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.
