Review #102: Springbank 18 Fresh Sherry Cask
Last Thursday, before the COVID-19 crisis quarantined us all starting this week, we went to Overproof. The reservations had been long outstanding – I made them early February, so I felt obligated to go (there was a $25/pp cancellation fee …
Review #101: Bruichladdich 1990 Signatory 26 Year
Truth be told, we started this review a while ago. We had this alongside the previously reviewed Bruichladdich 1990/25 travel exclusive. Both drams are excellent and I’d happily guzzle either of them. The slight edge goes to the namesake …

As mentioned in our Dalmore 12 review, the reddit community does not like Dalmore much. There are some good points: they’re a bit watery (and a bit pricey). But the broader market likes Dalmore; some because of the shiny …
Review #95: Highland Park 2005 Octave
Vancouver is fun to visit, but there is a 90% chance it will rain at some point and then one needs an indoors activity contingency plan. For us, this typically involves liquor stores. In particular, I was very keen on …
