Forty Creek Copper Pot Reserve

Forty Creek Copper Pot Reserve

Sweet needn't be a bad thing, but you've really got to buckle in for a shockwave of maple if you want to get your tentacles around this one.  Overall Rating: ★★☆

Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky

Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky

Nobody really expects anything from this spartan-looking bottle. Until they take a sip and have to hunt around on the floor to see where their jaw went. A favorite of mine and a future favorite of yours.  Overall Rating: ★★★

Pendleton Canadian Whisky

Pendleton Canadian Whisky

Unless something worse comes along, this is the biggest stinker of maybe 300-some odd whiskies I've tried. Let me lead you by the hand into an explanation of why Pendleton is simultaneously terrible and ponderously dumb.

Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt

Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt

It's always surprising to me that Japanese whisky has such a huge following when the name of the game is subtlety.  Overall Rating: ★☆☆
