I came across this bottle purely by chance. It’s never, to my knowledge, been listed on the LCBO’s website or app. I was at the Bayfield Street LCBO getting a bottle of gin when I spotted the Edradour…

We visited Oban this past summer and found it quite charming. The distillery tour was a lot more fun than what I expected from Oban’s parent company Glen Mordor er, I mean Diageo. I can’t believe I’ve…

I haven’t written a review in awhile, so here’s the first of a few recent bottle kills. This batch was barreled in May 2014, and was aged in warehouse CL-P for 7 years and 2 months. **Tasting Notes***…
