Bird Dog Blackberry Flavored Whiskey

Thanks to /u/devoz for this sample. No, really. My constant desire to review every single whiskey under the sun is unrelenting as…. well, the sun. That didn’t start well… let’s try this again. I love to review all whiskies. Doesn’t matter the type. I specifically hunt down anything I haven’t had before. So during a recent tasting, I was taking a break while other people reviewed a… Continue reading Bird Dog Blackberry Flavored Whiskey

Centennial Canadian Rye Whisky Dark Chocolate

This was tasted as part of the Toronto Whisky Society. We were given this bottle from Highwood Distillers for the purpose of reviewing it. We take our reviews seriously, and do not give higher marks because something is free. I appreciate the donation from Highwood. Assuming no one reads that, feel free to call me a shill in the comments. This is the first Centennial… Continue reading Centennial Canadian Rye Whisky Dark Chocolate

Jim Beam Red Stag Hardcore Cider

Thank you to… damn, didn’t write it down. Sorry about that. Some guy gave me this. He didn’t want anything back. Said it was bad. I’ve said, multiple times, that if someone releases something and calls it a whiskey, I’ll review it. Recently I’ve had quite a few whiskies from different distilleries that most people have commented on as “rough” and “holy damn that wasn’t… Continue reading Jim Beam Red Stag Hardcore Cider

Sortilège

Kinda did this backwards. Started with the high end version, then bought a mini of the standard offering. Granted I’m doing the same with this review, so why change now? This is, technically, not a whisky. It’s a whisky based spirit drink that has dropped below the mandatory 40% to still be a whisky. But where’s my manners… oh, yeah, I dropped them for these… Continue reading Sortilège

Crown Royal Hand Selected Barrel/ Michel Couvreur Intravagan’za Single Malt Whiskey / Sortilege Prestige

The following three reviews seem a little odd to have paired together. They were done as a yearly mystery swap that is done over at Reddit. I received these from /u/devoz . He stated “It was tough finding things you’ve never reviewed, but I found them!” Dear Fucking God I hope he didn’t just piss in some sample bottles. So he sent me three. And… Continue reading Crown Royal Hand Selected Barrel/ Michel Couvreur Intravagan’za Single Malt Whiskey / Sortilege Prestige

Knob Creek Line-up (Straight Bourbon, Rye, Single Barrel, Smoked Maple)

Thanks to /u/Devoz, /u/Boyd86, and /u/LecheConCarnie for the samples on this one. Companies are weird at times. You’ll see them buy out or build these brands that seemingly overlap, or should overlap. However having worked with some of these companies, there is method to the seeming madness. Jim Beam is one such company (I haven’t worked with them). There’s the Jim Beam line-up, which is… Continue reading Knob Creek Line-up (Straight Bourbon, Rye, Single Barrel, Smoked Maple)

Drambuie & Drambuie 15

Flavoured whisky… it’s a bitch, isn’t it? A new idea, brought forward by a bunch of people who don’t spend half the time of even the beginner of beginner’s of whisky. It’s Cinnamon or Cherry or Honey bullshit, that’s what it is. Except.. wait, what about Drambuie? So yes, that’s a strawman.Completely. Most people here probably don’t mind or even enjoy a flavoured whisky every… Continue reading Drambuie & Drambuie 15

Crown Royal Maple [Mystery Review]

Being part of two Secret Santa Swaps this year was a great treat. I’m utter crap when it comes to two things: Identifying Mystery Drams and Shopping for Gifts. So when /u/Porkpants81[1] (not to be confused with the other 80 people with non-Kosher or Halal pants) sent me a perfect bevy of drams, I was elated. I didn’t think anyone would be that amazing to… Continue reading Crown Royal Maple [Mystery Review]
