High West Midwinter Night’s Dram – Acts 2.1 & 3.2

Thanks to /u/devoz and /u/stinkysauce for these samples. Hey… about to hit 750 total reviews. That’s 3/4 of 1000, and like… a lot. I should do something special. Not like “short bus special”, because that movie was awesome and you should watch it. Just not with your parents. There’s a lot of sex in it. No, rather […]

High West Rendezvous Rye

Thanks to /u/I_SAID_NO_GOLDFISH for the sample Screw it. Let’s go on a kick. No, not a Rye kick, though given the last whiskey I reviewed was also High West, and was also mostly rye, who would blame you for thinking that? Pol Pot, that’s who. No, instead I’m going for a few whiskies from High West. […]

High West Bourye (2014)

Thanks to /u/cnbrown313 for this sample. I’ve been told I had to try High West Bourye. So I did. There, intro done. Nice job /u/TOModera . Seriously though, when I last have reviewed the lonely distiller in the middle of Hell Utah, I’ve had quite a few people tell me I had to get my hands […]

Springbank 16 Local Barley

Thanks to /u/devoz for the sample. I enjoy Springbank. Normally I wouldn’t have to say that, but with Summer and vacation and my personal life being quite busy, not to mention two bad allergic reactions, I’ve been off whisky for a bit. So I feel I should restate a bias I have. I enjoy Spingbank quite […]

Sortilège

Kinda did this backwards. Started with the high end version, then bought a mini of the standard offering. Granted I’m doing the same with this review, so why change now? This is, technically, not a whisky. It’s a whisky based spirit drink that has dropped below the mandatory 40% to still be a whisky. But […]

Crown Royal Monarch 75 Anniversary Blend

I’m getting to that “drank too much at the bar” stage while on vacation. See, I’ve done 3 others reviews at the Underbelly. And while I could probably do a 5th, I’d like to sleep well and it wouldn’t be that great. Not to mention we all finished our food and fatty wants to sleep […]

West Cork Original & West Cork 10 Single Malt

So in case you missed the first post, I’m still in Newfoundland. Well, not really. I’m back and writing reviews in Ontario, but I was in Newfoundland at the time of writing this. And I’m still at the Underbelly. And I’m still enjoying all the whiskey I can afford. So I’ve reviewed most, if not […]

Bib & Tucker 6 Small Batch

So I’m in Newfoundland for vacation. And I’m drinking Ouzo, Rum, cocktails, and everything else I can have. However the whisky selection isn’t great. And I don’t blame them: It’s an Island, and Canada has Byzantine laws concerning the Devil’s happy water. But then, in the deep parts of the city (well… a basement), I […]

Schenley Golden Wedding

Recently went on vacation. It wasn’t to somewhere outside of Canada, thus there haven’t been any posts from me for awhile. That said, I’m still a whisky drinker at heart, and even in the Savage Jelly Bean wilds of Newfoundland (see: St. John’s), I found some whiskies I have never reviewed before. Or rather my […]
