Brora 29 1971 Old Malt Cask Douglas Laing [Feather’s Flight Review Set #18]

Each year I am brought out to The Feathers Pub, Toronto for my birthday. Some years multiple times. This year, just once, and that’s okay by me. Too much of a good thing and that. When selecting a Highland, I have to say that, assuming money is not a concern, my typical question is: What Brora do they have? Here again we see a distillery that is… Continue reading Brora 29 1971 Old Malt Cask Douglas Laing [Feather’s Flight Review Set #18]

Toronto Whisky Society’s Whiskies of the Year 2017

2017 was a great year for the Toronto Whisky Society (TWS), between hosting a number of wonderful tastings, visiting distilleries, reviewing whiskies, and of course all the great social events with members. It would be a waste to have all these great whisky lovers and not ask them for their whiskies of the year! Read below to see what whiskies were the highlights for a … Continue reading Toronto Whisky Society’s Whiskies of the Year 2017

Brora 25 (7th Release)

Thanks to /u/whisky_lads for this sample. I’m not 100% sure this is what it says it is. I’m a creep, tried finding it out. Can’t talk to the guy, he’s gone. I say you he’s gone! So I accept if he comes forward and says this isn’t what it says on the sample. Two months ago I had never had a Brora from my birth year.… Continue reading Brora 25 (7th Release)

Brora 1982 Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseur’s Choice [Feather’s Flight Review Set #17]

Went to The Feathers Pub for my belated birthday. And aimed to have some high end drams before they all went away and the LCBO hunts down anyone who even grows barley. Because that’s probably their next step. Until 1967, the Brora distillery was named Clynelish. Then it changed names, and started making heavily peated whisky to fill in issues with Islay not getting their… Continue reading Brora 1982 Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseur’s Choice [Feather’s Flight Review Set #17]

Brora 20 1982 Rare Malt

Thanks to /u/xile_ for sharing a dram of this one. Hey, look, it’s my birth year. Last year I decided, through no sense of my own or my finances (especially not my finances) that I’d do some samples of whiskies that were distilled in my birth year. 1982. I know, you’re thinking: I’ve seen /u/TOModera before, and he looks way older. He’s going bald and grey.… Continue reading Brora 20 1982 Rare Malt

Brora 30 Sherry Single Barrel Chieftain’s K&L Exclusive

Very big thanks to /u/Marcovici for this sought after dram. Speaking of which, fucking hell I wish we had K&L Wine Merchants in Ontario. They seem to get some cool shit. And they are wine merchants, so my wife would always be like “Hey, order whisky to go with my wine” and shit. Then we’d have crazy sex. Well, a guy can dram… uh, I mean… Continue reading Brora 30 Sherry Single Barrel Chieftain’s K&L Exclusive
