Day 21 we got ourselves a classic today. Not too strong not too weak just a tasty refreshing dram. Let’s dig in. Whisky Country: Scotland Age: 12 years ABV: 43 Profile A resolute adherence to maturation in ex-Sherry casks helps to produce a whisky which is rich, resonant and capable of extremely long ageing, itself…

Day 20 — Laird of fintry rum
Day 20 I picked out this whisky last spring and had planned to put it in this years calendar before winning the whisky lottery of Okanagan spirits this year so I just but in both. Besides there are not a lot of rum finished whiskies certainly not a WhiskyDev one in the works out there…
Day 19 — Lagavulin – Distillers edition
Day 19 as we start the final week it seems appropriate to have a distillery that looks like what I imagine a Vancouver Island distillery would. Seems like a good way to start the last week if you ask me. Let’s dig in. Whisky Country: Scotland Age: NAS ABV: 43 Profile What actually happened was…
Day 18 — Tobermory 12
Welcome to day 18. Today we have another lesser tasted distillery for you. Again not sure why as Tobermory makes good whisky. If you’re a fan of peat you’re probably more aware of their peated offering Ledaig which again tasty. Let’s dig in. Whisky Country: Scotland Age: 12 ABV: 46.3 Profile In its current form,…
Day 17 — Edradour 10
Day 17. Today we have a older but lesser drunken whisky which seems strange given that almost everything they make is tasty. Keeping today’s blurb short let’s just dig in.

Day 16 — Càrn Mòr – Ardmore

Day 15 — Invergordon – Duncan Taylor 1990 Sherry Cask
Day 15 we have officially hit the mid point of the calendar. If you are here on Dec 15th 2020 then I tip my hat to you if not that is also fine 25 days of whisky is a hard press and sometimes difficult to schedule. All that said I have a tasty number today…
Day 14 — Jefferson’s – Ocean Voyage 17
Day 14. If you’re a fan of bourbon I hate to break it to you but this is not your year. This is our one and only bourbon but it is a tasty one. I am a big fan of boats and whisky and this is a very interesting marriage of the two and it’s…
Day 13 — Tullibardine – The Murray
Welcome to day 13. I feel Tullibardine is a strange distiller some of their product can be so good and some of it so bad. Possibly the reason they are not that big. That said they make a lot more whisky than me so they are doing alright. Today’s dram is an example of some…
Day 12 — An Cnoc Peatheart Batch 2
Day 12 as part of the BC premium release event this year they revived some An Cnoc peat heart batch 2. I remember people liking the first version of this when it was released and I try to collect a peated and non-peated offering from the event to go into the calendar each year. This…
