I have to admit that I have a bit of a soft spot for The Dalmore. Despite the liberal application of fake tan and the generally low abv, I tend to enjoy their expressions. One of my oldest and dearest…

I've got quite the backlog of samples, including mystery samples, but I've been negligent as of late. If only a friend would take the time to send me some text message reminders, I'd probably get to…

I'm a fan of all things Laphroaig. I don't think that's a secret. For my 200th Connosr review, I felt it appropriate to review this one. Laphroaig 10 is a perennial favourite. I find it to be simultan…

A non-chill-filtered, non-carbon filtered Jim Beam offering at 100 proof for $44 CAD? Count me in. I tend to like the Jim Beam profile (i.e. roasted peanuts and caramel popcorn) so I bought this one…
