Thanks to /u/the_muskox for sharing this dram. I continue along with my series of Glenfiddich reviews that I’m doing to make up room, as it’s been too long to do these, and I have a few of them. As the whisky I had before this one was Peated, I needed to pick out a similarly peated whisky. […]
Read More Glenfiddich Fire & CaneI’ve been writing a bit lately about moving on from old distilleries. Which is tough. No one wants to stop buying a specific distillery’s offerings due to price increases, changes in how it’s being made, or even situations where it becomes so popular that you have to camp out to purchase it. Which usually means […]
Read More An Ample Amount of AmrutsThanks to /u/ScotchGuy_TO for pouring me a dram. Rum Casks. Or as I call them, a trap. Look, you can argue however you like: Rum casks are variable, I’ve had few of them where the rum matured or rum finished just… completely shat the bed. To use the technical term. Enter Hazelburn 14 Rum Single Cask. Yes, that’s […]
Read More Hazelburn 14 Rum Single CaskCampbeltown whiskies are still kinda a mystery. I mean, I’ve reviewed a bunch. Some would even say quite a bit more than a bunch. When I first got into Scotch, I was on a tour and was given one whisky from each region, with the exception of Campbeltown. At the time they either didn’t have […]
Read More Glen Scotia 21 / Glen Scotia Rum Cask Finish Campbeltown Festival 2019Springbank. The name conjures up quality, because they haven’t skimped on their processes, and high prices, because we all know the whisky is good, and therefore buy it. I have a hard time speaking about Springbank for this reason. I love Springbank. My first review was the standard 10, and while I feel I was […]
Read More A bevy of Springbank ReviewsI was able to try each of these through the Toronto Whisky Society, which was given the chance to try them by Wiser’s themselves. Special commemorative editions of things, especially mashups of two different fandoms, are always something to question before buying: Why are you buying it? For the Wiser’s Alumni Whisky Series, you could tell […]
Read More J.P. Wiser’s NHL Alumni Whisky SeriesI complained a while ago that I wasn’t reviewing that many Ardbegs. Oh, and then I started reviewing Ardbegs because I’m a two-faced idiot who can’t see into the future or notice the stuff his whisky friends are buying. But this time I bought the samples. I had friends who were wondering about Ardbeg Drum Committee […]
Read More Ardbeg Drum Committee ReleaseThanks to /u/devoz for pouring me a sample of this. It’s weird being a reviewer. You end up going with what you can get, as I’m not charismatic enough to sell out my morals and make this something where I can get free things from what I like. Enter Amrut Single Cask ex-Jaggery Rum Cask, a single cask […]
Read More Amrut Single Cask ex-Jaggery Rum CaskThis past year (2018) I had lots and lots of plans. Finish my accounting schooling, find a new job in a new career space, figure out if the worms have gotten to my brains yet, and review enough Irish Whiskey to finally hit 100 total reviews. I’m happy to say I got most of that […]
Read More Hyde 6 No. 4 President’s Choice Rum Cask FinishThanks to /u/throwboats for pouring me a sample of this dram. Back again with another Rum Cask. For those of you who don’t follow me like I’m made of candy and orgasms, I specifically hunt down rum casks. Part of me thinks that rum casks may have had a bad rap. Why? Well, let’s point out that […]
