Can't argue with any of them mate, brilliant list, delicious whiskies!
This is the magic that keeps us engaged. Same distillery, every offering different. Then multiply that one distillery by................ Cheers Ty, and have a great week 🥃🥃 Marian 🇨🇦
One of my favourite whiskies of all-time was an 8 year old single cask Benromach bottled exclusively for the SAQ, at 59.4% ABV. It was bottled in 2017 and I bought it in 2018 (and emptied it in 2022). It was matured in a first-fill bourbon cask. I miss it very much. Lucky you to be able to sample those three CS Benromachs. Cheers!
Good to know since I only have the "Whisky Rant" bottle.
Thanks for the comment Peter. The Whisky Rant was my personal favourite out of the bunch. All were excellent as to be expected from Benromach. Cheers.
I love all of these!! Yay peat!!
Definitely my favourite region Christine. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
@@SeawayWhiskyWire 🙂Love your channel.
Great stuff I love all of those bottles. Keep up the good work
Thanks pal! Appreciate all your support.
I’ve been thinking about picking up a bottle of Garrison Brothers, thanks for this review!!! That Thomas H Handy is a fantastic rye, but expensive!!!! Lol however I’d still be tempted to grab it if I ever get the opportunity to.
Thanks for the kind words of encouragement Owen. The Lady Bird is a very unique whiskey and worth the adventure. The Thomas hit just right and I will definitely be on the hunt for it. Thanks for your comment. Cheers.
I’m so excited to try their latest release that I was able to grab!!! Great review, I’ll be keeping a closer eye out for the next release of this Realms of Rye!
Enjoy that Palm Trees in a Tropical Storm. It sounds incredible. Cheers Owen.
As others have said, Kilkerran and Glen Scotia make some phenomenal Campbeltown whiskies too!
Thanks for the comment Owen, I am very interested in continuing to discover Campeltown expressions and distilleries. The journey awaits as long as I can find them lol. Cheers.
Straight Rye all the way after single malt scotch!! I like this Thomas Handy. Prefer 100% rye!! Fabulous video!!
Merci! I was fortunate to have these sent to me from the Whiskey Shaman. He has a great podcast and channel as well. Cheers Christine!
I love a great 100% rye!
Wicked, they sent you a bottle!? So lucky! This rye was amazing, I was lucky enough to try it before it was released but wow is it expensive. Keen to see their next releases in this series!
I am very grateful to have received this from the crew. Anything SOV touches is gold. I am sure their next one will be epic! Cheers.
Still on The Coffee this morning ☕😆☕ That Garrison Bro's would be going into more than just a glass around here. Hot chocolate, apple sauce, apple pie, pecan pie, ice cream drizzle...I can think of a ton of different uses. T H Handy sounds pretty good too. Cheers Ty, and to The Whisky Shaman as well! Marian 🇨🇦
That's a great Idea Marian! I still have a little yet and may try it over pie in the fall. It's definitely unique
@@onewomanswhisky amen on some ice cream.
@@the_whiskeyshaman I know, right? 😁
Good stuff both of those bottles are great of their own accord. The handy is one that is more classic rye. And the ladybird is a sweet treat whiskey. Keep up the great work.
Thank you my friend!

Thanks for sharing your list Steve. All great choices! Hope you are enjoying the content. Cheers.
My collection started at 40 when my wife bought me a bar 15 years ago Added two glass cabinets added one for my best whisky’s and one for best Bourbies & Ryes Added 3 cabinets and just got a new half cabinet Up to over 380 bottles of Single Malts, Double Malts, Blended Malts, Bourbons, Ryes, Corn, Wheat whiskies, Scotch blends Running out of room on the back of my bar LOL again
Thanks for the comment Steve. Great story that I can definitely relate too. Cheers sir.
The people at Sons of Vancouver are so kind! Lovely people!!
100% agree!!!!
@@SeawayWhiskyWire I hope you can visit one day! They are about to have a new release. My husband has one ordered!
@@christinecamley I hear. Rum Cask. Sounds epic!!!
