The Legacy was discontinued a long time ago, so don't think I'll find another one. But I think I'll be ok...

Seems like a perfect night to rediscover just how delicious Canadian whisky can be.

Tonight we have a lovely 22 year old Glen Keith from 1998 bottled by Valinch & Mallett.
What's in your glass?

This 25 year old 1996 Benrinnes is the bottle that started my current love affair with old ex-bourbon Speyside malts. Lovely sweet funky fruity and just a little dusty. It's a beauty and I'll miss it.
WIYG tonight?

I'm also a fan of their bottles. The old label 95 is particularly nice!

A little treat from Friday night after my first full week back at work after the holidays. A successful conference in Vancouver, 4 deals closed, and plenty of momentum for Q1, so I thought I might as well get into something yummy!
Burgie never disappoints.

Mail day!
Today we received a 13 year old Mannochmore finished in Amontillado and a nice refill bourbon 20 year old Craigellachie.
I'm excited to try both of these Speyside beauties!

After 29 days in Brazil without any good whisky and a 27 hour trip home, it's high time for something delicious. I think a 22 year old Mortlach will do the trick!
It's been a while since I dipped into this bottle and holy hell is it ever fantastic. Welcome home to me!

A fresh #bottlepop to celebrate the end of a beautiful summer day in Brazil.
Actually, more of a bottle "crack", given the twist top...
Brazil is a bit of a whisky desert, so I'm telling myself that this is a lovely teaspooned Glenburgie.

Down at the Copa... Copacabana!
Nothing like a summer Christmas in the southern hemisphere. Not much in the way of whisky down here, but the caipirinhas are spectacular, as is the scenery!

FoB baby!
Friends of Bruichladdich has been one of my favourite FB groups for years, and I've finally managed to snag some FoB exclusive bottles.
First crack has lovely dark fruit and berry notes paired with some really nice barley sugar and caramel.

I always want to support the Canadian whisky industry, and we've put out some real bangers.
This isn't one of them.
Marginally better than the 12 year old, for roughly triple the price. The bottle is beautiful, but that's about all it has going for it. A Canadian Hibiki, if you will.

Some surprisingly nice corn juice at The Capitol Bar last night.
The Parker's is finished in Curacao casks and is interesting but nowhere near good enough to command its stratospheric price.
The Redwood Empire was a standout, I've never tried anything that early from them and it was great!

True, they're mostly ex-bourbon casks from back then.
My oldest bottle is the 26 year old SMOS and it's ex-bourbon. Stunner.
Earliest distilled is the Black Art 3.1 from '89, which is influenced by every cask Jim could get his hands on.
Have you tried the Cuvee 407? It's a lovely sherry-bomb

A little liquid inspiration last night while putting together the presentation deck for tonight's N.WO Ghost Story tasting featuring Pittyvaich, Millburn, Caperdonich, Littlemill, and the Old School Blend 31 from Signatory.

Imagine if you poured some Jack Daniel's over a bowl of Froot Loops and then strained it back into your glass? Sounds terrible, right?

I've also been tempted, but I've pretty consistently failed to resist that temptation. I'm a massive Elixir fan, and EoI bottles can be absolutely fantastic.
