When the sun gets over the yardarm I'll pour some Springbank and remember this review.

Good to know the good first impression continues for you. A delicious delicious dram which I wish was much more easy to find. Cheers!

I haven't tried it yet, will have to get on that!

Excellent shoot out of two whisky bruisers! Both sound good to me. A bit embarrassed to admit, I have a standard A'Bunadh and Benromachs 10 and 15 on the shelf, as yet unopened. Hoping to get some 'malt mates' time over the coming holidays to crack a few of these dust collectors! Worst of the snow missed us here over the weekend, but Winter is definitely lurking around the corner. Piles of the white stuff on the way...GAK. Cheers Ty, and here's to a great week ahead...🥃🥃 "m"e 🇨🇦

Thanks for your review Tyler 🎉 the difference is that Springbank is distilled 2.5 times instead of the regular double or triple distillation like it's neighbours 🥃

Great video, lots of good notes, and love the whisky. Glad you have a great dram to enjoy. Stay warm!

Keep that bottle out, I'll be there by midnight! 😜 I've had one chance to experience Springbank CS 12, when we were in Saint John NB a few years back. Haven't had anything like it, before or since. I do have the Longrow and the Hazelburn 10 on the shelf, but nothing has compared to that wee dram. One day perhaps... Fantastic review Ty, cheers! 🥃🥃 "m"e 🇨🇦

It's no wonder you are grinning through this whole thing!! 😁 Cheers, to an iconic whisky 🥃

Well I have to be honest I drank a lot of Ardbeg but not the An Oa. I usually go for the 10, uigedail or corryvreckan. How does the an oa compare with the uigedail/corryvreckan? The wee beastie is not so bad too, her it'd only like 40-55€ max. And the 10 is between 55€ and 65€ max Edit: you have the ledaig 10 and bunnahabhain 12 there to on the shelf I see.

I subbed, I like to help smaller revieuw channels, but before I watch this the 2013 is a lot better than the 2012 and better than the 2011 too. Lets see what you think of it now, because I love it! Edit I bought today another 1 and it's €84 and the classic laddie is like €64 max. I like the Islay barley also a lot more. But Classic Laddie you can have here for 20 to 30€ cheaper, so yeah I get that bottle too for people that don't drink Scotch often come over. The Classic Laddie and the Arran 10y are very good for the new guy/women that would like to try a Scotch single malt.

MGP can’t go wrong.

How heavy is the heavy cream you used?

Yummy

Dessert in a glass... I remember drinking these WAY back, when sweet cocktails were all the rage. The black Russian was my preferred choice. Thanks for the Copper Rose mention. They're now on my radar! Cheers, to disco drinks 😊 Marian 🇨🇦

Thanks for the video. I live just outside Windsor, Ontario and I have never heard of Copper Rose Distillery. Just Google Mapped it and it is literally downtown on its main street. I love being surprised and thanks for the stocking stuffer idea.

Dreary here as well. Chores and errands done, now a great day to kick back and catch some content. I don't have a lot of bourbon on the shelf. Of those I do have, my favourites are... Wild Turkey 101 (WT Rare Breed runs second to this for me) Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Four Roses Single Barrel I prefer less sweetness, so I appreciate this review. Probably not for me. We were recently over the border and checked out a few of the liquor stores. Grabbed a High West Campfire, which is a smokey blend. Haven't cracked it yet. Hope it's a good one! Have you ever tried it? Also scooped an anCnoc 12 at 43 ABV. It's only 40 here, when you can get it. So THAT was a find! Enjoy the rest of your weekend Ty. Cheers...🥃🥃 Marian 🇨🇦

I'm so fortunate to live close to Sons of Vancouver. If you are in Vancouver, do go to their tasting room!

Awesome comparison man. The comparison to Benromach style peat is a good one and I'm sure will be music to the ears of any Benromach fans. I meant to mention in my video(but forgot) that some of the other distilleries that often use the same peat source as Meikle Toir(St. Fregus) are Ardmore, Lagg and occasionally Springbank. I can totally see the comparison to Ardmore peat smoke, it's in the same family but just to a lower degree. Awesome comparison man. Cheers buddy 🥃

Nice review, I'm on the hunt to find the original, and turbo❤

Excellent head to head on these two. Sherry with peat is generally my preference, but sounds like the original is giving it a run for it's money here. Cheers Ty! 🥃🥃 "m"e 🇨🇦

Meikle Tòir has not hit my shelves yet. The original sounded good, and you're right the turbo seems to be the one everyone wants to hunt down though. Thanks for sharing!

Great meeting you in person this morning! Favourably comparing the original Meikle Tòir to Benromach is a great selling point in my books.

I take a pour of Old Parr 12 and add a dribble of the 105, Freakin delicious. Cheers

Cool they sent you this. I've seen this on the shelf, but very little information. I love high AB Rye. Thanks for sharing, I may need to pick this up. Cheers!

A favourite of mine, but lately it seems many have lost their interest in it. Good to know you enjoy it too!

I just tried the 101 for the first time last weekend. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing!

Another enjoyable review. Cheers!

