#35 definitely has graham crackers in flavour!

The peated release that I had was amazing! And the classic Two Brewers! Great video! Happy Canada Day Jon!

The Classic and Peated releases sound right up my alley. I have not tried a Two Brewers yet, I really must seek some out. Great idea for Canada content Jon. All the best to you and yours on this wonderful Canada Day sir.

Happy Canada Day 🎉🇨🇦🎆

haha cleaning the house is better with a buzz

Happy Canada Jon. Sipping on a Shelter Point 10 year and smoking a brisket. Cheers

Happy Canada Day Jon! In my humble opinion, Two Brewers Distillery is the best Canadian single malt distillery. My favourite is their release 33! Cheers 🥃!

Happy Canada Day, Jon!

Happy Canada Day Jon!

Happy Canada Day, neighbor! 🇨🇦🇺🇸

I haven't had a chance to watch the Bridgeland interview vid yet, but it's saved to catch at some point soon. I think we were heading out east when it dropped. At times it feels as though we're barely treading water when it comes to keeping an eye on what the industry is producing. There's just so much out there now. Have really had to sit back, relax, and put it into perspective. One thing I feel it's important to remember, is how incredibly fortunate we are. To be able to indulge in this passion...(hobby? obsession?)...truly is a privilege, especially in a day and age when so many are struggling. I'm extremely grateful for what I do have. Sharing in the whisky community seems to be a given, whether with samples, advice, knowledge, or enthusiasm. It transcends all borders. Surely such generosity is something that we should aspire to, in every aspect of our lives. Happy Canada Day, my friend that I've yet to meet! 🥃🇨🇦🥃 Marian

Hey Jon, I’m in Regina and Last Mountain is 20 minutes from my door. I have the Pile O’ Bones wheat whisky. Actually I’ve had it for a couple of years and mine is right about at the same fill level. Your tasting notes weren’t far off from what I’d think of it and much like you I couldn’t get past the weird sweet and soapy taste. I know you corrected yourself about a soapy note but when I heard you say the word I had an “ah ha” moment. That’s what I get out of it. I really didn’t care for it at all. However I did have a quarter bottle of their 2020 Distiller’s Batch (their take on bourbon) and it had oxidized a bit too much and also sat so about a month ago I figured it wouldn’t hurt anything. It wouldn’t be much of a loss to blend the two of them together in one bottle and let it sit for a while and marry. The result was actually quite pleasant as the wheat was a nice complement to the 75% rye and 25% corn mash bill of the distillers select. Regardless, I appreciate the honest review and I have also had the hundred percent wheat and I agree it is a superior product. Great review Jon keep up the good work. 🥃👌

Happy Canada Day, Jon. I don't have any Canadian Wheat Whiskeys, but I am sipping on Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye. It has been very sunny here in central Texas and the third day in a row at least 100°F. I might try and find that award winning wheat whiskey that sounds so interesting.

Sun, whisky on the deck...happy Canada day my friend...

I have not tried many wheat whiskies and the ones I have have been quite lacking in punch and flavour. These were all US whiskies but would be interested in trying some Canadian. Got to push our own spirit on this Canada Day long weekend. Cheers Jon. Glad you got a nice day, rainy here in the seaway.

Have to admit, I've never actually had a straight wheat whisky. Smaller amounts in grain blends, but that's it. Will have to remedy this at some point, it sounds interesting. Guessing you're now into a month or so of freedom, imagine that's making you extremely happy! You've picked a good way to start off, to my mind... Stay cool out there! 😎 Cheers J 🥃🥃 "m"e 🇨🇦

Hi Jon, have a good one, mate!!!!!!!

Jenna ❤🥰🙏🏻

Loved this interview. The nerdier the better. The more i learn about this industry, the more i realize i don't know. It's so cool. I'm sorry to say, i didn't end up getting Realms of Rye. I shied away, after agonizing for few hours because of the price. Though i definitely regret that decision, and wish i had bought a bottle. If anyone knows where i can find one, it would be much appreciated.

Fabulous discussion! I wish I could have tuned in live! Love this Rye!!! Cheers!

Yet another excellent live. I could hang out with those guys for hours. Talk about interesting! Thanks again for your time and effort in putting these together, and please know that it's hugely appreciated... Cheers, as always 🥃🥃 Marian 🇨🇦

Like I have mentioned on several channels, I now know why there are never any bottles to purchase, they all end up on youtube channels. Will buy Little Book chapter 8 since I cannot get these.

Hey fabulous! It's amazing!!! Age stamps used to matter a lot to me. Not so much anymore. I have had amazing single malt scotch with NAS that are spectacular and worth every penny! They can matter but they don't have to. Looking forward to tomorrow night! This is amazing stuff! Love this group who puts out such high quality spirits!! 🙂Glad Joel and I each ordered one and were successful. Very limited release.

I've never had a whiskey from New Zealand I'll search for one. More for novelty it doesn't sound stellar to me.

I learned my lesson about buying NAS Glenlivet's after trying that Founder's Reserve nonsense. I like them in general though. I just bought the 12 YR 200th Special Edition and just today I tried the 15 YR for the first time. One day I'll try an Armorik, but not until I find it somewhere else because here in BC it's way overpriced.

Like my standard triple distilled Dingle Single Malt aged in bourbon and sherry casks! The Cask Strength Batch 6 is still available on their website for 150 Euros!

