The first time I tried this whisky was some years ago at a Glenmorangie/Ardbeg dinner and tasting. That particular version of Quinta Ruban was a 12 year old offering whereas this newer version is 14…

Eagle Rare 10 year is now a single barrel offering; I think that's a recent thing but I could be wrong. It's also a bourbon that causes mass panic and FOMO-inspired rage among Ontario bourbon customers…

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…

Bowmore seems to be the overlooked middle child of Islay. A lot of people hate them, seemingly for no reason. I get that most of their core expressions are bottled at a low abv. While that’s disappoin…
