Did you want peat? Well, we’re giving it to you anyway! It results in a Jekyll and Hyde kind of thing going on here.

This whiskey is for someone, though I don’t know who.

A review perhaps too long in coming. This American homage to a Japanese whisky is a must-try flavor bomb.

Here's my pitch when it comes to choosing from the Old Forester variants: do you want more, or do you want better? The 1910 shoots for “better,” and for that I am a big fan.

A surprising example of when hate turns to love in the spirits world. Not everything makes a good first impression, but I’m as pleased as punch I stuck with it.

I’d argue it’s a great whisky, but Springbank 12 is a study in how great whiskies can sometimes be challenging or outright baffling if you don’t know what you’re getting into. I hope you decide to take the plunge!

If you like vodka, I haven't yet tasted one better. A very reasonable price should make this an essential buy if you don't have some already.
