Three XO Blends (Toronto Whisky Society, Maltbarn, Kensington Wine Market)

I’ve told this story many times, but we’re getting to the end of this particular blip of whiskies, so one more time: Many years ago someone was at a warehouse, trying whisky. They noticed some old barrels, tasted them, realized they were old Macallan, Glenrothes, Mortlach, and Tamdhu, all of which were no longer wanted […]

Tobermory 21 1995 The Whisky Agency

This year has been interesting and a time of new “firsts” for me. No, I didn’t get drilled in the ass, however thanks for asking. One of the actual things I accomplished is I was part of a group that released their own bottling. And for that, I’m quite proud, even if I played a […]

InBev Distilleries Tasting Event

I’d like to personally thank InBev for sending their Brand Ambassador from Old Pulteney (and Balblair, Speyburn, Balmenach, and anCnoc) to the Toronto Whisky Society. I’d also like to thank /u/Jolarbear for doing a great write up on the site on these, which you can find here. For those of you who don’t want to have to jump […]

BenRiach 10

Jim Beam Bonded

George Dickel Superior No. 12

Centennial Canadian Rye Whisky Dark Chocolate

This was tasted as part of the Toronto Whisky Society. We were given this bottle from Highwood Distillers for the purpose of reviewing it. We take our reviews seriously, and do not give higher marks because something is free. I appreciate the donation from Highwood. Assuming no one reads that, feel free to call me […]

White Owl Caramel

Buffalo Distilling Company — Toronto Whisky Society

This year for my birthday I did something different. Instead of heading to a bar and drinking quite a bit, we headed down south to New York (just blew your mind if you live in the US) and drank quite a bit at craft distilleries. Now Craft Distilleries are in a bit of an odd […] […]

Lot 40 Cask Strength

As part of the Toronto Whisky Society, our great contributor /u/devoz took time out of his very important schedule and visited the Wiser’s distillery. And as part of that, he requested a sample of Lot 40 Cask Strength, a version of the famous Lot 40 from Corby that has not been released yet. In return, each […]
