Elijah Craig 12 Year Old

Soft and strong Elijah Craig 12 Year Old

At only 12 years, Elijah Craig is one of the older bourbons offered at the LCBO. The nose offers no surprises: sweet and soft with notes of cherry, woodsmoke, and vegetal bitterness. With water a slig…

Aberfeldy 12 Year Old

Beautifully balanced Aberfeldy 12 Year Old

As soon as I put my nose up to this bottle, I had a good feeling about it. This is definitely my style of whisky. The aroma makes me think of sawdust, peeled apples, and spearmint. It is full yet deli…

Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve 9 Year Old

Super-powered Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve 9 Year Old

Knob Creek was the first whiskey I really took a shine to, so I was excited at the prospect of a new version. This single-barrel expression is also aged 9 years and bottled at 120 proof. After adding…

Penderyn Madeira 41

Exceedingly light Penderyn Madeira 41

This is the new version of Penderyn. Been wanting to try this distillery for a while so I was glad to see it available at a lower price. Still madiera finished, non-chillfiltered and, judging by the…

Canadian Club Classic 12 Year Old

Rye-heavy Canadian Club Classic 12 Year Old

This whisky shows more obvious rye influence than I recall from previous bottles. On the nose it has that light spice, like cinnamon and cloves, but also an astringent mineral note, like wet stones. Not…

Crown Royal Black

Looks like Coke, tastes like... Crown Royal Black

I suppose the upstanding folks at Diageo expect us to attribute the dark colour of Crown Royal Black to the charred casks it is aged in. Notice they don't come right out and say it, but simply imply the…

Wemyss Spice King 8 year old

The blendy malt Wemyss Spice King 8 year old

I was less than impressed when I first got into this bottle of "hand-crafted" malt whisky. There was nothing particularly wrong with it; it just seemed a little thin, a little too much like a decent…

Arran Amarone Cask Finish

Pink whisky??? Arran Amarone Cask Finish

This whisky spends around 8 years in bourbon casks before being transferred for 9 months to Amarone wine casks. The smell directly from the bottle strongly suggests grapes. When you pour a glass you see…
