So here we are, the last of my “monument” reviews for a little while. This is /r/worldwhisky review #60. No major one until I hit whisky network review #300. After this, I’ll be focusing on Bourbon and Cambeltons for awhile. And of course it’s Canadian. Because it should be, because… reasons? I don’t know, I just didn’t think I had done enough Canucks in the last… Continue reading Forty Creek Port Wood Reserve 2012
Hey, it’s /u/worldwhisky community reviewing time, and I’m ready! Thanks to /u/uncletobys for sending me a sample of this dram in our recent trans-Pacific swap (that’s where the Pacific goes about a life altering change that we all respect… I think). Anyway, let’s talk about the dram of the day, Redbreast 12 Cask Strength. Not Red Breast, as I keep typing it. These are not reviews about… Continue reading Redbreast 12 Cask Strength (Community Review)
So it’s a milestone kinda week as such for me. I’ve reviewed all the “Beginner Drams” over at /r/Scotch, I’ve hit 200 scotch reviews, I’m about to hit 60 reviews at /r/worldwhisky, and, most pertinent to this review, I’m about to upgrade my flag so that it’s more ‘merican. What’s more special than a strong as wheater? Well, some would say the birth of children,… Continue reading Old Weller Antique 107
So I’ve been saving these up for awhile, as who doesn’t everyone enjoy a multi-review from a verbose nerd who loves the sound of his own words? That’s what I thought, you LOVE IT. Anyway, it’s been awhile since I’ve had Laphroaig. And there’s a reason for that. It costs a shit ton here in Canada. Also it’s hard to find in bars. But for… Continue reading Laphroaig Sextuple Review [Special 200th review/Triple Wood,15 year, Cairdeas Origin, Cairdeas 2013, Cairdeas 2014, PX Cask]
Mad Men, am I right? It’s a show about a guy who, if you knew him in real life, you’d probably avoid the ever-loving-fuck out of him. It’s from a time where women weren’t treated correctly and all the things that Tumblr purports about now we’re wild and on display. Yet, for all that horribleness, there was a jump in sales of Canadian Club. Because… Continue reading Canadian Club Small Batch Classic 12
So here I am, getting ready to do something special for the upcoming 200th Scotch review… and you know what happens? First off, I forget two of the Ardbeg reviews I did, and thus am 2 off. So I add them in. All good right? Nope! Second, whatever part of my brain once won a math award takes a vacation, steps out for a bit,… Continue reading Chivas Regal 12
I will always say this: If you enjoy Scotch, or Bourbon, yet can’t keep up with the price hikes, you should try a whisky that is made near you. It won’t always be amazing, however for every 10 bad or just “okay” whiskies out there, there’s a good company making tasty stuff. Just look at Amrut, or Forty Creek, or Sullivan’s Cove, or Nikka. If… Continue reading Santis Highlander Edition Cask Strength Peated
So here we are once again. My recent mini-bender (1/day, I’m such a villain on vacation) ended up bringing me to a Bourbon on the last day of Fan Expo. And boy was I tired. Turns out walking for about 4 hours a day, in a large place filled with adrenaline and body heat, not to mention nerd boners, really takes it out of you.… Continue reading Basil Hayden
So, time for another interesting IB! This time, brought to me by an amazing waitress at The Feather’s Pub. Seriously, go there, they don’t give me anything to say this, it’s just really, really tasty, and there’s 400 different single malts, most of which are IB. Anyway, today I’ll be reviewing Glenrothes 1989 Liquid Gold Caledonian Selection. I’ve never heard nor seen anything by Liquid… Continue reading Glenrothes 1989 Liquid Gold Caledonian Selection [Feather’s Flight Review Set #6]
So it’s day 3 of Fan Expo. When I reviewed this… not as I write this. I’m writing in the present for the past. And I’m at The Feather’s Pub. You know the one, if not, I’ve linked it. It’s Saturday. If you’ve ever been to a Con, you’ll know that Saturday is rough. This year they oversold tickets… again… for the next time… during… Continue reading Rosebank 1989 Old Malt Cask [Feather’s Flight Review Set #6]
So it’s that time of year, and we all know it. No, not when kids are going back to school… well, yeah, it’s that time of year, but I have cats, so if I’m talking about THAT…. someone needs me to just sit over here and have a talk. No, not when it gets cooler… I live in Toronto, it’s not cool here… at all.… Continue reading Connemara Cask Strength Peated Single Malt
