Glenlivet Nàdurra Peated Whisky Cask Finish
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed December 2, 2018 (edited September 10, 2020)Wow this is good! Perfect dram for a cold, rainy and windy day like it was over here today in Montreal. Very oily Scotch coating my glencairn. On the nose I don't get a lot, some honey and alcohol. This one shines on the palate and finish. Honey, tart green apples and sea salt on the palate. The peat influence shows up on the finish, it's very subtle and lingering for quite some time together with some salt. Very glad I picked this one up today, I will get the first fill Nadurra as well sooner or later. Cheers all!94.0 CAD per BottleMontreal -
Bunnahabhain 12 Year
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed November 25, 2018 (edited June 13, 2019)whoever gave this a 84 rating here on Distiller needs to do a re-review fast! This is easy a 90 or even more. 46.3 %ABV, non chillfiltered, no added colour, an age statement, great taste. It's a sherried Islay Scotch, full bodied, dark fruits, salted caramel, a nice lingering finish. 4.5 stars no doubt!85.0 CAD per BottleMontreal -
Kilchoman Machir Bay (2014 Edition)
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed November 25, 2018 (edited November 26, 2018)My first encounter with Kilchoman distillery has been a great one! I have the 2018 bottling though.Love the whole craft presentation of the whisky itself and the box this malt came in is a stunner as well. The nose is lovely Islay peat but slightly different from the rest. It has a pretty sweet arrival with a little brine which I love. Honey and a pinch of sea salt. The sherry influence is minimal but I suspect this will increase over time like it did for me with Kilkerran 12 and Springbank 10. A medium peaty finish to round it all off. Classy and tasty, cheers all!92.0 CAD per BottleMontreal -
Stagg Jr Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch 1
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 25, 2018 (edited November 26, 2018)Fantastic stuff, this dram is getting better and better everytime I take a glass from my bottle. Very sweet on the palate with baking spices and salted caramel. The finish is the highlight in my opinion, it just keeps on going. Cheers all!85.0 CAD per BottleMontreal -
I'm a real Arran fanboy, love their whisky, the fact they don't add colour to or chillfilter their whisky and they botlle at 46% or higher. I always wondered why this 10 year has such a mediocre rating here, it's fantastic value in my opinion. By adding some water this dram get's a beautiful sweet barley sugar note. I can't talk this one up enough, cheers!58.0 CAD per BottleMontreal

Kilkerran 12 Year
Single Malt — Campbeltown, Scotland
Reviewed November 15, 2018 (edited June 13, 2019)I'm already loving this bottle and I'm only 3 drams in. It has a clean nose, some sea air and citrus. Sea salt, lemon, honey and light peat on the palate. The finish is spectacular though, very complex. First you get the peat followed by dark fruits. I get the sherry cask influence on the finish, not overpowering but just perfectly well balanced. Fabulous stuff from Campbelltown, cheers!85.0 CAD per BottleMontreal -
Highland Park 12 Year Viking Honour
Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed November 11, 2018 (edited September 21, 2019)This is a sherried dram with an extra dimension. Glad to have the 43% ABV version here in Canada. Mostly sherry notes with faint notes of peat and salt in the background. The nose and palate are dominated by dried fruits, the finish has notes of licorice and brine. A real crowd pleaser this is and not for no reason, great stuff!70.0 CAD per BottleMontreal -
Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition
Blended — Scotland
Reviewed November 10, 2018 (edited March 15, 2019)Wow, this is very tasty, packs a lot of flavours. Decided to pick this one up after some good reviews here on Distiller and I'm very glad I did! This is a steal for only 35 CAD$. Nice toffee, pears and black licorice on the palate, I also get the black pepper note that they discribe on the bottle. Non chillfiltered, 50% ABV, a medium finish. This is the best blended Scotch I had so far! Cheers35.0 CAD per BottleMontreal -
Arran Amarone Cask Finish Single Malt
Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed November 9, 2018 (edited November 10, 2018)Surprise of the night, very unique flavor profile. Its sweet but it has a very drying finish. Completely different from the 10 and 14 year old but very pleasant. The finish is long probably due to the 50% ABV. Fruity and spicy. Great!83.0 CAD per BottleMontreal
