Posts of each month’s taster!
Highland Park The Dark 17 Year
Glen Garioch 21
An old dusty, clearly from the leather-look case! A very clear departure from GG’s modern approach – there is no 21 year age statement any longer, but rather “vintages” of specific years, such as 1999. A great dram!
Kirkland 20 Year Sherry Cask Finish
You cannot purchase Kirkland Whisky in Ontario, but the Club was able to procure a bottle for interests’ sake. Actually quite good for the very fair price of around $70 for a 20 year whisky ($100 for us). There are several online theories regarding which Speyside distillery the whisky actually came from…
Signatory Vintage Glenburgie 25
Another great expression from Signatory Vintage, and another new distillery to this club! Great to experience an affordable 25 year-old at a reasonable price point in the $300 range. Sourced from Alberta.
Tullibardine 25
A smooth, well loved dram on a lovely summer night. You won’t be seeing 25 year old Tulli for a while, as the distillery was not operating from 1995-2003. This bottle was purchased in 2020! Perhaps there is still some around?
Maltbarn Port Charlotte 13
Maltbarn Port Charlotte 12
The Single Cask – Ben Nevis 20
A great dram from an independent bottler – wish we saw more Ben Nevis around Ontario, a friendly place located at the foot of mount Ben Nevis in Fort William, Scotland, but owned by Japanese whisky, Nikka.
Ardnamurchan Peated American Oak
The Peated Version, in a fantastically styled bottle. Exclusively for Canada, we got bottle 15 of 266.