@@SeawayWhiskyWire It sure does!! 🙂
Newest release of Palm Trees drops today. Debating... I've not yet had any of their whiskys. Glad you enjoyed this one. Cheers Ty! 🥃🥃 Marian 🇨🇦
I missed out on the sale as I was away. Rum Cask meets SOV=Epic. Hopefully can try a wee dram via sample. Cheers M and enjoy the weekend!
Did you grab it!? I missed it
@@shortpours I made a VERY hard choice, and decided to wait until the next Realms of Rye comes out. It's going to be expensive but I think that's the one I'll splurge on...IF I can get on it quick enough when it's released! 😉
I was given a sample of this one, as the bottles sold out quickly, was very good. IMO the cask strength rye "cask 13" from Last Straw in Concord is at the same level or better and at less than half the price all in, a much better and available purchase for Rye lovers in Ontario.
Thanks for your comment Peter. I must try Last Straw to compare but also to support another great Canadian distillery. Cheers.
I love this newish Rye! I feel lucky to have been able to grab a bottle! Great thoughts!! 🙂
Merci Christine! It's a great bottle from SOV. They are always turning out bangers!
@@SeawayWhiskyWire They sure are!! Have an awesome weekend!! 🙂
@@christinecamley you as well! Cheers.
@@SeawayWhiskyWire Thanks!!
Wow sounds pretty great. Cheers.
Thanks Randy! I have some set aside for you. Working on a care package for you my friend. Cheers.
Great pick for a first impression and glad you liked it. It is batch variant but it varies between good and great 😃 It's not easy but if you can find it could be fun to watch your first impressions on all Campbeltown entry level (or upwards) whiskies. Cheers!
Thanks for the comment and the video idea! I am on the hunt for more Campbeltown expressions and am hopeful I will secure more. Thanks again and Cheers.
Love your intro!
Man, I gotta try this stuff! Looks awesome!!!
Thanks Les!
Nice review! I’m glad I picked one up. Cheers!
Thanks. I hope you enjoy it! Cheers.
YES!!! 😁
Omg YES!
Pure liquid gold. Thoroughly enjoyed watching you wax lyrical about that dram. I shared this story with Jon, over at WN, thought I'd share it here as well. We were in St John NB 3 years ago, after helping a friend move from Ontario. There's a whisky pub there called Hopscotch. They have a ridiculous number of bottles to choose from and after going through their extensive list, I settled on the Springbank 12 Cask Strength. In 2021 it was one of the least expensive on their menu and, like you, I'd never had an opportunity to try any of the Springbank range, having missed out here when it was actually available. Long story short...I spent over 2 hours savouring that wee glass of magic amber potion. The group of VERY patient friends I was with likely thought me nuts. Maybe so, but even at that time it was becoming evident this was a product which would be difficult, if not downright impossible, to get my hands on in the future. That is the only dram of Springbank I've ever had the chance to try. I do have a regular Longrow and a Hazelburn 10 on the shelf, the Hazelburn as yet unopened. The Longrow is lovely, as is the double distilled Hazelburn (have had sips of both the 10 and the 15). Honestly, I haven't had a Campbeltown whisky yet that I haven't found to be exceptional. Kilkerran is excellent. I'll take any Glen Scotia I can find. A pandemic run to Ancaster got me a Glen Scotia Victoriana, which is probably the top favourite in my collection. Talk about industrial, it's a mechanic's shop in a bottle, in the very best of ways! I'm not counting that long ago SB 12 CS, tasted far from home with wonderful friends. Don't think anything will surpass that. Thanks for sharing your first foray into the delights of this extraordinary distillery. Marian 🇨🇦
Great story Marian, thanks for sharing. I must admit, after I finished this video, I went and sat on the deck and enjoyed another dram of SB10 for far too long. I am still floored by it being as transformative as it is. Here’s hoping I get some more opportunities to try some more expressions. Cheers.
