Multiple Campbeltown Whiskies

I was interested in Scotch when I first went to Scotland. And kudos to the Scotch Whisky Experience. I went through it, they gave me the basics as a base for me to get wrong and be corrected and grow. For instance, they poured one from almost every Scotch region. Yes, almost. They talked about […]

Perth Canadian Whisky

Thanks to /u/devoz, who pointed out this whisky and said I had to try it. Top Shelf Distillers is a small distillery. They currently are making moonshine, gin, vodka, Perth Canadian Whisky, and hand sanitizer (if you’re reading this after the pandemic is over, wash your hands, hug your friends and family, and appreciate the little things in […]

Lot 40 Cask Strength Third Edition & Pike Creek 21 Oloroso Finish

Each year we receive the Canadian equivalent of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, called the Northern Border collection from J.P. Wiser’s. Sadly this year I couldn’t go to the tasting that typically happens to try them. Luckily, as part of a tasting, there were two of the whiskies hanging out as open whiskies ready to […]

Johnnie Walker Red (1970s)

Thanks to /u/ScotchGuyTo for sharing this dram. Whisky pops up in history here and there. Let me be clear: History is filled with more important things than distilled beer that ensures we get giggly while tasting different interesting flavours. However, what is interesting, when looking at important figures who had major impacts, they drank heavily. It’s no […]

3 Ardmore Reviews

My proclivities to specific distilleries are at odds with one of my whisky reviewing morals. There’s never going to be a distillery that I’ll turn down reviewing because there’s always going to be at least one whisky from them I’ll like. That said, I do get into times when I want a specific whisky. And […]

Alberta Premium Cask Strength

Thanks to /u/devoz for sharing this dram with me. Alberta is currently a hot topic in Canada. There’s some history there which I won’t be getting into. I won’t be opening that particular can of worms here. That said, it is the origin and part of the name of the whisky I’ll be reviewing today, Alberta Premium Cask […]

Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte, & Octomore: 10 Reviews

It’ s no lie that I find something endearing about Bruichladdich, and I don’t think I’m alone in that. The company is such an underdog. It had issues, the casks were bad, and someone came along and through connections and money and a lot of gumption and probably more so money they re-racked the every-loving-hell […]

Three Linkwood Reviews

The first time I had Linkwood it was chosen for me blind because my equally perverted partner thought it was funny to laugh about a certain Nintendo character getting a boner. Yeah, I lucked out on meeting someone amazing. Try not to be jealous. Since then I’ve had a few more, though it’s not the […]

Three Lagavulin Reviews

I’ve never been to Islay. There was some discussion of going this year, with friends, kinda stalled a bit, then was pushed off to another year, and then even the replacement plans have gotten a bit rough. I hope that someday when life has changed again, I can visit Isly for Feis Ile. Or around […]

Glen Elgin 20 1995 Adelphi Cask 3220

I haven’t given up on Glen Elgin yet. Really I’ve given up on very few scotch distilleries, but we can wait until I get to those ones to list them. Back to the distillery at hand: You don’t hear much about Glen Elgin. They pop up in IBs here and there, otherwise, it’s not a […]
