Such an iconic bottle, never seen it before here in Quebec, had to pick it up. Barrel 949, warehouse H, rick 45, dumped on 7-26-18. Sweet caramel and butterscotch on the nose. Very pleasant and well rounded. On the palate I get cinnamon, cloves, brown sugar and faint citrus notes. This is oily bourbon, it coats your mouth beautifully. The finish is spicy and lingering and medium long. Great addition to my bar75.0 CAD per BottleMontreal

Kilchoman PX Sherry Finish Single Cask
Single Malt — I slay, Scotland
Reviewed December 18, 2018 (edited December 19, 2018)Sample review. Very nice natural colour to start with. Peat on the nose with nice dark fruit notes. No alcohol burn at all. On the palate there's brine, a nutty flavour, peat and faint dark fruit notes. Delicious! the finish is medium long and consistent of a sweet peat smoke. Great expression from KilchomanMontreal -
Wolfburn Northland
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed December 18, 2018 (edited December 19, 2018)This malt has always intrigued me since I first saw the bottle, simply stunning presentation. Acquired a sample today. A floral nose with a faint hint of orchard fruits. Slightly sour on the palate, green apples and some spices. The finish is relatively short. Overal a decent dram, needs some extra aging though. Would still pick up a bottle if its reasonably priced. Reminds me of Arran and Tobermory.Montreal -
Glenlivet Nàdurra Oloroso (Travel Retail)
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed December 16, 2018 (edited April 22, 2019)Great value again, only 83 Canadian $ and delicious. I'm talking about the cask strenght version, I have the 48% travel retail exclusive as well but I keep that one for guests :p. Very fruity on the nose, a big hit of plums and apricots. It has also a dry and slightly salty quality to it. Very long finish of dark fruits again, my tong is a bit numb because of the ABV. Great dessert dram!83.0 CAD per BottleMontreal -
Laphroaig 10 Year Cask Strength (Batch 1)
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed December 16, 2018 (edited January 9, 2019)Batch 009, 58.1% ABV. This is your classic Laph 10 on steroids, fantastic dram and by far the best value out there (IMO!). Lovely see breeze when you nose the glass, very oily as well. Like smoked mackerel. On the palate you have that Laphroaig brine which I really love, very unique. The arrival is sweet with a very long and lingering peaty finish. The perfect winter dram. cheers all72.0 USD per BottleMontreal -
Highland Park 12 Year Viking Honour
Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed December 13, 2018 (edited September 21, 2019)Final dram from my bottle, really enjoyed it. This would be my first dram of the night on multiple occasions. After I could go for peat or sherry, just perfect. It's versatile and accessible but at the same time complex. Vanilla, orange, a hint of black licorice, light peat. This has been a great daily sipper, cheers all!70.0 CAD per BottleMontreal -
Lot No. 40 11 Year Cask Strength
Canadian — Ontario, Canada
Reviewed December 12, 2018 (edited December 21, 2018)Missed out on the Lot 40 year cask strength last, very happy I got my hands on a bottle this year. Bottle 3668 of 4020. Oak and spices on the nose, a big hit of black licorise on the palate followed by a long peppery and slightly bitter finish. It's very smooth for 58.4% ABV, no alcohol burn at all. Fantastic Canadian whisky, by far the best I've tried. Maybe I should pick up another bottle while I still have the chance! Cheers95.0 CAD per BottleMontreal -
Port Charlotte 10 Year
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed December 7, 2018 (edited March 11, 2019)This one checks all my boxes. 10 years old, 50% ABV, non chillfiltered and no added colour. This is how you present a whisky! By far the most oily Scotch I've had, sticking to the glass like paint. On the nose I get peat, not medicinal but more mineral, and a whiff of the ocean. The palate has some black pepper, sea salt, sweet caramelized bacon and smoke. I get salty licorice on the finish and again the peppery note, it's medium long. Overall this is a great addition to the Bruichladdich core range, the bottle and packaging are on point as for all of their products. Cheers all!!99.0 CAD per BottleMontreal
