Ended up splitting a bottle of this. So you may be asking what I’ve always been asking: What, or who, is Adelphi ‘The Glover’ 18. Who is Glover? Is is Danny or Donald Glover? Because they are very talented. Well, no. And this may take some time, so maybe throw on Community or Lethal Weapon to help follow along. So first off, Adelphi is an… Continue reading Adelphi ‘The Glover’ 18
Thanks to /u/xile_ for forcing me to keep trying Clynelish. Bias time: I’m not a fan of Clynelish. Why? Because their name sounds like mine. Not really. I’m biased because typically I find them to have touches of honey, which I love, mixed with a waxiness that reminds me of the chocolate from Easter that I don’t like. That said, there have been Clynelish that I… Continue reading Clynelish 1996 Adelphi Selection
A group of us from the Toronto Whisky Society have been getting together for meetups at scotch bars or at each other’s homes for drinking nights for a couple years now, and we recently visited the Toronto Distillery Co, the same distillery that recently did an AMA here on Reddit’s World Whisky Sub. Charles and J.R. have been very friendly and engaging with the community on … Continue reading Toronto Whisky Society visits the Toronto Distillery Co
Thanks to /u/xile_ for a sample of this dram. He bought it from Keg n Cork. We may have drank it all on him. Oops. Hi. I’m /u/TOModera . I’ve been reviewing whisky for over 4 years now. And I have never had a Balmenach. I have no issue with Balmenach. I didn’t even know they existed, honestly. Or if I did, I plead the 9th.… Continue reading Balmenach 1988 Signatory Vintage
Thanks to /u/xile_ for these and other samples. He had an order come in. Guess from where? If you guessed he bought it from Keg n Cork, then congrats, you’re still able to read. Congrats. Or this jumble of words are being dictated to you. Or you are just guessing so far. Either way, give yourself a pat on the back. We all know of Glenfarclas… Continue reading Glenfarclas 15 Keg n Cork Barrel Select Single Cask
hanks to /u/xile_ for this and many other samples. He bought a bunch of whisky from Keg n Cork. He decided to share it with some of us when I and others came to pick up whisky from him. Suffice to say, being hungover the next day was worth it. But I’m getting a hold of myself. And ahead of myself. Both at the same time.… Continue reading Speyside 2007 The Cooper’s Choice
Thanks to /u/LetThereBeR0ck and /u/cnbrown313 Recently High West sold off their distillery. And thus, it’s time to start saying, before anyone else, say it’s gone bad and time to grab all the whiskies while you still can. That’s right folks. In no way will the old company be the same way as it ever has been. It’s all screwed. Run for the hills. Hide all the… Continue reading High West Double Rye! (Manhattan, Ex-Campfire, and Bourbon Finish) [Triple Review]
First off, yes. This is my 800th review on the whisky network. I’m now about 1% of the database. Part of it. A good chunk, at least. Second, thank you to /u/xile_ for this sample. I owe you, and thanks for giving me a milestone worthy dram to review. It’s kinda funny too, because a few days after reviewing this I ended up with a bad… Continue reading Glendronach 43 Year Old Single Cask (1971, #2920) [800th Whisky Review]
Yup, I bought a bottle and opened it. I’m as rare as a technicolour unicorn who prefers the Middle East. But why is that? Is it because I type this with my hooves and my horn, like areas that have slid into repressive regimes due to a myriad of reasons, too numerous to discuss here, and was born by starlight? No, it’s due to the… Continue reading Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Seasoned Wood
As I inch closer to both my 500th Scotch review and my 800th whisky network review, I start looking over my different demi, quarter, and semi bottles. I ponder which order, and then consult the great source I usually do: A monk trapped in a brandy barrel for thousands of years that I swapped four cantaloupes and a Thaiwainese juggler’s contract for. You know, like… Continue reading Old Pulteney 1997 Kensington Wine Market Cask 1636
Thanks to /u/I_SAID_NO_GOLDFISH for this sample. Hey, look at that /u/TOModera guy! He’s reviewing a bunch of High End bourbons…. is he dying? No, just getting stuffed like Chuck Testa. And I don’t mean food. DICK JOKE! Anyway, there’s my dedication to Amy Schumer. Moving along, we have another one of the seemingly random and genius whiskies released by BT each year that makes us Bourbon… Continue reading Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Cured Oak
By fluke chance, I walked into a burger bar best known for it’s craft beer, and they had a whisky I haven’t had a chance to try yet. It’s like opening up a chocolate bar and then seeing a really tasty pretzel and buying it because you have no willpower. So like that. They even served it in a cool little glass to make it… Continue reading Wiser’s Last Barrels 14
