopped into the Museum Tavern, as they had one of the Top 20 sandwiches in the city. Or least they… Continue reading Rogue Oregon Single Malt
Xmas is… busy. Wow, what a great start to a review, you can’t tell I’ve taken time off or anything. Okay, for me, in my family, I prepare a nice meal on Boxing Day. I take a week off, find something fancy, and spend most of Boxing Day doing it. Boxing day, by the way, is the day after Christmas, where we all take turns… Continue reading Wiser’s 18
Memories of Ice Storm ’98. I was living in Montreal, was a teenager, had just gotten back to School and heard all the teachers give us the same old speech about being behind and needing to catch up. Our house had been broken into, so we were in the process of assessing everything that was taken, and then the whole world froze over. On the… Continue reading Aberlour 12 Non Chill-Filtered
Before I get started, let’s just get this out of the way[1] There, now that that’s out of our systems, we read the TIPS I wrote about the spirits I SNIFFED and put in my mouth. Wink. Anyway, BenRiach is the big ONE today (Wink), and each of the reviews were done on a separate SESSION (Wink). I’ve read some interesting things about BenRiach,… Continue reading Awe-Inspiring BenRiach Sextet Review [10 Curiositas, 12, 15 Dark Rum Finish, 16, 20, Authenticus Peated 21]
You know, I used to like TOModera’s Feather’s Pub before they were cool. Like, back in the day when he didn’t have the tartan, and he wasn’t such a snob. He’s changed man. I hear he didn’t even review a Cambelton this last time. What a sellout. Okay, so I do deserve that. It is the fifth and final dram for this time’s instalment of TOModera… Continue reading Isle of Jura 1966 Douglas Laing Old Malt Cask [Feather’s Flight Review Set #4]
So I know what you’re saying. “But TOModera, for your requests, you said you were ordering other Islays, and not this one at all! Especially since this is the time of the year when you go out to Feather’s Pub[1] and order some interesting drams with friends, having a great time, drinking water between each one and having bread and generally trying your best to… Continue reading Ardbeg 1977 [Feather’s Flight Review Set #4]
So here’s the quick deal: Sometimes I go out to my favourite Scotch pub, Feather’s Pub[1] , and I have some drams because it’s a special occasion. I drink a lot of water between them, have bread, have a great time, and write some reviews, which I then put under a special header. Capiche? I think Speyside is the one region that gets around more… Continue reading Cragganmore Special Edition 10 year Cask Strength [Feather’s Flight Review Set #4]
So for those of you just joining us, I go out to Feather’s Pub[1] , either buy myself a bunch of drams or others buy me drams, we have a good time, I spend a long time reviewing them, go home inebriated, and wake up apologizing to my wife. And sometimes the cats. Moving along, we’re onto the Highland of this time, and I didn’t… Continue reading Clynelish 21 Dun Bheagan [Feather’s Flight Review Set #4]
So here we are again with another Feather’s Pub[1] review. For those of you who have missed the past two ones, basically for either my buddies birthday or my own I go out to Feather’s and drink about 4-6 drams, ensuring I have tons of water and bread, taking my time, and reviewing them. It’s something that happens every so often, and I typically ask… Continue reading St. Magdalene 19 1979 Rare Malts Selection [Feather’s Flight Review Set #4]
It’s always rough being the first people in the door, especially when everyone else doesn’t exactly know where the door is or how to properly open the door. Such, I feel, is the case of the much maligned Glen Breton Rare. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears, I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. Back in 1990, or as we North American’s… Continue reading Glen Breton Rare 10
