Wiser’s Union 52

Thanks to /u/devoz and /u/muadibb99 for the sample. So Wiser’s has this idea, right? They have a whisky they want to sell. It’s special, and they need a large company to pick it up. So they look around. Luckily they have someone in their back yard. And that’s how the LCBO ends up with Wiser’s Last […]

Liberty Pole Triple Review (Bassett Town Whiskey, Rye, Peated Bourbon)

Thanks to Liberty Pole spirits for the samples. I appreciate the chance to try your whisky. Liberty Pole is not the name of a strip joint in Pittsburgh. Well, it might be. However we’re not talking about that today. We’re discussing Liberty Pole Spirits. Washington Country, Pennsylvania was founded by Scotch-Irish veterans of the Revolutionary […]

Glenfarclas 25 Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection

Thanks to /u/kinohead for this sample. The names of the following story have been changed, as I don’t actually know their names. It’s a typical day at the Glenfarclas distillery. Jim, head guy, is enjoying some of the new music on his awesome walkman. He gets ready to meet with the head distillery. Sammy, the head […]

Crown Royal Hand Selected Barrel [Review of a New Bottle]

Thanks to /u/devoz for this sample. And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself in another part of the world And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife And you may ask […]

Port Ellen 20 1978 [Feather’s Flight Review Set #17]

Hey, it’s that whisky people wait for when it go to The Feathers Pub. Because it’s an Islay and you always finish with an Islay. Dammit. So this is pretty standard, as everyone can attest. You know, you go out, have a couple drams, finish up with a Port Ellen. Specifically Port Ellen 20 1978. […]

Millburn Signatory Vintage 1979 [Feather’s Flight Review Set #17]

The Feathers Pub! That’s where I went. What in the what is Millburn distillery? Well like a lot of the world, they stopped producing quality spirits in the 80s and fell into ruin, leaving us all with a gaping hole in our chests where they used to be. Well… that was a little melodramatic. The […]

Brora 1982 Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseur’s Choice [Feather’s Flight Review Set #17]

Went to The Feathers Pub for my belated birthday. And aimed to have some high end drams before they all went away and the LCBO hunts down anyone who even grows barley. Because that’s probably their next step. Until 1967, the Brora distillery was named Clynelish. Then it changed names, and started making heavily peated […]

Auchentoshan 25 1978 [Feather’s Flight Review Set #17]

Went to The Feathers Pub for my belated birthday. In my family, we don’t really love you if we celebrate your birthday on the day you were born. It’s against the rules. Also December is busy as fuck. With my father paying and my cousins nicely coming along, we ate English food (that I love) […]

Kilkerran Work In Progress 6 Bourbon Wood

Thanks to my wife for buying this when I was wishy-washy and then mocking me constantly with it, all while trading people gin for samples. I finally got to drink some guys! Only took a little while! Well, I mean I got to drink some and review it. The last time I had this was […]

Caol Ila SMWS 53.236 “Culinary Cannonballs”

Thanks to /u/xile_ for this sample. Blah blah been on a Caol Ila kick blah blah noted I needed more blah blah less peat blah blah fornication with a goat blah blah never allowed in Kuala Lampur again. I’ve said it before: I’m trying to catch up on the little distillery that I seemingly loved the […]
