Day 1 — Knob Creek — Single Barrel Cask #7024
Welcome to day one and we got us a doozy for you. Not only is day one a cask strength one but it’s also a bourbon. Trust me though this is not any old bourbon. This bottle is part of the Knob Creek Single Cask line and is an exclusive cask bottling for BC Liquor…

Well unfortunately our Journey is at a end with day 25 but I hope you made it all the way though and you’re standing enough to talk about it. If you are, today’s bottle should help you deal with what ever you have gotten yourself into and at 20cl there is enough of it that…

Welcome to day 24. The end is in sight, I hope you all are close to the whisky a day that this doctor prescribes. I know a bunch of you are peat heads and seeing as this is the last day before the big one I found a little something special. Now even though we…
Day 23 — Aberlour 12
Welcome to day 23. While maybe not a house hold name Aberlour is consistently a good choice if you want a quality dram at a good value. This is a whisky that I drink when I want to think of the time just before winter where things are crisp and the air is fresh there…
Day 22 — G&M Glenburgie 10 Year
Welcome to day 22. Today we have a bit of a rarity as the vast majority of Glenburgie ends up in Ballatine’s blended whisky. Gordon & MacPhail bottles a small number of expressions, primarily this 10 year old, as single malts. Gordon & MacPhail History Gordon and MacPhail opened their premises on South Street, Elgin…
Day 21 — A.D. Rattray Cask Islay
Welcome to day 21. Today we have a bit of a misleading label as the bottle is not cask strength but is from the A.D Rattray Cask collection. While it is rumoured this single malt was distilled at Laphroaig, and the palate has some Laphroagian characteristics, this Islay single malt’s origins are not explicitly known. Enjoy!…
Day 20 — Bunnahabhain 12 Year
Welcome to day 20. When you think of whisky from Islay you generally think of peat and smoke but Bunnahabhain has taken a different approach from its many counterparts on Islay, championing itself as “the gentle taste of Islay,” boasting what they say is a “dram that embodies the island’s more approachable side.” I think you will…