Dingle is amazing. Delicious! Love this expression. I got it on a trip to visit my husband's family in Ireland. The distillery tour is awesome! I don't mind the Scapegrace! I don't mind getting roughed up a bit with a young single malt once in awhile! Best with a terrific higher ABV Islay!! If it's the same distillery they make terrific gin! Fab video Jon! Cheers! :-) Not sure if you have seen/tried the Crown Royal Single Malt. I think it's a new release. I haven't had any but my husband is not impressed. Let me know if you have tried it! Tonight he's having more fun and enjoyment with an Ardbeg An Oa that he got last week at the BC Liquor Branch's Special Release Day!

“The dingle ate my baby”

Dingle ex-b/ex-s is occasionally found here, haven't seen any other releases from them. From everything you've said, I know I would like the Dingle Port as I'm also a BIG fan of Tomatin 14. Keeping a watch out, just in case. If it turns up, it's coming home with me! Scapegrace Black Gin has been around in Ontario, but not their whiskey...yet. Looks like your temps have dropped to a more reasonable level. Glad to hear it. Now you can enjoy being outside. I'm much happier in the low 20s as well. This 33C with +40 humidex got old FAST! Finally easing off over the next few days. Hope your up and coming week is a good one. Cheers...🥃🥃 Marian 🇨🇦

Cheers Jon, just doing some due diligence, nice review, I'll feel a bit easier handing over my hard earned housekeeping savings.😊

Try the High Coast HAV Swedish Single Malt Whisky.

Great idea pulling out the run-cask Glenlivet as a summer dram. That might even work down here in Houston. 😛 FWIW I've got beer in the fridge and good sipping rums and tequilas on hand to help get us through summer ... all of that is alongside some lighter/fruitier whisk[e]ys of course. 😉 Cheers!

French whisky has begun to be talked about in some of the forums, so I'm glad to get your take on this one. Armorik sounds good overall, and you're right. It may just need a few more years to really come into its own. Will have to keep an eye/ear open as further products are released. You know, there's nothing wrong with a decent basic dram. Affordable, available, easier on the old liver! Haven't had this particular Glenlivet but for a lighter alternative, or in a summer cocktail, it could work a treat. Cheers to the weekend, very glad you're finally getting a little summer weather. Mind you, you can have some of ours...we're baking here! Enjoy the evening 🥃🥃 Marian 🇨🇦

I don't buy anything from Glenlivet anymore. I'm having some Classic Laddie tonight and loving it! Cheers...

I like the Glenlivet IIlicit Still. It’s non-chill filtered and bottled at a higher 48% abv, but more expensive.

i've tried this glenlivet a couple times cuz it's in the 4mini sample pack, and if i had it blind i'd just say it was a rum and not a whisky

Not a fan of the Glenlivet in general. Try out the Lagavulin Offerman 4th Edition! Delicious! It should absolutely be in a back yard summer party. Glenlivet - this expression - is too sweet. The Lagavulin is well balanced with smoke and sweet! Great video! Cheers!

Hello Jon! I like Bourbon cask whisky in warmer weather (Glencadam 10!). My latest rum cask scotch is Lagavulin 11 years old Offerman Edition. If you haven’t tried, please let me share my bottle with you. I think this one is a great summer dram.

Excellent duo my friend.

Hi, You aren't the first reviewer to say that AnCnoc 12 has some Ex-Sherry cask influence. However, in direct conversation with the distillery manager, Gordan Bruce, he categorically denies this. It is 100% First-Fill and Refill Ex-Bourbon barrels. Moreover, he confirmed that E150a colour has been added.

These are both good. I would add wild turkey 101. It is almost the perfect taste and value.

These whiskeys have gone up over $100 usd, where I live. Looking to try one but at that price, they’re in a crowded league.

Glenfiddich 12 vs. Monkey Shoulder. Usually, I drink whisky on the rocks. Which one do you recommend to me?

Happy Father’s Day Jon! I really like little hint of citrus in Glendronach CS. Slàinte 🥃 !

Great review of those two supposed sherry dominant CS. I have tried GlenAllachie 10 CS B8 and it's a solid dram. I picked up B9 so look forward to trying that in future. I am glad to hear there are different flavor nuances between GA and GD CS. WIth that, I would love to find a bottle of Glendronach CS somewhere in ON or even in AB to have an oppty to compare. I am still loving the A'bunadh for a CS sherry bomb experience though. Happy Father's Day to you Jon! I am proud dad of two incredible sons that are at a stage where I see the whole thing is slowly turning into a father-son to a dad-son-friend thing...weird but in a good way!

good to know, glenalachaie is out for me. started my journey on bourbon, and virgin oak is getting placed on the back burner wanting something different. this really showed up for me when i tried slane vs the higher proof slane using more virgin oak, and i liked the cheaper version better cuz it didnt overpower the sherry cask

Are you going to be reviewing the new Alberta Distiller's Rare Batch 23 Year Old? Frankly, I thought you would have had a review up by now.

Nice review Jon and Happy Father's Day. The only sherry cask Scotch I currently have is the Macallen 12 Year, but a tasty pour. By the way, I love your intro music. What is it? Slàinte Mhath!

Can't get Old Grand Dad in Ontario. Going to grab one next time I go to the US

Rare Breed is a solid performer!
