First off, yes. This is my 800th review on the whisky network. I’m now about 1% of the database. Part of it. A good chunk, at least. Second, thank you to /u/xile_ for this sample. I owe you, and thanks for giving me a milestone worthy dram to review. It’s kinda funny too, because a few days after reviewing this I ended up with a bad… Continue reading Glendronach 43 Year Old Single Cask (1971, #2920) [800th Whisky Review]
Toronto Whisky Society got together at Devoz’s house for a few drams…though the word ‘few’ is kind of a lie. boyd86 kinohead devoz and I were drinking all night and tomodera dropped by for some swaps too. here are the drams I tasted and some comments on each, verbatim from my hand-written notes that night, so you can probably tell which ones were later in the evening! Glenmorangie … Continue reading Toronto Whisky Society meetup at Devoz’s house, Feb 2016
So a while ago I promised to have a bunch of the Toronto Whisky Society guys down for a few drams and finally followed through on that promise. This was our first meet-up as a group aside from when we hit up Feather’s Pub a few months back.

Thanks to /u/LetThereBeR0ck for this sample. Recently realized that some of my stats were off, in that I had written down GlenDronach as a Speyside, yet everywhere I read has it as a Highland. Oh well. We all make mistakes. And to learn from them and use them to crush your enemies beneath your heels, enjoying the lamentations of their men and women, and generally… Continue reading GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 2
So awhile ago, I picked up three samples of GlenDronach whisky. And then I swapped a lot, cut back to two samples a week, did some other things, went on vacation, etc and promptly forgot about them, other than cracking the 12 for the community review (see link below. So now that I’ve cut back on swapping, and it’s a new year, it’s time to… Continue reading GlenDronach Quadruple Review [15 Revival, 15 Tawny Port Cask Finish, 18 Allardice, 21 Parliament]
Special thanks out to /u/Theonetheycalljane[2] , not only for the amazing name as a reference to Firefly or how much fun it is to say it out loud, but also for being great and doing a quick trade for a sample of the hard to find (for me) GlenDronach 12. This one is matured in both PX and Oloroso casks for 12 years, non-chill filtered,… Continue reading GlenDronach 12
