Thank you to /u/Devoz for the samples of this one, and thank you to the Toronto Whisky Society for including this in the tasting (so that I may enjoy it). Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery is Western Canada’s oldest craft distillery. Wait a second. Before you get all excited, remember we’re talking about Canada. You know, the place that brought […]
Read More Laird of Finitry Lot 4I’d like to thank Shelter Point for sending these bottles to the Toronto Whisky Society. Shelter Point Distiller is located on Vancouver Island. They pride themselves on being an artisanal distillery, and push for the idea of quality over quantity. They source locally, being one of only a handful of distilleries that grow their own barley and distill […]
Read More Shelter Point Artisanal Single Malt & Shelter Point Cask StrengthI’d like to thank Maison Sivó for sending these bottles to the Toronto Whisky Society. Merci Beacoup. Originally the Sivó family started in Hungary making fruit brandies. They were well received by many people in Hungary. Jump ahead to today, and we’re in Quebec, which is like Hungary except French is a lot easier to learn and the […]
Read More Sivó L’essence du rye & L’essence du Single MaltI’d like to thank Dixon’s Distilled Spirits for sending a bottle of this to the Toronto Whisky Society. Dixon’s is Guelph’s first craft distillery. Started by Jeremie and Vicky Dixon, each of them have formal training in white spirits from Chicago, and Jeremie studied brown spirit making down in Louisville. They also have one of the youngest distillers […]
Read More Dixon’s Batch 3 Lightly Aged RyeI’d like to thank Park Distillery, Restaurant + Bar for sending a bottle of this to the Toronto Whisky Society. But who is Park Distillery? For that we have to start where Park Distillery is. You see, Park Distillery is located in the most photographic thing before Justin Trudeau was elected: Banff, Alberta. If you’ve never seen pictures, […]
Read More Park Distillery Glacier RyeThank you to Brown-Forman who recently had a tasting event for some Toronto whiskey fans. We all had a great time, and you can read all about it here. Great write up /u/muaddib99 None the less, I’ve gone through quite a few Woodford Reserves, so most of the whiskies were me going back over all the offerings […]
Read More Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Brandy Cask FinishRecently Highland Park released two offerings. I was sad to see the whole Valhalla vibe not used for these, however for those of you who love the giant wooden boxes. I have decided to hold out mine to use for my ashes when I die. Be funny for people who try to steal my widow’s […]
Read More Highland Park 15 Fire & 17 IceThanks to /u/devoz for this sample. As many of you have seen, there’s some holes in my posts. And by holes, I mean that I’ve done over 1117 reviews and some distilleries have slipped through. I mean, I’m actually human, contrary to some of the popsicle stick body part rumours that are out there. One of the […]
Read More Glenburgie Archives 1995I’d like to personally thank InBev for sending their Brand Ambassador from Old Pulteney (and Balblair, Speyburn, Balmenach, and anCnoc) to the Toronto Whisky Society. I’d also like to thank /u/Jolarbear for doing a great write up on the site on these, which you can find here. For those of you who don’t want to have to jump […]

Recently (as in a month ago) I visited Dublin during their summer, which lasted for 6 days. Your welcome Ireland, I brought the sun. I control the weather, like a pudgier, more dick centric, and a lot more pale version of Storm. Before I get into anything else: All…
