Macallan Sherry Cask 18 1995

So in case you missed my last review, basically I was sent an old Macallan to try by /u/Porkpants81[1] , enjoyed his swine legged generosity, and decided it would be a Macallan weekend. Which basically means my two reviews this week are old Macallan whiskies. I’ve been slowly working my way through the three recommendation […]

Macallan Fine Oak 17

You learn new things be revisiting older drams of younger ones you didn’t particularly care for. When I tried Macallan 10 year Fine Oak, I wasn’t that kind. I assumed (wrongly) that it was just the Macallan Juice, placed in an ex-bourbon cask, and spat out to sit on shelves and show off it’s massive […]

Bruichladdich 35 1966 Old Malt Cask [Feather’s Flight Review Set #5]

Went to Feather’s Pub[1] again, had a great time, my parents were involved, we had fun. This one is brought to us by my mother, who noted the colour was quite nice, and as such, I had to try it. In 1966, Bruichladdich Distillery stopped malting their own barely, and started buying it from Port […]

Port Ellen 24 [Feather’s Flight Review Set #5]

If you’re just tuning in, it’s that time of year again, when either I or my buddy has a birthday, I take him out or I am taken out to The Feather’s Pub[1] , eat, and be merry. Also I do a bevy of reviews. My father surprised me on this last trip. He asked […]

Arran Lepanto PX Brandy Cask Finish [Feather’s Flight Review Set #5]

Part two of the Feather’s Drams #5 series, where I go to Feather’s[1] , have some interesting drams, some great food, and people buy me drinks. Last review was brought to us by my parents and my wife, and this one differs in that it was the Pub itself that found out we were celebrating […]

North British 18 1979 Signatory Vintage [Feather’s Flight Review Set #5]

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 […]

Yamazaki 12

Japanese malts and I have an odd history so far. I’ve had only a few, and one of them turned out to be the best World Whisky I’ve ever reviewed. The others… were over priced for what they were. So when /u/UncleToby[1] ‘s (Thanks again for the swap mate) offered me a dram of the […]

Pig’s Nose

It’s time to start finishing up the Beginner’s list, and other than not being able to obtain a dram of Glenfarclas 12 to save my life (It’s my sad white whale… like a White Mackeral), it’s time to do the ones I can find, and that means more blends. Because we have to do Blends. […]

GlenDronach 12

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 […]

Do the Dew! Tullamore Dew Original

We’ve all been there. You walk into a small town bar, with old friends, and you look at the alcohol selection and grimace. It’s a beer town, and maybe you don’t drink beer. Or it’s a wine town and you don’t drink wine. Or it’s a cocktail bar and they have so many coloured bottles […]
