• Color: Pale Amber
• Aroma Neat: Honey and apples, oaky. There are many more aromas but I am having trouble selecting individual scents. All I know is that it smells great.

Still Waters is a brand new Canadian distillery in Concord, ON (Suburb of Toronto). They’re almost the exact opposite of a traditional, bland big Canadian distiller. Their twitter feed is very active, they seem to have distilled every possible whisky type under the sun and they’ve even set up a site[2] to log each of their casks as they fill them!

I was at the tiny distillery today on a quick road trip and decided to pick up their new ‘single malt’ new make spirit from 100% barley. Read more →

General Cigar introduced FOUNDRY, a new boutique collection, around August of last year. The line is a stark juxtaposition between the old and the new. This visually-arresting collection was inspired by the art form of “steampunk,” which is both a retrospective and futuristic interpretation of innovation. Below is a review of their 6 1/4″ x 54, the Lovelace. Read more →

Hi, folks! Longtime lurker finally getting around to sharing what I can. The inaugural review is for a Signatory bottling of Laphroaig. This is the product of a single refill butt cask (#4073 to be precise) holding whisky from September 18, 2000 to January 17, 2011.

It’s bottled at 46%, non-chill filtered, and has no added color, so it’s something of a fresh perspective on the regular 10yo distillery bottling. And so my notes on this end of day tipple had neat whilst relaxing on my couch at home…

Try to describe these characteristics when evaluating scotch, wine, craft beer, etc:

1. Appearance

What does it look like? Color. “Legs” (for wine, sake, mead). “Head” and lacing (for beer).

Does it look delicious sitting there in your glass? Or does it look like cheap, artificial color like JD or Cuervo? An older drink will often (not always) be darker than a newer one. Certain types of barrel finishes, such as Pedro Ximenez sherry, will darken the scotch significantly. Read more →
