Craigellachie 9 2008 Single Cask Nation Oloroso Sherry Octaves

Thanks to /u/Saba007[ for pouring me this sample. When’s a raven like a writing desk? When you’re in a horror movie and you’ve decided to force a living animal down in order to write on top of it, blood and feathers flying about, screaming borrowing itself into your mind. Not all riddles are meant to be answered, as otherwise, everything seems violent, disturbing, and generally not fun.… Continue reading Craigellachie 9 2008 Single Cask Nation Oloroso Sherry Octaves

Craigellachie 9 2007 Maltbarn

Thanks to Igor for pouring me a dram. When I first saw this Craigellachie, I was a little apprehensive. Not because the person who picked it isn’t good at picking whisky; he’s quite good at that. Rather the only Craigellachie’s I’ve had stood out because of the odd age statement, hipster packaging, or generally didn’t impress me much. Like that time I dressed up and… Continue reading Craigellachie 9 2007 Maltbarn

Craigellachie 23

Thanks to my buddy John for bringing this dram. Okay, so a few caveats on this review, as I feel I need to come back to this bottle after the fact. This whisky was reviewed as part of my yearly spirit gathering up North with some close friends. This was drank 5th, and the last one I reviewed. I took a long time between drams,… Continue reading Craigellachie 23

Craigellachie 13

Thanks to /u/kinohead for sharing this dram. Saying there is a lot of distilleries in the Speyside region is somewhat akin to saying there’s a lot of people living in cities. It doesn’t really address the situation well at all. The scary thing is, while it’s the largest region of whisky I’ve ever reviewed, there are still some distilleries that are popular and yet I’ve never… Continue reading Craigellachie 13

This was our first meet-up as a group aside from when we hit up Feather’s Pub a few months back. We had 6 guys out including me and a buddy of mine from Hamilton, jolarbear devoz kinohead and tomodera. … Continue reading Toronto Whisky Society Meetup at Bryan’s Condo, 2015

Craigellachie 18 Cadenhead Small Batch

So I’m at Cadenhead’s recommended bar, having a nice dram, enjoying myself, and I ask them for a recommendation, which is really the only thing to do when presented with that much whisky. The bartender (great guy) mentioned I should go for one of the IB, as they were specific to the bar. Which was awesome. He picked out his favourite, let me have a… Continue reading Craigellachie 18 Cadenhead Small Batch
