Whisk(e)y Musings – Powers 12 John’s Lane Review

Powers 12 John’s Lane (Irish – Pot Still) – 46% ABV Well here we go… My first Irish whiskey review! I’ve generally enjoyed the history of Irish whiskey far more than the actual product, as I’ve tended to find them pleasant, but a little too uncomplicated to hold my interest for long.

Whisky Musings – Glenfarclas 12 Review

Glenfarclas 12 (Speyside) – 43% ABV – $74.95 (LCBO) Nose: Full and fruity, and fresh in a way that reminds me of a glade or orchard after a rainfall. Red currants, raisins, slight strawberry, are joined by notes of grapes and pears. That freshness comes through as something vegetal, like damp grass or wild […]
