New Ireland Distilleries Tasting Flight (Liberties Oak Devil, Silkie, Dingle Single Malt)

So it’s the first day. Or roughly the first day. We’re waiting for our hotel. This is before the last review, because my order ended up all screwy. We walk into the Dingle Whiskey Bar. Without gushing too much about this place, it ends up becoming one of my favourite, if not the best, bars […]

Powers Three Swallow

So I’m in Dublin. Or at least at the time of drinking this whiskey, I’m in Dublin. The one in Ireland. Not the one is Wyoming. Now that you’re done checking if there’s a Dublin Wyoming, let’s move on. I bounced around to quite a few bars. I even went to some distilleries, some whiskey […]

Ardbeg SMWS 33.134 “Peat roasted pig Hawaiian style” & SMWS 33.143 “Thank you and goodnight!”

I’ve been here before. I just didn’t realize it when I bought the bottles. There I was, in a black and white office, sitting back, doing what we all do at work: Try and work while talking with friends. The announcement woke me from a sound half sleep that only work could provide, knocking me […]

Wiser’s Dissertation

I’d like to thank Wiser’s for the sample of this whisky. Wiser’s Dissertation is a new LCBO exclusive offering from Wiser’s. Recently there have been quite a few of these, and they’ve been quite nice to a group I am part of, the Toronto Whisky Society. That said, as you can see, I have not […]

Ardbeg 10 Portwood

Thanks to /u/oliviervdv for both making this (yes, making it) and sending me a sample! Before you get too worried, start looking through all the potential whiskies, and start breaking down Glenmorangie’s door, no, Ardbeg 10 Portwood is not on the market at the moment. It was made by oliviervdv, in his… house, I’m assuming. Totally […]

Aberlour 10 (1990s bottling)

I recently had the chance to try a sample of the upcoming Toronto Whisky Society bottling. More on that in the future. Far into the future. Unless you ask or are part of it, then you’ll find out. When people talk about the good ole days, I, as a Millenial, immediately think they are a […]

Littlemill 26 The Whisky Agency Bottled Letters

I recently had the chance to try a sample of the upcoming Toronto Whisky Society bottling. More on that in the future. Far into the future. Unless you ask or are part of it, then you’ll find out. So we tried the sample of the bottling, had some excellent snacks (provided by Igor’s wife, who […]

Glen Grant SMWS 9.88 “A heart-starter”

I recently had the chance to try a sample of the upcoming Toronto Whisky Society bottling. More on that in the future. Far into the future. Unless you ask or are part of it, then you’ll find out. But first we needed something to open up our tastebuds. And as an excellent hose, Igor, who […]

Macaloney’s Victoria Caledonian Mac Na Braiche – STR Cask

Recently the Toronto Whisky Society was privileged enough to be visited by Victoria Caledonian Brewery and Distillery. They are a newer brewery and distillery who have been making beer and whisky for quite awhile. The whisky that is being made by Victoria Caledonian is called Macaloney’s Victoria Caledonian Mac Na Braiche – STR Cask. Well, […]

Victorian Caledonian Blended Malt

Recently the Toronto Whisky Society was privileged enough to be visited by Victoria Caledonian Brewery and Distillery. They are a newer brewery and distillery who have been making beer and whisky for quite awhile. However this isn’t your average brand new distillery in Canada. The master distiller, Mike Nicolson, spent 36 years making Scotch for […]
