BenRiach 17 Septendecim [The Highlander Pub Flight Review Set #1]

Still at the Highlander Pub in Ottawa. About to make a mistake on ordering a peated whisky second, thus ending what should have been a 4-5 whisky review binge and a drunken stumble through our nation’s capital. The Peat barrier. An often issue that no one in reviewer circles want to bring up. Why? Because we’ve all gone past it and not come back. If… Continue reading BenRiach 17 Septendecim [The Highlander Pub Flight Review Set #1]

Tullibardine Sovereign [The Highlander Pub Flight Review Set #1]

Hey, look, it’s proof that I can be both right and wrong in two reviews! I’m at a different whisky bar now: The Highlander Pub in Ottawa. Go there. Drink. Be Happy. I recently wrote about Bruichladdich, well known for finishing some of their products and having a large amount of whiskies. And I recently reviewed a bourbon cask from them to show they aren’t… Continue reading Tullibardine Sovereign [The Highlander Pub Flight Review Set #1]

Bruichladdich 16 Bourbon Cask

Bruichladdich can make it hard to be a whisky reviewer. Especially one with video game mentalities in our day and age. If you don’t have that feeling, then congratulations. You have a sensible way of looking at objectives, with an understanding that there are some that you won’t achieve. Those of us who otherwise grew up wondering if Mario can, in fact, go everywhere, get… Continue reading Bruichladdich 16 Bourbon Cask

Benromach Organic

Bias time: I’m not the kind of person who puts much stock in Organic as a label. I understand, in some places, it makes sense. There’s a huge reason to have it in the UK, from what I’ve been told. The standards just aren’t there, from what I’ve read. Compared to Canada to the US, where it’s become a new label that mostly means… something.… Continue reading Benromach Organic

Highland Park Freya [Pub L’Isle Noire Flight Review Set #2]

And I finish up my trip to L’Île Noire Pub, I do a dram that I am both interested in and find silly that it exists Glory be to Freyja, she who rules over the afterlife field Fólkvangr. It is our gift to her to send half of those that die in glorious battle. She presides over all that is love, sex, beuaty, fertility, gold,… Continue reading Highland Park Freya [Pub L’Isle Noire Flight Review Set #2]

Pittyvaich 1993 Connoisseurs Choice Gordon & MacPhail [Pub L’Isle Noire Flight Review Set #2]

? Still at L’Île Noire Pub. Still drinking. Still having a good time. Hey, a distillery I have never have! While that could describe many, many distilleries, I’m actually at a loss for this happening often. There’s just so much whisky out there and I like putting those long lists and showing off my whisky review penis out there for the world to see. But… Continue reading Pittyvaich 1993 Connoisseurs Choice Gordon & MacPhail [Pub L’Isle Noire Flight Review Set #2]

Glenmorangie Tusail [Pub L’Isle Noire Flight Review Set #2]

? Went back to L’Île Noire Pub because I was in Montreal and it’s a great pub and they have a ton of whisky and gin. Great place, good prices, good staff. But why choose a Highland whisky? I mean, it’s not a bad region, per say. It’s just not usually my thing. My jive is off with it. I am not a Highlander. If… Continue reading Glenmorangie Tusail [Pub L’Isle Noire Flight Review Set #2]

Littlemill 20 Old Malt Cask [Pub L’Isle Noire Flight Review Set #2]

Went back to L’Île Noire Pub because I was in Montreal and it’s a great pub and they have a ton of whisky and gin. Great place, good prices, good staff. Oh, and sorry to http://www.whiskymontreal.ca for blatantly stealing your image. You are the only person who has taken a picture of this whisky. If you want it gone, I understand, just message me and… Continue reading Littlemill 20 Old Malt Cask [Pub L’Isle Noire Flight Review Set #2]

Cragganmore Distiller’s Edition 1998

I totally planned to post this after Diageo announced their special editions for the next year. And if you believe that, I have some land, under a bridge, in a swamp, that’s on fire, to sell you. That sentence was so broken it has to go to a therapist once a week and cry its feelings out. At least their lawn looks great (that’s a… Continue reading Cragganmore Distiller’s Edition 1998

Highland Park 10

So a Canadian walks into a bar (in Canada), and finds a Scotch he’s never reviewed. He falls dead at that point, only to realize he had already died and gone to Heaven, mostly due to his staunch agnostic atheistic attitudes and love of butter, oil, and fattening foods, specifically pork. This could have been me, but somehow my heart is still going. Highland Park… Continue reading Highland Park 10

Laphroaig 21

Thanks to /u/j4ni for this sample. I’m on a roll… of 2. Well, 101 if we’re counting Islay, and a bunch if we’re counting Laphroaigs. Hit my 100th Islay review the other day. Felt pretty proud about that. Kinda wish there was something Islay-esque I could afford to do. Perhaps I’ll open the Laphroaig 25 CS at some point. However before I do that, I should… Continue reading Laphroaig 21
