Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire

So 2021 sucked. Sure, you may have had better things happen. I somewhat did? I kept going on, and am going to, however on December 31, 2021 I wouldn’t say anyone in my household, save for the cat, were particularly positive. I attempted to have some drinks, but the energy just wasn’t there. A stout […]

Barrell Batch 005/006/007b/009

Thanks to walking_spanish and georgejessel for these samples. Me, 3 years ago Man, this Barrell company is really taking off. Perhaps I can find some samples and do a proper vertical Me, 5 weeks ago Why do I have four samples of Barrell? Yeah that was my thoughts. I met some people who shared some, but didn’t find any beyond the […]

George Dickel Barrel Select for Astor Wine & Spirits

Thanks to georgejessel for sharing this dram. I’m less experienced with Tennessee whiskey than I should be. As someone who’s bourbon drinking family and friends prefer Kentucky based distilleries that’s where the majority of my American Whiskey comes from. I think, therefore, I’ve been missing some of the options. That said it could also be because there’s […]

Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey

Why do I do this? Why is it that every whiskey, and I mean every whiskey (you’re reading about a review of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey, I don’t need to hammer this point) I drink requires a review? At this point I’ve accepted the fact that I drink to review, and not review to drink. It’s […]

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Strength – 17-5593

Thanks to /u/devoz[+9] for pouring me a sample of this. “Hey guys, I bought a bottle of Jack Daniel’s” It’s one of those moments we all dread. He’s gotten the crazy. We have to take him outside, and shoot him. I joke of course. We’d bring him to doctors to properly put down. Or keep making fun […]

Cumberland Cask Ruby Cut

Thanks to /u/orehnmadgib for the sample. I am tremendously bad at guessing mystery samples. However I ended up with a bunch after some swap, so it’s time to crack them open in a series I’m calling “I’m really bad at mysteries”. It’s tough to buck trends. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of the […]

Very Fine Old Tennessee Bourbon 13 2003 The Whisky Agency

I was privileged enough to go to the Toronto Whisky Society’s recent tasting, in which we were able to serve five different high end malts, all of which are available at the Kensington Wine Market, where a member was able to pick it up and bring it back to us. American whiskey has it’s own flavours, it’s […]

Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof [Mystery Review]

Thank you to /u/walking_spanish [+3] for this mystery dram. Mysteries are fun. They make you take a moment and really review something without per-conceived notions. Also walking_spanish did an amazing job of hiding the final thoughts on this one. Seriously, if you send out a mystery, learn from him. A folded piece of paper with the reveal? Super […]

George Dickel Superior No. 12

Recently I was lucky enough to join the Toronto Whisky Society in the first of what we hope is a constant amount of tastings. In order to give everyone a shot at coming out, the entry “fee” was to bring a bottle that was NAS/10 years that was at least half full. The following reviews […]

Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 [Feather’s Flight Review Set #13 / Re-Review]

This is the last of my The Feather’s Pub birthday dram reviews. Typically these are all on /r/scotch, since it’s a Scotch bar, and I’m more of a Scotch fan. However something happened while there that I need to share, so let me set the stage: I go out for my birthday. I attempt about 4-5 […]
