Four Roses 2015 Limited Edition Small Batch

Thanks to /u/devoz for sharing a dram of this whiskey. Number 2 of a recent tasting. No mysteries yet. I haven’t lost face yet. Except the wives are along this time. What if I say something truly horrible. Thank goodness not all of these are Cask Strength, just…. 8 of them. Fuck. I’m going to offend […]

Amrut 10 Greedy Angels

Thanks to /u/xile_ for sharing a dram of this one with us. Had a whisky tasting. And for this one, we went all out. Up first… You know what? I’m going to assume you want to know more about the whisky than anything else. And for this one, I’m going to be succinct. We drank a […]

O’Begley [Distillery Tasting & Review] — Toronto Whisky Society

And to finish my birthday bender on craft spirits we visited O’Begley’s Distillery. An interesting place, the storefront was originally used to sell Ice Cream. And now it sells something a little bit nicer. Granted I’m saying that because I review whiskey and not ice cream. I guess if I want to get diabetes faster […] […]

Finger Lakes Distilling [Distillery Tasting & Review] — Toronto Whisky Society

Visited Craft Distilleries on my Birthday weekend this year. I did reviews of them. They are the future, IMHO. We’re all good? Great. Oh, and it was in Western New York. I walked into Finger Lakes Distilling with much happiness and joy. It was a busy, busy place. Spirits were laid out. There were even […] […]

Myer Farm Distillery [Distillery Visit & Review] — Toronto Whisky Society

TL;DR other posts – I went to a bunch of craft distilleries for my birthday. It was a great time. Much booze and wine and beer was drank. I did reviews on the distilleries. You sat there and achieved less with your life. Now that that’s out of the way, we can move onto our […] […]

Black Button Distilling [Distillery Tasting & Review] — Toronto Whisky Society

For those of you who didn’t read the last distillery review, here’s a quick version: Craft Distillers interest me, I think they are the future, it’s my birthday, we went on vacation, I drank at them and reviewed them. Our next stop for distilleries (that had whiskey ready to review) was Black Button Distilling. Located […] […]

Buffalo Distilling Company — Toronto Whisky Society

This year for my birthday I did something different. Instead of heading to a bar and drinking quite a bit, we headed down south to New York (just blew your mind if you live in the US) and drank quite a bit at craft distilleries. Now Craft Distilleries are in a bit of an odd […] […]

Bruichladdich Black Arts 4

Changes are an interesting thing that happen to us all. Or rather, the world and we with it change, grow, shatter, fall down, and get back up. For some, nostalgia is part of the human condition. Happiness, beauty, and other human emotions are connected to a thing, a time, or a place, and any diminished […]

Stronachie 18 A.D. Rattray

Thanks to /u/stinkysauce for this sample. So when is a whisky from a distillery not a whisky from that distillery? When someone tries desperately to figure out how it was made and how to recreate it, of course. Also the same answer is true for a crow and a writing desk and an Irishman, a Jew, […]

Springbank 12 Claret Wood [Via Allegro Review Set #1]

WARNING: Take this review with a grain of salt. Reason below. TL;DR – Drank a peated whisky before it. Skip to where I say “On to the dram”. You see, this is the second whisky I reviewed at Via Allegro. This was chosen by me. You see, when I was offered the last dram, I […]
