Thanks to /u/Uncletobys for the samples. Heartwood is an independent bottler. However, to stop there in describing them doesn’t really do them justice. Most independent bottlers make their way into a distillery, buy a cask that the distillery is willing to sell (typically one that doesn’t fit with their release schedules or flavour profiles), they bottle it, and sell it out to us, the whisky lovers. Heartwood… Continue reading Four Heartwood Whiskies
So I’m at a tasting. And I showed up with a whisky to lower everyone’s overall scores. This was requested. I bought my bottle of Hellyers Road Original on a whim. I hadn’t had an Aussie whisky ever. Wait, is that English? Let’s try this again. Me not have Australian whisky yet. Then I forgot about it. Then I tried to bring it back to the LCBO.… Continue reading Hellyers Road Original
Thanks to UncleTobys for these samples. I have a whisky bucket list. Or rather, as I’ve started calling them, my white whales. These are odd or interesting or quite tasty drams I want to try. For instance, Hibiki 30 is on that list. And the whisky made of bagels. And Bruichladdich Fishky. Not to mention trying Heartwood. Which if you’re following along, is something I’ve… Continue reading Heartwood Triple Review (Epiphany of the Lakes, Any Port in a Storm [Winter Edition], Convict Resurrection)

Thanks to UncleTobys for this sample. I watch a lot of procedural police dramas. It’s one of many horrible things I do to balance out the good I try and put out in the world. Because life is about balance. It’s also pretty rough when you’re not able to contact the person who swapped you anymore. Add onto that it’s from Australia, and you know… Continue reading New World Projects Starward Limited Release
The one on the right…. That says Limeburners…. Others I didn’t drink as I wasn’t at this and this was the only image of the bottle I could find Thanks to UncleTobys for this sample. Going to start this review a little bit different. So I reviewed this whisky blind. I’ve heard of Limeburners when people talk about Aussie whisky, but didn’t know much. This… Continue reading Limeburners Single Malt American Barrel M197
Special thanks again to everyone’s favourite Uncle for the sample of this one. So, as I said before, this whisky was, and still is, on my Bucket list. I wanted to try it so much, and now I have, so now I set a new goal, which is to keep trying a bunch of different whiskys before I die. Or after, because maybe I’ll come… Continue reading Heartwood Convict Redemption (Batch 2)
