Was visiting family down near Pittsburgh for a weekend and decided to check out the city, as I’d never been before. In the Strip district we came across the Wigle Distillery. We went in and they were selling flights, so I decided to try this “most awarded craft distillery”‘s offerings (and see if it’s most awarded because of quality, or because they enter the most … Continue reading Wigle Whiskey [Distillery Visit & Reviews]
Rabbit Hole Distillery was founded in 2012 by Kaveh Zamanian and his wife, after 20 years in academia, with a goal of making unique whiskeys and experimenting with unique recipes. He’s collaborated with a number of former head distillers for the largest spirit companies in the world to develop his recipes. We received these samples from the distillery, as they wanted some reviews on the … Continue reading Rabbit Hole Distillery Spotlight and Reviews
Today I post this to commemorate the closing doors of a distillery. The Toronto Distillery Co has been operating out of the Junction in Toronto since 2012 and has made some really interesting stuff over the years. In past posts, I’ve covered their gin, white whiskies, beet liquor, First Barrels at bottled ABV and at cask strength, as well as their Hickory Cask whisky at … Continue reading Distillery Down… sort of; Toronto Distillery Co closes its doors but opens its R&D shelf and shares its plans for the future
And to finish my birthday bender on craft spirits we visited O’Begley’s Distillery. An interesting place, the storefront was originally used to sell Ice Cream. And now it sells something a little bit nicer. Granted I’m saying that because I review whiskey and not ice cream. I guess if I want to get diabetes faster I could do both, but not for now. O’Begley’s Distillery … Continue reading O’Begley [Distillery Tasting & Review]
Visited Craft Distilleries on my Birthday weekend this year. I did reviews of them. They are the future, IMHO. We’re all good? Great. Oh, and it was in Western New York. I walked into Finger Lakes Distilling with much happiness and joy. It was a busy, busy place. Spirits were laid out. There were even ex-bourbon barrel chunks to be bought. Newspapers that were laminated … Continue reading Finger Lakes Distilling [Distillery Tasting & Review]
TL;DR other posts – I went to a bunch of craft distilleries for my birthday. It was a great time. Much booze and wine and beer was drank. I did reviews on the distilleries. You sat there and achieved less with your life. Now that that’s out of the way, we can move onto our next distillery: Myer Farms Distillery Situated in the Finger Lakes … Continue reading Myer Farm Distillery [Distillery Visit & Review]
For those of you who didn’t read the last distillery review, here’s a quick version: Craft Distillers interest me, I think they are the future, it’s my birthday, we went on vacation, I drank at them and reviewed them. Our next stop for distilleries (that had whiskey ready to review) was Black Button Distilling. Located in Rochester, Black Button Distilling is located in an old … Continue reading Black Button Distilling [Distillery Tasting & Review]
This post is a throwback to Forty Creek’s Whisky Weekend in 2014. I had long enjoyed Forty Creek as the better alternative to the Canadian whisky standards of Crown and CC. I’d bought a bunch of the limited editions in the past and figured why not check out the distillery and get one of the limited edition bottlings in person plus a signature? So I pre-ordered … Continue reading Forty Creek Deconstruction Tasting & Reviews
This year for my birthday I did something different. Instead of heading to a bar and drinking quite a bit, we headed down south to New York (just blew your mind if you live in the US) and drank quite a bit at craft distilleries. Now Craft Distilleries are in a bit of an odd spot. The spirits are young. The prices can be high … Continue reading Buffalo Distilling Company
Hi, Devoz here. I apologize in advance for what will be something rather long and rambling. Thursday night I was lucky enough to get a private tour of Toronto Distillery Co., as part of the Toronto Whisky Society. It was a great experience to tour and sample a small craft distiller in Toronto. To give you an idea of the scope of the operation, Toronto … Continue reading Toronto Whisky Society Wiser’s Distillery Tour + Union 52 Review
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
Wasn’t even aware of Dixon’s Distilled Spirits till I saw a sign on the Hanlon in Guelph the other day, then when I checked out their website, I saw they were having a 1yr anniversary event that day and decided to check it out. Here are some pictures from their 1 year anniversary event! Jeremie is the head distiller and Miranda is the youngest female distiller in Canada for … Continue reading Toronto Whisky Society member visits Dixon’s Distillery 1 year anniversary
