Holiday Gift Buying Guide for Toronto Whisk(e)y Lovers

Got a whisky/whiskey lover on your holiday list? With the holidays fast approaching people have asked me for suggestions on what to get those who enjoy drinking whisky/whiskey this year. General Gifts: Do not get them whisky stones.  Almost every whiskey drinker I know has a pile of whisky stones that were well intention gifts over the years. Most whiskey drinkers will rarely, if ever, … Continue reading Holiday Gift Buying Guide for Toronto Whisk(e)y Lovers

O’Begley [Distillery Tasting & Review]

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]

Finger Lakes Distilling [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]

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.

Forty Creek Deconstruction Tasting & Reviews

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

#FroaigFriday review: Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength Batch 4

I received this sample in a reddit swap with TWS member /u/kinohead when we met up for a pint in Toronto.

Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength batch 004 – 58.6% ABV Appearance: quite a deep orange, and appears thick and … Continue reading #FroaigFriday review: Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength Batch 4

This was my first limited edition from Laphroaig. Laphroaig Cairdeas 2012 Origin – 51.2% ABV Appearance: pale peach-orange Nose: lots of smoke, but sweet. Boggy peat. Some fruitines but I can’t place it. Floral … Continue reading #FroaigFriday Review: Laphroaig Cairdeas Origin 2012
