Glenfarclas 21 [Re-review]

Re-reviews are fun. Let me just start with that. And it was /u/Allumina[1] who sent me this initially as a blind review back for secret swap, and I decided that I needed to re-review it, as I wanted a cleaner palate, no time limit, and generally to be in a better mood to give it […]

Glen Garioch 1797 Founder’s Reserve

Special thanks to /u/muaddib99 for the swap for this one, much appreciated! Let’s be honest: When most of us hear of a commemorative bottle that is NAS, we don’t automatically think “Wow, that’s going to be amazing!” We think… well…. that’ll cost a bit more for almost the same. And a little bit of that drunk […]

Tobermory 15

So… like I need more downvotes with the reviews I’ve been putting up on /r/Wine, however, I think I owe this distillery, and /u/reddbdb to keep reviewing them. Thanks to /u/PACitizen for the sample. For those of you wondering, I’m not a fan of Tobermory 10. You can find each of the reviews of it I have […]

Whistle Pig Boss Hog 2013

Thanks to /u/EMoneySC2[1] for the dram! I’m sometimes asked why I want some of the Ryes aged in the US that source their juice from Canada. I mean, I could just buy the Canadian whisky, right? Well… there are some differences. First off, yes, the rye and the water comes from Alberta. And I don’t […]

Glenfarclas 25

Big thanks to /u/Allumina for swapping me this dram and some other Glenfarclas to help round out the distillery. Glenfarclas 25 is the next extension I’ve done in the Glenfarclas line. Don’t worry, I’ll be jumping back down the line to try the 21 year, and I’m still searching out the 18 year just to be […]

Arran Aszu Tokaji Wine Cask [The Dam Pub Flight Review Set #1]

All amazing things must, eventually, come to an end. And for end, that ended with a Scotch at The Dam Pub. I did a 5 point flight of 3 Canadians, 1 Japanese, and 1 Scotch, and you can find them over at /r/worldwhisky. Well, it’s not really the end, I mean… seriously, I’m going back. […]

Karuizawa 8 [The Dam Pub Flight Review Set #1]

Hey, have you gone to the The Dam Pub yet? Why not? 700 different whiskies. And it’s in Thornbury, a quaint town with a Cheese shop and loads to do. Not to mention, you can visit Collingwood for their annual, massive Elvis festival. Seriously, what more do you people need? Alright, I know what you need: […]

Forty Creek Small Batch Reserve [The Dam Pub Flight Review Set #1]

Hey! You! Yes, you! The person reading these words, thinking it’s a review! Yes, it’s a review, but first, if you want to go to a pub with over 700 whiskies, then it’s time to visit The Dam Pub . Please come to Ontario, the area is amazing. I walked in treetops and flew down zip […]

Forty Creek John’s Private Cask No. 1 [The Dam Pub Flight Review Set #1]

Back with another review, this one also from The Dam Pub. You need to go there, because not only is the food good, the ambiance distinctly Celtic, but there are over 700 whiskies available. And if that doesn’t get you there, then the Bread Pudding or the Chocolate Pate will. Or the monthly whisky club. […]

Alberta Premium 25 [The Dam Pub Flight Review Set #1]

Hey all, sorry for not posting for a week. Had a 30th birthday one week, and my 4th anniversary this weekend, so I needed to take a week from doing reviews to ensure I didn’t end up floating. While out in the Collingwood area, my wife and I discovered a new, amazing, 700+ whisky pub. […]
