Teeling 12 Collinstown Collection

Let’s be honest: When someone talks about Irish whiskey, they typically speak of a lower end, everyday drink that is smooth though typically doesn’t break the mould. That’s mostly because the industry has taken a hit over the last century. English trade embargos, the Coffey still, American prohibition, and even Canadian’s calling uncut, poisonous whisky […]

Adelphi Glenborrodale 8 Batch #3

One of the things that come up when people talk to me about whisky is blends. Now I’ve gone on, and on, and potentially on, about it each time I’ve reviewed one. The quick version? All blends aren’t bad, it’s just that there’s more and more grain whisky being dumped in there and that takes […]

Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10 (3rd Edition)

Thanks to /u/the_muskox for this sample. Wow, it’s been a while. I got a bit behind. A while back someone asked me about the difference in the batches/editions of Port Charlotte 10. I had previously stated the reason it was released due to how good PC10 was. Confused yet? Welcome to drinking Bruichladdich. There’s the PC series, […]

Tomatin 12 / 14 Port Wood / Cù Bòcan 1988 Vintage / 36

Recently I was privileged enough to join a tasting put on by Tomatin, through the Toronto Whisky Society. Tomatin is an interesting distillery for me. I am not the biggest Highland fan, however, years ago I decided to dive deep on them due to (no joke) a request for more reviews from distilleries that start […]

Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel – Gates Circle Store Pick

Thanks to /u/blaw84 for this sample. I think. 90% of Canadians live within a small portion of the Canadian border. As such many Canadians who travel across the border on a regular basis find some stores near the largest undefended border. These stores, knowing that my country hates alcohol and needs to be big brother about it, […]

Crown Royal Apple / Crown Royal XO

Crown Royal Apple Thanks to my buddy for letting me have some of this. And by letting, I mean he’s welcome that I drank some of it. Crown Royal is finding ways to bring out whisky to the masses. And what do the masses like to do? Binge drink, dance, and do shots. Am I […]
