Forty Creek Barrel Select Whisky
The bottle is nearly done, and I quickly need to capture the tasting notes for this Forty Creek Barrel Select Canadian whisky. I bought it in Canada during my July trip, and there is barely enough left for a tasting.
Heaven Hill Bourbon Whiskey Review
With the fall of the South African Rand against most currencies, my little hobby is becoming expensive. So image my surprise when I walked past a liquor shop that had some “bargain bourbon”. It was the Heaven Hill Kentucky Straight bourbon whiskey.
Whisky and Brie Cheese
After a relaxing holiday, the year started with new opportunities. And a chance to try out more whisky and cheese pairings. In December, Checkers brought out a new cheese brochure, which I read from end to end. It had all kinds of amazing cheese ideas, and I kept it for further inspiration.
Laphroaig Brodir Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
A Port finish release from Islay is not something you see every day. Today I try the Laphroaig Brodir single malt Scotch whisky. Over the years, my palate has evolved. In the beginning, I was not able to appreciate the peaty whiskies.
Kavalan King Car Conductor Whisky

Compass Box No Name No 2 Whisky
I tasted the Compass Box No Name No. 1 and the Compass Box No Name No. 2 blended malt Scotch whiskies about 18 months ago and have yet to capture the tasting notes. Released in 2019, this is the second limited edition in the Compass Box No Name series. The third bottling in this series was released in 2021.
