Gibson's Finest 12 Year Old

Like A Glass Of Water Gibson's Finest 12 Year Old

Could very well be the worst whisky I've had. Looks fine with good legs and a light golden colour - but the aroma has no complexity beyond toffee (and, I think, corn - unfortunately). Slight honey taste…

Canadian Club Classic 12 Year Old

Much Better Than The CC Canadian Club Classic 12 Year Old

Am not a huge fan of the regular CC - but I do like this one. A deep amber colour, medium bodied, with aromas of honey, toffee, oak and a little bit of pineapple, which was very nice. Taste is also oaky…

Té Bheag Nan Eilean

A Wee Dram Té Bheag Nan Eilean

"A Wee Dram" is apparently the English translation of the Gaelic name - colour is light-to-medium amber. Very grainy nose, with cereal, yeast, straw and citrus. Taste of malt and honey, with some lard…

Crown Royal

Standard Canadian Crown Royal

Hiding somewhere behind my girlfriend's wine collection, I found a small, dusty bottle of Crown Royal. Intended as a gift for her brother (but forgotten), I cracked it open, never having had it before…

Bushmills Black Bush

Lovely Irish Bushmills Black Bush

A fantastic Irish whisky, very smooth and easy to drink. An amber, medium bodied feel, with an oaky nose of popcorn and licorice, a sherry-hinted taste of honey and straw overtones. Lemon comes out with…

Seagram's VO

Basic. Standard. Nothing Special. Seagram's VO

You can't get a more basic standard Canadian whisky. A light amber colour, medium bodied, with a buttery aroma of fruit. A light rye taste, with a buttery, spicy mouthfeel. A little too sweet for my…

Jack Daniel's Gentleman Jack

A Smoother Jack...But Why? Jack Daniel's Gentleman Jack

If you like Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 but it a bit harsh, this one's for you. A good bodied, light amber smoother whisky, with aromas of sulphur, pine, honey and caramelized pear. Tastes much like the No…

Laphroaig 10 Year Old

My New Favourite Whisky Laphroaig 10 Year Old

Spectacular, like nothing else I've ever tasted. This whisky somehow transports me geographically to another time and place, and the discriptors that come to mind are very geographic. Aromas of seaweed…

Jack Daniel's Original (No.7)

Back To The Jack Jack Daniel's Original (No.7)

I told myself I wouldn't bother writing about whiskies I've had a million times, but there's not denying Jack. Anyone can drink and enjoy this. Starts off in the glass somewhat oily (with good legs), and…
