Itâs been a minute, so today, Iâd like to share a âweeâ whisky review with you! âşď¸ I recently had the pleasure and honour of partnering with @BCLiquorStores, to review the newly released @TheDalmore Valour, and sample a variety of spirits included in this yearâs Premium Spirit Release!

The Dalmore | Valour | NAS, 40% ABV
Today, I will be sharing my review on one of @BCLiquorStores newest additions to their selection of Single Malt Scotch Whisky! @TheDalmore‘s Valour is an intriguing tipple, which spent its maturation period in three cask types; American white oak, Oloroso casks formerly containing 30-year-old Matusalem sherry, and Tawny Port pipes.

Ledaig | 10YO, 46.3% ABV
Itâs #WhiskyReview time! âşď¸ Ledaig 10, the dram which will always remind me of my Whisk(ey) Wifey, @ReeceSims. I first met Reece at Vancouver’s Hopscotch Festival, back in November of 2019, when she introduced me to Ledaig, @Bunnahabhain, and @DeanstonMalt‘s whiskies. I’m sure I made a statement with my bedazzled cane Michael (…, get it?), or, maybe we just clickedContinue reading “Ledaig | 10YO, 46.3% ABV”

The Glenturret | Peat Smoked | 10YO, 50% ABV
When I think of @TheGlenturretWhisky, I am reminded of the fantastic experience touring the distillery and tasting whiskies in the dunnage warehouse with Managing Director, John Laurie! I was taken aback by distilleryâs rich history and their focus on small batch production, using only the finest ingredients and traditional whisky production methods. It was amazing toContinue reading “The Glenturret | Peat Smoked | 10YO, 50% ABV”

Happy #Friyay friends, I have a new whisky review to share with you! As most of you know, over the past 12 months I’ve fallen for a particular Islay distillery, the beloved @Ardbeg!

As Islay’s newest distillery, founded in 2005, Kilchoman was the first to be built on the western island inContinue reading “Kilchoman | Sanaig | NAS, 46% ABV”
Shelter Point | The Forbidden | 6YO, 47% ABV
As you may well know, I received a surprise #WhiskyMail package from @ShelterPoint on Monday! đ I could no longer resist temptation, so last night I popped the fancy Vinolok glass top of their ‘The Forbidden’, expression. A little bit of background; this offering’s name is as an eponym for a local landmark, the Forbidden Plateau. A precipitous plateauContinue reading “Shelter Point | The Forbidden | 6YO, 47% ABV”
