A bunch of guys from my church got together for a Robbie Burns scotch night that they’ve held for the past 5 years and I was lucky enough to join in the fun. Everybody brought a bottle and me and another guy put them in the order we felt would be best… avoiding the peat barrier as tomodera would say. I had 8-9 drams, but only … Continue reading Robbie Burns Night 2016
Another year, another 4-10 reviews up in a two month span of whiskies that no one man should ever drink. But here I am. I know what you’re thinking: I must be fat. And drunk all the time. Only one of those are true, and I’m not drunk right now, so fatty’s going to keep writing. Like I said before, I passed the peat barrier,… Continue reading Port Ellen 1979 21 Douglas Laing Old Malt Cask [Feather’s Flight Review Set #14]
So after dinner, after I’ve enjoyed my meal (hmmm… salmon burger with winter salad…), and most importantly, after I’ve had a chance to clear off my tongue with a litre of water, I’m ready for my next birthday dram at Feather’s Pub. It’s a thing I do every so often. Three times a year, if I’m being honest. 20 if I’m lying. 40 if I’m… Continue reading Ardbeg 1974 Signatory Vintage [Feather’s Flight Review Set #14]
So a guy walks into a bar. And some other people do too, but let’s just talk about this one guy. It’s a month after his birthday, however he’s enjoying it now. And he has some drinks. And the bar is called Feather’s Pub, located in Toronto, in the Beaches. And that guy is me. So my wife wasn’t too happy that I had picked… Continue reading Balblair 1990 15 Dewar-Rattray [Feather’s Flight Review Set #14]
Shout out to /u/Devoz who requested I review a Mortlach, ANY Mortlach. So here’s a Cask Strength one. Specifically Feather’s PubMalt of the Month. Well… this and Octomore 6.1. Which I own, so I went with this. Also I don’t start with Peat. That’s just a recipe for disaster. Like this intro where I all of a sudden say I’m doing a review series on Feathers… Continue reading Mortlach 1988 17 Signatory Cask Strength [Feather’s Flight Review Set #14]
Thank you to /u/Johnysteaks for a sample of this dram. So. Sheep Dip. Sounds like either something Gary Larson drew and then moved onto Cows or something that won’t taste good. Actually, in the past my family has been told it’s called that to tell you where the water flowed through before being used in the whisky. So again, gross. But actually Sheep Dip is just… Continue reading Sheep Dip 1990 Old Hebridean
Thanks to /u/boyd86 for this sample, way back in June, when we were young and silly, and didn’t really understand the world. Red Flags. Why are they called that? Well because we did something before and they happened. Which is hard. Like, take for instance, if I walk down a street in Egypt, and I’m mugged. Should I be safer with my wallet? Maybe. Should… Continue reading Danfield’s Limited Edition 21
Taiwan. Land of… that video with that one racist fuck wit. And otherwise really nice people. Not that I’d know. I’ve worked with two Taiwanese people, and they were cool, however I don’t want to paint an entire culture with two Canadian-Taiwanese people who I worked with. So Taiwan, what’s up with that? Well they are country… and even saying that is really contentious. So… Continue reading Kavalan Sextuple Review (King Car Conductor, Single Malt, Solist Ex-Bourbon, Solist Sherry, Solist Fino Sherry, Solist Vinho Barrique)
So I walk into Pub L’Isle Noire and I noticed, immediately, that they have a boilermaker special. That’s pretty hardcore. Not unlike whiskies in porns where you see the fucking. Anyway, I see that they are seeing some type of beer and Big Peat Xmas Edition, which I found out was brand new and I could order without the beer. I’m usually happy when I don’t… Continue reading Big Peat Xmas Edition 2014 [Pub L’Isle Noire Flight Review Set #1]
So I’m still at Pub L’Isle Noire. When I drank this one. Not right now, I’m writing it right now. And not when I post it, because I write these before hand. And not while you’re reading it, because it’s now the future of when I even wrote the part above. Make sense? Great. So I ordered a dream dram and it blew my brain.… Continue reading Bunnahabhain 25 [Pub L’Isle Noire Flight Review Set #1]
Hey Dram Fans, hope you’re having a nice day! I’m currently great because I’m writing up the second of a 4 part series on a pretty sweet pub called Pub L’Isle Noire, which if you’re ever in Montreal, you should check out. Or don’t. I’m not your mother. Anyway, I was sitting there, ready to do 4 reviews, one per region, and I realized something:… Continue reading Benrinnes 23 [Pub L’Isle Noire Flight Review Set #1]
So this will be a bit different. Kinda. Every so often I enter into a pub that I enjoy so much that I make a flight out of it. There was the Dam Pub, there’s the Village Idiot Pub, and probably others I”m forgetting about. Oh, yeah, there’s the Feather’s ones I do all the time. Those as well, because I love it there. Well… Continue reading Auchentoshan 11 Hepburn’s Choice 2001 [Pub L’Isle Noire Flight Review Set #1]
