Thanks to /u/devoz and /u/stinkysauce for these samples. Hey… about to hit 750 total reviews. That’s 3/4 of 1000, and like… a lot. I should do something special. Not like “short bus special”, because that movie was awesome and you should watch it. Just not with your parents. There’s a lot of sex in it. No, rather special like… something people give a shit about. Or I… Continue reading High West Midwinter Night’s Dram – Acts 2.1 & 3.2
Thanks to /u/I_SAID_NO_GOLDFISH for the sample Screw it. Let’s go on a kick. No, not a Rye kick, though given the last whiskey I reviewed was also High West, and was also mostly rye, who would blame you for thinking that? Pol Pot, that’s who. No, instead I’m going for a few whiskies from High West. And sadly enough, I’ve missed out on one of their… Continue reading High West Rendezvous Rye
Thanks to /u/cnbrown313 for this sample. I’ve been told I had to try High West Bourye. So I did. There, intro done. Nice job /u/TOModera . Seriously though, when I last have reviewed the lonely distiller in the middle of Hell Utah, I’ve had quite a few people tell me I had to get my hands on High West Bourye. Which was easy, because the local… Continue reading High West Bourye (2014)
Thanks to /u/devoz for the sample. I enjoy Springbank. Normally I wouldn’t have to say that, but with Summer and vacation and my personal life being quite busy, not to mention two bad allergic reactions, I’ve been off whisky for a bit. So I feel I should restate a bias I have. I enjoy Spingbank quite a bit. I still believe that the 10 year is… Continue reading Springbank 16 Local Barley
Kinda did this backwards. Started with the high end version, then bought a mini of the standard offering. Granted I’m doing the same with this review, so why change now? This is, technically, not a whisky. It’s a whisky based spirit drink that has dropped below the mandatory 40% to still be a whisky. But where’s my manners… oh, yeah, I dropped them for these… Continue reading Sortilège
I’m getting to that “drank too much at the bar” stage while on vacation. See, I’ve done 3 others reviews at the Underbelly. And while I could probably do a 5th, I’d like to sleep well and it wouldn’t be that great. Not to mention we all finished our food and fatty wants to sleep (I’m fatty, BTW). So I finished the night with Crown… Continue reading Crown Royal Monarch 75 Anniversary Blend
So in case you missed the first post, I’m still in Newfoundland. Well, not really. I’m back and writing reviews in Ontario, but I was in Newfoundland at the time of writing this. And I’m still at the Underbelly. And I’m still enjoying all the whiskey I can afford. So I’ve reviewed most, if not all, of the ample selection of Scotch. What’s a whisky… Continue reading West Cork Original & West Cork 10 Single Malt
So I’m in Newfoundland for vacation. And I’m drinking Ouzo, Rum, cocktails, and everything else I can have. However the whisky selection isn’t great. And I don’t blame them: It’s an Island, and Canada has Byzantine laws concerning the Devil’s happy water. But then, in the deep parts of the city (well… a basement), I find out about a whisky bar. That has a whisky… Continue reading Bib & Tucker 6 Small Batch
Recently went on vacation. It wasn’t to somewhere outside of Canada, thus there haven’t been any posts from me for awhile. That said, I’m still a whisky drinker at heart, and even in the Savage Jelly Bean wilds of Newfoundland (see: St. John’s), I found some whiskies I have never reviewed before. Or rather my wife did. Well, the first one at least. She went… Continue reading Schenley Golden Wedding