I enjoyed watching you enjoy that SB10. In those long years between finding Springbank on our local liquor store shelves, I've been quite happy to "make do" with Kilkerran and Glen Scotia.
Thanks Chuck for the comment. I have yet to try or find any other Campbeltown scotches in my local LCBO but am looking forward to seeking them out! Cheers sir.
Good review! The last time it was at the LCBO it was $66, that tells you how long it has been since those clowns brought it in. SB 10 should not be a lottery bottle.
Wow Peter that must have been some time ago for sure. Definitely wish the SB 10 was more accessible for others because let I said, it’s really good! Cheers.
@@SeawayWhiskyWire Paid $120 USD last week.
I have a fairly decent bourbon selection, but only a couple of regular go-to's. Four Roses Single Barrel, Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, Wild Turkey 101 and the Rare Breed. Seem to reach right on past the rest, as often as not. This Yellowstone Toasted Staves might be another possibility though. Sounds pretty darned good, from what you're getting here. And by the way, I'd pay good money to hear you try to say this title, in it's entirety, fast three times... 😂 Cheers Ty, and enjoy the rest of the long weekend! 🥃🥃
Thanks Marian! Trust me, you have no idea how many takes it took me…lol. That being said, it’s was a very enjoyable bourbon that will hopefully make it into the Ontario market someday soon. Thanks for the list of “go tos” I will need to check these out for sure! Cheers to the long weekend.
Sounds nice! Awesome video!! 🙂
Thanks Christine. Appreciate the comment and glad you are enjoying the videos! Cheers
@@SeawayWhiskyWire Always!! Awesome work!! 🙂
Saw it. Bought it. Love this whisky. Would say 'yes' to the cask strength...IF it ever shows up and is at a reasonable price. That said, I struggle to find the peat. Unburnt cigar or pipe tobacco definitely, but zero on the smoke. Don't care though, I'm gonna enjoy the rest of this bottle! Cheers Ty 🥃🥃 Marian 🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing Marian. I managed to pick up a bottle of the CS in Que for about $107. Will have my review coming out but must admit I have not spent much time with as of yet. I remember it being good and very transformational with the addition of water. Maybe I’ll resist it this long weekend…cheers.
Too... many... whisk(e)ys...!!! These both sound fantastic, in completely different ways. New to me as well, but with literally hundreds of distillers popping up all over the globe, I'm hardly surprised. No one could possibly keep up with the current tsunami. Wonder when it will finally reach critical mass...rather like my own whisky collection has managed to do! 🤨 Cheers Ty...and here's to diversity 🥃🥃 Marian 🇨🇦
Cheers to that Marian. I really need to start killing some bottles to make room lol. Just picked up a bottle of the Gretzky Signature Rye while up in Niagara this week. The collection continues to GROW! Have a great week Marian! Cheers and thanks for the comment.
Had them both. I like the Senator much better…
Thanks for the comment Mike. I was impressed with both expressions. The Representative just struck me the day of recording. The Senator opens up with just a touch of water too. Thanks again and cheers.
@@SeawayWhiskyWire but I have to admit I’m more of a Rye guy as well… just felt like the bourbon was good but you can get 4 year old bourbon cheaper and lots of options
@@mikemelichar9362 this is true Mike. I do enjoy Rye just has to be the right day. Cheers mate.
Love it
Love those glasses
They are awesome.
I have not even heard of them. Very cool to hear about a new distiller. DC Collection? Very interesting take. I hope I can try both one day, your pick sounded great, but I'm always up for a spice bomb! Cheers.
These are all over Alberta Jon, not cheap but maybe on sale here and there. Knowing your tastes, the Rye is the star here, the Bourbon is the same as every other 6 year MGP. If you have had the Prideful Goat Rye or Bourbon, they are pretty much the same.
@@peterwhite507 Well, I am losing my eye sight as I age. I'll need to open them up a bit and find these. Thanks for the correction Peter!
Definitely worth the adventure Jon.
I think the 15yr old is 46% and a decent price, I believe.
