Glenkinchie 12 Year
Single Malt — Lowlands, Scotland
Reviewed August 26, 2016 (edited August 18, 2018)Light and fairly smooth, with tree fruit sweetness and soft smoke. Quite good, but I've had just as good or better for cheaper. $90 in Ontario.90.0 CAD per BottleRose & Crown Dining Room -
Yellow Spot 12 Year Single Pot Still
Single Pot Still — Ireland
Reviewed August 24, 2016 (edited August 18, 2018)Extremely smooth, same flavour profile as Jameson with a little more richness and much better balance. Very good but expensive. $100 in Ontario, when it's available.100.0 CAD per BottleRaglan Road Irish Pub -
Green Spot Single Pot Still
Single Pot Still — Ireland
Reviewed August 24, 2016 (edited March 9, 2020)Definitely more smooth than Jameson, with same flavour profile. Great but not worth the $50 price hike. $85 in Ontario. Similar quality to Redbreast 12 Yr. If you're going to spend this much on an Irish Whiskey then spend the extra $15 and get Yellow Spot.85.0 CAD per BottleRaglan Road Irish Pub -
Aberlour 12 Year Double Cask Matured
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed August 19, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)Fairly smooth with tobacco smoke and deep dark grape/stone fruit and heather honey sweetness. Great flavour but it's definitely less smooth than I would want. Basically a darker, more robust Aberfeldy. $65 in Ontario.65.0 CAD per Bottle -
J.P. Wiser's Legacy Canadian Whisky
Canadian — Ontario, Canada
Reviewed August 19, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)Sweet and spicy. Well balanced with caramel, oak, floral, and rye spice notes. Exactly the same profile as Gibson's Finest 12 Year but all around more robust. It can be slightly spicy to sip neat but it has excellent flavour. It’s been discontinued so make sure to grab a bottle while you can. $50 in Ontario.50.0 CAD per Bottle -
Herradura Reposado Tequila
Tequila Reposado — Tequila Valley, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed August 12, 2016 (edited January 19, 2020)Spicey and a little ruff up front but it's followed by bright pear/peach and agave, oak, and a lingering hint of pepper/spice. It's rough around the edges but it's bright fruity sweetness is delicious. Not as smooth but I prefer the taste profile to Don Julio’s Reposado. $70 in Ontario.70.0 CAD per Bottle -
Mezcal Jaral de Berrio
Mezcal Joven — Guanajuato , Mexico
Reviewed August 12, 2016 (edited September 16, 2020)Smooth, subtle yet rich. Earthy agave and a hint of fruity sweetness. This is what most blanco tequilas wish they were. My first mezcal. Very promising. Unfortunately one of only a few available here. $42 in Ontario.42.0 CAD per Bottle -
Cazadores Reposado Tequila
Tequila Reposado — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed August 5, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)Smooth but dusty/earthy/oily with over sweet sugary agave and light oak. $37 in Ontario.37.0 CAD per Bottle -
Casamigos Blanco Tequila
Tequila Blanco — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed August 2, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)Almost a powdered sugar and candied vanilla sweetness. There is slight pepper but it's almost more of a spice burn. It tastes just a little bit like white rye. Good underlying agave flavour but way too sweet and not as smooth as I'd like. $60 in Ontario.60.0 CAD per Bottle
