Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Tennessee Whiskey
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed May 4, 2019 (edited October 17, 2021)Rick number L-1, barrel 18-9890, bottled on 10/24/18, 67.95 % ABV! The colour is impressive, very dark with almost some sort of a red glow to it. I get glue!?! on the nose, might be the smell of my burning nosehairs though, highest ABV I've tried so far! There's also definitely some maple syrup hidden behind the alcohol. The palate is massive. Brown sugars, lots of it, and cherries, dark and almost overipe ones. The ABV numbes my tongue a bit. After adding some drops of water the maple syrup shows up on the palate and finish followed by some bitter dark chocolate. This is some intense whisky, love it!

My brother gifted me this bottle, he picked it up in Holland were the price is much better (60€ vs 155 CAD$). I told him I would open it when my daughter was born, which happened today! On the nose I get dried fruits and tar, it's rich and sweet. The palate is great, sherry sweetness and brine. On the finish the classic Ardbeg peat shows up perfectly in harmony with red fruits, sea salt and again tar. A perfect whisky for a special moment, cheers all!60.0 EUR per BottleMontreal

Macdonald's Glencoe
Blended Malt — Highland, Scotland
Reviewed March 22, 2019 (edited December 6, 2019)I love the 8 year age statement on this bottle, a really great young whisky this is. It's a blended malt mainly consisting of Ben Nevis. It's blended with one other Highland single malt. Rich sherry notes on the nose, Plums, abricots, overripe dark red fruits. As soon as you take a sip this whisky takes over. More sweet and sugary fruits, almost like strawberry jam. No heat for 58% ABV. The finish is long and chewy. Really fantastic stuff! Cheers all85.0 CAD per BottleMontreal -
GlenAllachie 12 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed March 11, 2019 (edited September 24, 2023)After reading some great reviews I was excited when this bottle became available here in Quebec. All the boxes checked, it's a great one indeed! Fruity and nutty aroma's on the nose, a little sour note as well. Also some spice on the background most likely from the virgin oak casks. On the palate just great balanced sherry flavours, dried figs, grapes, apricots, a faint little salt and some bitter chocolat. Very well done. The finish lingers on for medium length. On par with Glendronach 12! Cheers all88.0 CAD per BottleMontreal -
Craigellachie 13 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed February 14, 2019 (edited September 24, 2023)First pour from my bottle, hard to get a lot on the nose, I think I'm getting a cold pff. The palate is very fruity up front, mainly apples or even apple sauce. On the finish I get nice spices, cinnamon and clove, followed by some bitterness and a pinch of salt. The finish is not overly long. I will get back to this one in a couple of weeks to provide a cold-free review. Cheers all80.0 CAD per BottleMontreal -
Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Rye
Rye — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed February 10, 2019 (edited September 24, 2023)Beautifull classy bottle, looks great and I might keep it after it's empty to use as an infinity bottle! Very oily, long legs in the glass. Citrus, oak, vanilla and rye spice on the nose. It has a spicy palate, lots of cinnamon and black pepper. The finish is long, spicy, bitter, some salted caramel shows up. Wow, great single barrel rye from JD. If you would have me taste this blind I would never guess its from them. Definitely recommend this to rye lovers!60.0 CAD per BottleMontreal -
