Pike Creek 15 Year Old Cabernet Sauvignon Finish – A Foreign Affair (that’s not foreign at all, or very affair-ish), but it is delicious!
Due to COVID times and its affect on premium whisky sales, we will not be
seeing a 2020 release of the Northern Border Collection. As unfortunate as
this is, I’m glad to see Dr. Don Livermore and team come in with a few new
whisky releases for the year. Pike Creek 15 Year Old is one of these new
limited releases.

Templeton Rye (Rye?) Aged 6 Years Review – Emojis get involved. Plus, Tito’s Vodka!
Templeton Rye is not (what most people would consider) a real rye. It is,
though, legally a rye. It’s just not a straight rye which is what most
people assume when they drink rye. It’s history is largely 💩. It’s not the
first whisky with a questionable past, and won’t be the last, but Templeton
has the distinct honour of being sued for their dishonesty. It stands along
side with Tito’s Vodka claims to be hand made. Tito’s continues to be the
best selling brand in North America, so I just 🤷♂️ at that, and whether
it matters at all.

Barrell Dovetail Review – The wonderful ‘unbourbony’ treat
From previous reviews, you can tell that I’m a big fan of Barrell Craft
Spirits. It seems they can do no wrong when it comes to bourbon. Dovetail,
though, isn’t a bourbon. It’s a whisky that has plenty of barrel finishes,
and those barrel finishes aren’t subtle. Not one bit. When we had Will
Schragis from Barrell Craft Spirits on the podcast, he suggested this is a
great place to start if you’re new to BCS. I agree.

Ardbeg Wee Beastie Review – Nothing to Hide
Wee Beastie. The name is adorbs. The single malt scotch is aged for five
years, two years longer than minimum. Non-chill filtered, no added
coloring, and no cask finishes—matured in a mix of European (Oloroso) and
American oak. And to quote Bry Simpson, the Canadian Brand Ambassador’s,
favorite phrase: “It’s a banger!”
