Thanks to /u/PeatReek for including this mystery sample as part of our recent swap. So I’m doing things a little bit different for this mystery review. Normally I post a guess, and then find out if I’m right or wrong. In this case I reviewed it, and then found out I was wrong from /u/PeatReek after the fact. Fun times, eh? So mystery drams and Single Grain… Continue reading Strathclyde 23 Battlehill
Thanks to all the people who swapped me these. It’s been awhile, so I can’t find where they came from. Apologies. I’m logging in my swaps now to ensure that everyone gets a shout out in the future. So fun story time (feel free to skip): I ended up wanting to do a review of all the Nikka Malts. And then I wanted to do… Continue reading Nikka Triple Leftovers Review [Coffey Grain, Yoichi 10, Miyagikyo 15]
And back to the Irish marathon that everyone loves and hates, all at the same time. So grab a potato, sit back, and generally enjoy a distinct culture. Fun. Up next, c/o Flaviar to me, is Greenore 8. This is 100% Single Grain whiskey, which was aged in ex-Bourbon casks. Produced by the Cooley distillery. Also, in contrast to other Irish whiskies, this whiskey is… Continue reading Greenore 8
You say to someone, “How’s that 47 year old Whisky?” and you’re kinda in a bind. I mean, Age = Quality, right? Something older than me was cradled, protected, untouched, and has cost so much to make. And more wood equals better, right? Probably not. I mean, we’ve already seen that climate affects the taste. Young whiskies can be good. There’s expectations of terroir that… Continue reading Girvan 47 year old 1965 (cask 9487) The Clan Denny
3rd times the charm…. I’m going to be on my best behaviour today, as I’m reviewing a single grain whisky. And if you’ve been following, every single time I review a single grain whisky, I screw something up and /u/UncleTobys finds something I’ve written wrong. Thus I’m a tad more paranoid than usual. Which is a new state for me, as I’m normally really paranoid. Like,… Continue reading Port Dundas 20 year old (2011 Release)
Hi all, it’s that time again…. where I go the Feather’s Pub[1] in Toronto, have a great time, review whisky that is purchased for me (or by me) and I do a set of more reviews than I should for my health. Food is always great, local, well priced, great service, and fun times. Jim McEwan is showing up Tuesday, go out and have a… Continue reading North British 18 1979 Signatory Vintage [Feather’s Flight Review Set #5]
And now for a couple of weirdos. I was out of SMWS, and noticed two interesting bottles on the top shelf of the Parcel Yard. Finding out that they were, in fact, Scotch, I asked for a dram of each (on two separate occasions, otherwise liver = dead). The first was the Cambus 1991 Signatory Vintage Cask Strength 20 year old. I’ve never had a… Continue reading Cambus 20 1991 Signatory Vintage Cask Strength Collection
