Jim Beam Legent
Thanks to my buddy for pouring me a dram of his bottle. So awhile ago I was out in Alberta. Just hanging out, visiting friends, enjoying rural Canada in all it’s beautiful glory. One thing that popped up while in Calgary (not rural Canada, had to come in from the massive farms and beautiful landscapes due to tornados (and whisky)) was?Jim Beam Legent. A friend… Continue reading Jim Beam Legent
Alberta Premium Cask Strength & 20yr Limited Editions
Alberta Premium has long been that diamond-cut bottle of rye on the bottom shelf at the LCBO – a decent Canadian rye that has a loyal following, but little attention paid by the connoisseur community. Many in the know were aware that a lot of AP’s older barrels were sold south of the border to companies like WhistlePig and others. In 2019, either due to … Continue reading Alberta Premium Cask Strength & 20yr Limited Editions
2019 Northern Border Collection Rare Range Tasting
Many of our members have been fans of the Northern Border Collection all the way back to when it was just a twinkle in Dr. Don Livermore’s eye, and we’ve had the good fortune to try each of the rare range releases over the past three years. For the inaugural line-up, we had Dave Mitton come in and introduce them to us. Last year, we … Continue reading 2019 Northern Border Collection Rare Range Tasting
Glen Moray Elgin Classic – Peated
Thanks to my buddy for pouring me a dram on vacation. It’s no secret that I enjoy Glen Moray every so often. I’ve reviewed a handful of them. They change up quite a bit based on what cask someone put it in. Oh, and based on their OB?Glen Moray Elgin Classic – Peated, they also play around with a peated dram. So variety is the… Continue reading Glen Moray Elgin Classic – Peated
Ron Burgundy Great Odin’s Raven Special Reserve
Thanks to my buddy for having this on hand. I love scotch. Scotchy scotch scotch.?Ron Burgundy Great Odin’s Raven Special Reserve?is a Scotch. As such, here it goes down, down in my belly. My buddy brought out this whisky as something I should have reviewed a while ago. Why? Well, I don’t know how to put this but I’m kind of a big deal. That’s… Continue reading Ron Burgundy Great Odin’s Raven Special Reserve
Laphroaig Distillers Wares Tour
It’s the final true day on Islay, and to finish this journey off with a bang I decided to leave the most anticipated tour for last: the Laphroaig Distillers Wares Tour. Laphroaig was one of the first distilleries that truly got me in to drinking single malt whisky. So as I venture onto my final booked tour on Islay I’m very much excited to see … Continue reading Laphroaig Distillers Wares Tour
Bunnahabhain Warehouse 9 Tasting
It’s now Day 2 of my Islay expedition and this one will be quite a more arduous journey then any other distillery tour I’ve experienced here on Islay. Not because of the distillery experience itself but because of it’s extremely remote location being the northernmost distillery on Islay. Since my dad and I didn’t have a car to use on Islay and the bus schedule … Continue reading Bunnahabhain Warehouse 9 Tasting
Caol Ila 12 2006 North Star
Everything about Caol Ila, on paper, without trying their whisky spells disaster. It’s massive amounts of whisky pumped out industrially owned by a large company. And yet… dammit if I don’t really enjoy their whisky. So I guess I gotta stop judging books by covers and all that. Oh, how my life would be different. So today I’m reviewing?Caol Ila 12 2006 North Star, a… Continue reading Caol Ila 12 2006 North Star
Laphroaig 20 1996 Adelphi
Thanks to?/u/xile_?for pouring me this dram. How do you end an epic tasting that includes good steak, beef bacon, sausages, and staring into the abyss? Why with a Laphroaig of course! Laphroaig 20 1996 Adelphi?is to round out the tasting. And since it’s from Adelphi, I’m lucky that they listed the alcohol the information is so sparse. So let’s just get to it, shall we?… Continue reading Laphroaig 20 1996 Adelphi
