Had a tasting. Didn’t have a set idea. Just brought out whiskies we wanted to drink. Like we should. I decided upon High West Yippee Ki-Yay. Why? Because something this odd needs to be savoured. But what is High West Yippee Ki-Yay? The name would denote using ex-bean casks and potentially quoting Blazing Saddles while it ages. I don’t know about the second part. I assume that’s… Continue reading High West Yippee Ki-Yay
Baseball and Bottled-in-bond Bourbons… doesn’t get much more American than that! Except I’m in Canada, and I’m watching the Blue Jays. I’ve had these two bottles for a while, and the Henry McKenna came in a swap with /u/lecheconcarnie nearly two years ago. Realized I could do a three-way BiB multi-review, so let’s see how they fare! (both the bourbons and the Blue Jays… I’ll give updates … Continue reading Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon & Blue Jays Baseball Bonanza
Back in June, TWS held a tasting event with Brown-Forman at JOEY in the Eaton Centre. This was a joint event with @MaltCollective on Instagram, and was a great evening, enjoyed greatly by the 20+ attendees who were there! The team at JOEY brought out some amazing food and the service was second to none! A huge thank you to the animated and knowledgeable John Breckon … Continue reading Brown-Forman Tasting Event at JOEY
Toronto Whisky Society were privileged enough to be sent bottles and samples of Do Good distilleries offerings. We’d like to start out by thanking Do Good for these samples, and for being patient while we waited for someone to legally bring them back from the US. Do Good Distillery is built upon the ideal of making unique, wonderful craft spirits. Their emphasis is on whisky. They use … Continue reading Toronto Whisky Society Do Good Distillery Reviews
I’d like to start by thanking Do Good for these free samples. They were gracious and nice enough to patiently wait until we could receive them in the US, and legally bringing it back so that multiple members of the Toronto Whisky Society could try 4 of their offerings. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. A summary of our reviews will be posted on… Continue reading Do Good Distillery
Thanks to /u/boyd86 for this sample. So you may be wondering, like me, what’s up with life? But we’re not here to talk about that. We’re here to answer a different question. Most of you have had Bulleit Bourbon. Or rather, you’ve had Bulleit Bourbon Frontier Whisky. And maybe you’ve had the Indiana made Bulleit Rye. So, like me, when you first heard of Bulleit Bourbon… Continue reading Bulleit Bourbon 10
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
Anyways, recently I’ve decided to get into some more bourbons and see what I like/dislike. Also have to work on finishing up that Chinese flag I have beside my name. So when swapping with /u/tvraisedme[3] , who is amazing. I mean, I swapped with him and he even let me decide what kind of whisk(e)y. I said Rye, he sent me Rye. I could have… Continue reading Willett Family Rye 4 [Mystery Review]