Looks like the GF 25 is widely available at LCBO at the moment, only $500...🤪 Which actually isn't bad for that age statement these days. Wee tad outside of MY budget though! I have never tried Glenfarclas. I do have the 15 year old stashed, as yet unopened. Hoping to break into it this year. Don't have a lot of whisky chums to share with, so progress tends to be a bit slow. I'm very glad you talk about adding water to high strength whisk(e)ys. It seems to be a badge of honour with some folk to not do so. I'm more aware, especially as I get older, that I have one liver to last one lifetime. I want to be sipping whisky right up until the end. Depending on what I'm drinking, I usually add two drops at a time to bring down the strength. This takes a while, but there really is a sweet spot you hit at a certain point, where the consistency and mouth feel changes. Ribs! 😋 Cheers Ty, and enjoy your weekend! 🥃🥃 Marian 🇨🇦

A sour whisky for a whisky sour...? 🤔 I have very few blends floating around, as much due to limited space as anything else. CS Prohibition has been of interest, but I doubt I'll be adding it to the collection. In T.O. on business this weekend. Hoping to stop by Allen's on the Danforth for a dram. They have a wicked whisky list. Last time I got to sip a 25 year old Brora 1975-2001. It was, quite simply, a beautiful thing. Cheers Ty 🥃😊🥃 Marian 🇨🇦

I'm not a rye or bourbon drinker, but I appreciate your reviews of non-Scotch whisk(e)y. It never hurts to know what's out there. Cheers!

I just can't bring myself to do it, I have a bottle of Ezra Brooks Single Barrel Cask Strength 124 proof for $54.99 and is quite tasty. The Ezra Brooks 7yr Old Ezra Bourbon 117 proof is $79.99 I just can't bring myself to spend the extra $25! and if I were I would get the bottle of Old Forester Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky Barrel Strength134.9 proof Ive been eyeing for about $4 more. Great review and 🥃Cheers!

Nice one Tyler, good idea for a vertical. I haven't had the 12 in years but the Prohibition is one of my favourite blended whiskies. Cheers!

Fun walk through. One I have never done. I've brought Cutty Sark home a few times, it seems like Channels in the UK really enjoy it. I have learned to, but was not my favourite for a while. Now, that sourness is looked for. Cheers!

Great review. I almost picked that one up.

40 creek

I loved the Rye... too bad its sold out everywhere now

Whew...smokin'! Nice comparison to celebrate the season. The Ten is definitely a fave. Gonna be up in your neck of the woods (sort of) over Halloween. Driving to Arnprior to visit a friend for a few days. Long haul from London, but it should be a beautiful trip with the fall colours. Cheers Ty 🥃😁🥃 Marian 🇨🇦

First review, eh? Not too shabby at all! 😉 "m"e 🇨🇦

I don't even need to pour anything to smell what's in front of you. The aroma is seeping out of my monitor.😂

All great offerings.

I got 2 of your fall picks🍁 nice video!! Happy fall my friend.

I'm not ready to push the peat freak button quite yet! Still enjoying the heavier sherried offerings as the weather cools down. Glen Scotia Victoriana leads, with Lindores (Casks of-Oloroso) holding a tight second. Don't have four of what you've got there. We did drive by the Gretzky distillery Sunday, but didn't stop in. Next time we definitely will though. My 2021 Ledaig 10 is simply wonderful. Nice to see you having fun with the graphics. Cheers, to Autumn leaves!! I see a whole lot of raking in our futures 😂 Marian 🇨🇦

Hi, can I use all brandy for this? Or Brandy and bourbon? I am not a fan of rum

3.25% milk is something I’ve never seen before. I guess it’s whole milk as you said, I’ve just never seen it labeled that way before haha it threw me off

That looks amazing!

Isn't half and half just half heavycream and half while milk? Why not just use all half and half?

Just put up TWELVE 32oz Mason Jars: 9 with Myer's Dark Rum/Bulleit Bourbon/Hennesey Cognac 3 with Kraken Rum only Ought to go well with the "Apple Pie Moonshine" I made back in June.

Finally broke 300 subs...freaking YAY! Happy to be part of it. I know it's a hard slog growing a channel, but you are obviously enjoying yourself and that's the main thing. I have the Classic Laddie and the Bere Barley. They're great, though not favourites. One day I hope to try The Black Arts release, likely through a friend or at a whisky bar. WAY out of my price range otherwise. 😞 Hopefully you got to see The Water of Life: A Whisky Film, about Bruichladdich. Riveting documentary. Another excellent review, Ty. Keep 'em coming! 🥃🥃 "m"e 🇨🇦

Fascinating! Unfortunately, I know exactly what my wife would say if I proposed taking up that much space in the refrigerator for that length of time. (Yes, I know I could halve, quarter or eighth the recipe, but where's the fun in that?)

This just looks delicious! My Dad (long gone now) used to make something similar for x-mas every year. That, and advocatt. I have no idea what liquors he added, but it was always wonderful. I agree with the Goslings. We visited Bermuda about 12 years ago, and brought back a few bottles of both dark and light. It's a lovely rum. By the way, that Stone Fence is likely going to be a new fave 😁 Cheers Ty, and hope your week goes great! Marian 🇨🇦
