Macallan Amber 1824 Series
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed April 12, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)Light caramel, fruit and sweetness and spice. Fairly smooth and well balanced. It's good but Highland Park 12 is similar, and better priced. $100 in Ontario.100.0 CAD per Bottle -
Glenfiddich 15 Year Solera Reserve
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed April 12, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)Oak, malt, and acidic floral spice concealing a background of rich dark fruit sweetness. A step up from the 12 year, with a richer profile and slightly more depth. The acidity holds it back for me but it’s considerably better than Glenlivet’s 15 Year. $80 in Ontario.80.0 CAD per Bottle -
Patrón Silver Tequila
Tequila Blanco — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed April 12, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)Stephanie's Distiller notes are excellent. It's very smooth, light agave/lime rind/citrus and tiny hint of pepper. It's slightly chalky and finishes dry. It's got good bones but it could use the agave/flavour in general amped up. I like it cause it's not overly sweet. If it was priced here like it is in the states it would be a lot more attractive. $80 in Ontario. (~ $30 USD)80.0 CAD per Bottle -
Appleton Estate Signature Blend Rum
Gold Rum — Jamaica
Reviewed April 12, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)Dry spicy oak with molasses/brown sugar/caramel, grape/cherry notes and subtle hints of smoke. Great underlying taste but dry overall. Not bad to sip but it’s star role is making a killer rum and coke. $28 in Ontario.28.0 CAD per Bottle -
This review is for the original XR red. Very smooth, sweet rye with gentle spice, light vanilla sweetness. Production ended a while back. I believe I paid around $170 for it in a duty free store about 12 years ago. I grew up in the Waterloo area and this was the first good quality bottle of booze I bought solely because it had some of the Seagrams Waterloo Crown in it. My opinion on it has varied over the years but having just finished the last glass I feel like, if it was still available, I’d purchase it again. It was great Canadian Whisky with a story to tell.170.0 CAD per Bottle
