Still Waters Canadian Single Malt New Make, 100% Barley!

Originally posted on Reddit by bravado. Give him an upvote, he deserves it!

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.

Foundry Lovelace Review – 6 ¼ ” x 54 – Great Way To Start The Weekend!

Originally posted to Reddit by Appealing_Biscuit. Minor edits made by the author.

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.

Signatory Laphroaig 10yo (2000) – Islay Single Malt Scotch

Originally posted on Reddit by the_wilderness

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…

I bought this bottle earlier this evening, I opened and sampled it at brother in laws birthday dinner with he and my dad. First neat, then with a few added drops of water.

5 Simple Criteria To Evaluate Whiskey (by /u/adremeaux)

Content originally published on Reddit by adremeaux

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.
