Whiskies I’ll Never Own #3 – Highland Park 21

Here we go again with another expensive but (possibly) delicious whiskey: HP21!

Whisky Musings – Deanston 10 PX finish review

Deanston 10 PX Finish – 57.5% ABV – $79.95 (LCBO) Ok, I’ll up be up front with this one… It’s probably not going to be to everyone’s taste, but it’s definitely in the wheelhouse of my palate. It’s a BIG sherry influence, and if you don’t like that or you don’t like sweeter whiskies, this […]

Whiskies I’ll Never Own: Johnny Walker Blue Ghost & Rare

Whisky Musings – Aberlour A’bunadh Review

Aberlour A’bunadh Batch 53 (Speyside) – 59.5% ABV – $99.95 (LCBO) Nose: Nosed neat this is a dram that will come at you hard. Not purely alcohol, but big, fruity, sherry notes. Big notes of cherry, plum and raisins complemented by a lively honey and toffee sweetness. Recommend taking down the ABV with a […]
