Thanks to?/u/devoz[+9]?for pouring me a sample of this. “Hey guys, I bought a bottle of Jack Daniel’s” It’s one of those moments we all dread. He’s gotten the crazy. We have to take him outside, and shoot him. I joke of course. We’d bring him to doctors to properly put down. Or keep making fun of him. That helps one’s mental health, right? Alright, joking… Continue reading Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Strength – 17-5593
I was privileged enough to go to the Toronto Whisky Society’s recent tasting, in which we were able to serve five different high end malts, all of which are available at the Kensington Wine Market, where a member was able to pick it up and bring it back to us. American whiskey has it’s own flavours, it’s own types, and it’s own style. A mixture of location,… Continue reading Very Fine Old Tennessee Bourbon 13 2003 The Whisky Agency
Back in June, TWS held a tasting event with Brown-Forman at JOEY in the Eaton Centre. This was a joint event with @MaltCollective on Instagram, and was a great evening, enjoyed greatly by the 20+ attendees who were there! The team at JOEY brought out some amazing food and the service was second to none! A huge thank you to the animated and knowledgeable John Breckon … Continue reading Brown-Forman Tasting Event at JOEY
Thank you to /u/walking_spanish [+3] for this mystery dram. Mysteries are fun. They make you take a moment and really review something without per-conceived notions. Also walking_spanish did an amazing job of hiding the final thoughts on this one. Seriously, if you send out a mystery, learn from him. A folded piece of paper with the reveal? Super awesome. Makes for more fun. Also I know a bunch… Continue reading Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof [Mystery Review]
Recently I was lucky enough to join the Toronto Whisky Society in the first of what we hope is a constant amount of tastings. In order to give everyone a shot at coming out, the entry “fee” was to bring a bottle that was NAS/10 years that was at least half full. The following reviews are from said tasting, in which I was able to… Continue reading George Dickel Superior No. 12
This is the last of my The Feather’s Pub birthday dram reviews. Typically these are all on /r/scotch, since it’s a Scotch bar, and I’m more of a Scotch fan. However something happened while there that I need to share, so let me set the stage: I go out for my birthday. I attempt about 4-5 reviews during that time, with lots of breaks, water, etc.… Continue reading Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 [Feather’s Flight Review Set #13 / Re-Review]
Corsair Distillery is an interesting outfit. And to continue on my American Whiskey kick, they’re next up on the chopping block. First up, thanks to /u/tvraisedme for the sample of Corsair Rasputin, and /u/mentel42 for the Corsair Triple Smoke. The story behind the distillery is one made out of every homemakers dream book (with ponies on it). Two guys try to make a bio-diesel plant, one mentions… Continue reading Corsair Rasputin / Corsair Triple Smoke
So at the time of this review, it’s Christmas, and as usual, I’m overeating, having a good time with family, and looking through my Uncle’s booze, searching for something I haven’t reviewed before. And I find Gentleman Jack. One of two Jack Daniel’s products I have yet to review. And I sigh, and pour myself a snifter of it. Fun thing, this is basically Jack… Continue reading Gentleman Jack
So…. I like being a part of these community reviews. Seriously, they are a lot of fun. Pushes me to go out and try something I wouldn’t normally push myself to try. But why Jack Daniel’s Old No.7? Why do I own this now? A little back story: My buddy started drinking this about 4 years ago. And he drank it hard. And when he… Continue reading Jack Daniel’s Old No.7
I decided in the past few days that I needed to start reviewing some more Bourbon. Luckily my father is a big bourbon fan, so I decided I’d raid some of his stash. What are sons’ for otherwise? The first one I tried was the Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel. I’ve always been leery of anything by Jack Daniel’s. I have a buddy who drinks it,… Continue reading Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel
