Rozelieures Single Malt Peated Collection

Thanks to a close friend, Martha, for pouring me this sample. So I was at a tasting, in the before times, back when we all met up for such things. And where we will meet up again. It was the year where we did world whiskies, and one of the tasters brought Rozelieures Single Malt Peated […]

Bastille Single Malt

So I’m at a bar. I know, surprised as usual. But I’m in Canada and there’s actually a selection of whiskies. Even ones I haven’t had. Which almost never happens. However I’m DD, and I take that seriously so I can have one before my lunch, and that’s all. Yes, I’m big enough I could […]

Armorik Maître de Chai 2008 & Armorik 13 2002 (cask 3260)

During the Norman invasion of England, there was a cultural sharing that persists to today. And also a lot of war, killing, and generally horrible things. Let’s keep this positive though. Due to the help of various Brittany lords with William the Conquerer’s invasion, they were given large tracts of lands in England. Thus part […]

Eddu Grey Rock & Eddu Silver Brocéliande

Back in 1921, in Plomelin, France, there was a second-hand pot still mean for the odd making of cider brandy, locally known as lambig. Thus a distillery starts, not with a big rumble, but with a tiny burble and the want for some brandy every so often. The family kept up the tradition, with the […]

Crown Royal Hand Selected Barrel/ Michel Couvreur Intravagan’za Single Malt Whiskey / Sortilege Prestige

The following three reviews seem a little odd to have paired together. They were done as a yearly mystery swap that is done over at Reddit. I received these from /u/devoz . He stated “It was tough finding things you’ve never reviewed, but I found them!” Dear Fucking God I hope he didn’t just piss […]

Bastille 1789

So yes… this has some question marks on it, and was supposed to be a mystery sample from /u/Devoz. However he told me what it was when he thought I had already reviewed it for a whisky tasting I ran. When I told him I hadn’t, he told me it was Bastille 1789, a French […]

Kornog Taouarc’h Seizved 14 BC

Having trouble with the name? Trust me, so am I, and I’m bilingual. When we hear French and Whisky, most of us don’t rush out to try it. We typically think of Scotland. Or Ireland. Or the US. Or Canada, if we’re being generous. Or India, Australia, or Japan, if we’re whisky nerds. But not […]

Eddu Silver & Gold [Review, Not a Rudolph Song]

Special thanks to /u/wrathfulhaggis for answering my request to try these rare malts. But you may be asking yourself… why would I want to try a rare, not really well known whisky from France (Brittany)? I mean, France (Brittany) isn’t known for whisky, right? And why do I keep saying France (Brittany)? Okay, so first off, […]

Armorik Breton Classic Single Malt

So when you think whiskey, you usually jump first to Scotland, then to the US, Canada, Ireland, and if you’ve gotten into it, Japan, India, and Australia. However I am excited at the idea of other countries making whisky for themselves. It’s the possibility of different flavours, terroir, and techniques to try new things. I […]
