Balblair 1990 (2nd Edition)(2013 Bottling)

Thanks to /u/cake_my_day for this sample If you’ve been watching my whisky reviews like a hound, then may I suggest a new hobby, because I write a lot of reviews. You’ll also know I make that joke way too much. However you’d also note that I’ve reviewed a Balblair 1990 (2nd Edition) before. So why such a quite re-review? […]

Compass Box Enlightenment

Thanks to /u/WDMC-905 for this sample. We’ve all been there. That moment where you’re plugging along, trying to change life, trying to be better, and… you end up tired, in the middle of things, and dragging your ass along. You go back to trying to do those things that make you happy… However due to being tired, […]

Bruichladdich 21 Cuvee 382 – La Berenice

Thanks to /u/theslicknick6 for the sample Trying to follow Bruichladdich releases has to be one of the hardest things whisky nerds can do. Not only do they have three different lines, they also have a variety of different and odd type releases. Why? Well they had a lot of whisky that needed rebarreling, and they had access […]

Jefferson’s Reserve Groth Cask Finish

Thanks to /u/theslicknick6 for the sample Jefferson’s Bourbon is a company that was founded in 1997 by Chet and Trey Zoeller, a father and son team. They were purchased by Castle Brands in 2005. They are now distilling their own rye whiskey. The company blends American and Canadian sourced whiskies. They try different things, for better or […]

The rye whiskeys range from 5 – 20 years old, and this whiskey is released yearly, with a new act coming out each year. The whiskey is aged in new, charred, white American oak and then finished in […]

Black Fox Single Barrel Wheat Whisky

I’d like to thank Black Fox Farm & Distillery for sending this bottles to the Toronto Whisky Society. Black Fox Farm & Distillery is a farm in Saskatchewan that, from what I’m seeing, originally specialized in flowers. My knowledge of flowers goes so far as to be able to identify their colour, if the mix is pleasing to […]

Wiser’s One Fifty

I’d like to thank Wiser’s for sending this bottles to the Toronto Whisky Society. Wiser’s One Fifty is a special bottling of Wiser’s. It was released for the 150th year of Canada being a country… ruled by European’s. Before that it goes for 10,000 some odd years, and even before that the fish had it. But it’s 150 years […]

Caldera Hurricane #5

I’d like to thank Caldera Distilling for sending this bottles to the Toronto Whisky Society. Caldera Distilling is located in the historical shipbuilding community of River John, Nova Scotia. For those of you who aren’t up on the happenings of fishing in that area, it’s gone down in recent years, due to overfishing. Also the demand for clippers […]

Highwood Distillers Ninety 5 & Ninety 20

I’d like to thank Highwood Distillers for sending these bottles to the Toronto Whisky Society. For some people, Highwood Distillers will sound familiar, as I’ve reviewed some of their whiskies before. And if you’ve noticed, I haven’t been singing their praises. However I don’t think that’s their point. Canadian whisky became popular because people, at one point, wanted […]

Last Mountain 100% Wheat Whisky Single Cask

I’d like to thank Last Mountain Distillery for sending these bottles to the Toronto Whisky Society. Last Mountain Distillery is Saskatchewan’s first micro distillery. Started in 2010 by Colin and Meredith Schmidt, they found no unique Saskatchewan spirits. At all. As Colin is a Regina boy (that’s not a sexual term, it’s a place in Saskatchewan, where such […]
