Sample review. THE perfect Christmas dram. Lovely sweet sherry notes on the nose. A sweet arrival with dark fruits, a light spicyness and vanilla custard. More sherry on the finish with a very faint smoke. I could drink this every day. To bad its 180 CAD$ over here.

Sample review. Big and powerfull! Ash and camp fire smoke on the nose. This dram takes over your palate. Peat, brine, smoke, sweet caramelized bbq. A long finish. This bottle costs 180 CAD$ here in Quebec which I find way to much. If I could find it for a decent price this would be a no brainer.

Love me some Bruichladdich! Distilled in 2010, bottled in 2017. Awesome packaging and lovely presentation of the whisky. Lovely sea breeze on the nose, makes you feel like you're at the beach on a windy day. The palate has grilled lemons with black pepper and sea salt. You catch a hint of the wine casks used on the finish combined with brine and again some black pepper. Really impressive stuff for such a young whisky. Love the transparency of Bruichladdich. I definitely recommend this one, cheers all.

Sample review. I'm directly in love with this dram, will be on the lookout for a bottle. The fruity notes from the Moscatel sherry work perfectly together with the mild smoke and saltiness of Coal Ila. Tropical fruits and camp fire smoke on the nose. It has a very sweet arrival of again juicy tropical fruits. The finish is unmistakably Islay with peat, salt and smoke. Fantastic!

Quick sample review. Sweet on the nose, some vanilla as well. I get banana bread and cinnamon on the palate. More cinnamon and vanilla on the medium to short finish. It's a pretty nice dram, not spectacular but okay.

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 bar

Sample review. Fantastic, wow! Smoked fish on the nose combined with classic Ardbeg peat. Very sweet and fruity on the palate. A finish that keeps on going. Smoke, Sherry and sea salt. Stunning!

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 Kilchoman

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.

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!