Thanks for the comment and the tip. I’ll definitely check it out. Cheers
I remember trying Glen Moray 12 (or maybe the 10) for the first time about 6 years ago, expecting it to be the equivalent of McClelland's offerings. I was pleasantly surprised by it. Like you, I felt it would be a decent 😮introduction to single malts at good price. I am, however, very fond of their 18yo Elgin Heritage. It is one of the few "bargain" 18 year olds still available. Not exciting perhaps, but very tasty and well balanced.
Thanks for the comment Chuck. I have heard good things about the 18 also as well as some interesting cask finishes. While I am not at all rushing out to pick them up, I wouldn’t pass them up in the wild at a reasonable price. Cheers.
Great review. Won't be picking this up, but very much enjoy hearing about it from your perspective. Saw that Springbank behind you. Now I can't UNSEE it! Where the heck...? Not one iota jealous. Oh no, not I. 😶 Happy Saturday, Ty 🥃🥃 "m"e 🇨🇦
Thanks for the comment Marian! lol. I managed to secure that Springbank 10 a few weeks age. Stay tuned. Cheers.
Wondering if you found this one at the SAQ...haven't seen it here, that I can recall.
Yes. I found it at the SAQ
I have always passed on Glen Moray. But might pick one up now.
Definitely as good as the other big boys but about $10-15 less. Decent product in my option. Thanks for the comment Shaman! Cheers
Sherry and peat, when done well, is wonderful. Haven't had any of this series, only have the B10 and B15 on the shelf...as yet unopened. Probably won't get to them till the fall. Guessing they're going to be good backyard fire drams. Cheers Tyler 🥃🥃 Marian 🇨🇦
Thanks for the comment Marian, the Peat Smoke Sherry is wonderful and under $100 which is wild! I can’t wait to grab a bottle and get working through it. You know me, I love my Sherry. Cheers and enjoy your weekend
We have a huge patch of mojito mint as well. Going to have to throw one of these together some time soon, I love mojitos. Pretty sure I have all the ingredients around, but I've never made one at home. No idea why the heck not! Thanks for the recipe... Just back from a fabulous escape to The Bruce, catching up on back vids. Cheers Tyler... "m"e 🇨🇦
The mojito is a fav of mine too especially during the humid Ontario summers!
Love this scotch!!
Thanks Christine, this was the first Islay that I ever purchased. I always enjoy a dram of Wee Beastie! Cheers!
@@SeawayWhiskyWire Damn delicious!!
Benromach does beautiful whisky and their contrasts range are hidden gems with good abv, solid distilling and great cask plays. I think the real winner of this challenge is you my firend 😃 Cheers!
Lol. Couldn't agree more! The Peat Smoke Sherry is wonderful and is definitely in my future purchases. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
This is a decent deal for the price, especially when (as you indicated) many of the Arran finishes are far more expensive. Not sweet either, slightly drier on the palate. Have found that pine note in Arran more than once, in different expressions. Personally, I quite enjoy it. Goes great with haggis, or a Scotch egg, so definitely appropriate for Burn's Night celebrations. "Today's rain is tomorrow's whisky"! Cheers, to the budget dram...🥃🥃 Marian 🇨🇦
Thanks for your comment Marian! Definitely a great budget entry into Arran and a nice budget option. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
6 or 7 years ago, Benromach did an exclusive release for the SAQ from a single ex-bourbon cask, cask strength at 59.4%, and heavily peated. That still stands among my top 10 favourite whiskies from the last ten years. I always have a couple of different expressions from Benromach on my shelves. Another good review!
Thanks for sharing and the kind words Chuck! Benromach is one that I never saw much of in the LCBO, but after this tasting event put on by SOS I am going to be grabbing some from out west. Their cask strength releases all impressed me especially the sherry hogshead ones. Cheers sir!
Have both of these bottles, Benromach is becoming one of my favorite distilleries.
Thanks for the comment Peter. Both are great and very reasonably priced! The Peat Smoke Sherry is a definite buy for me in the future! Cheers!
You nailed this one! (By that, I mean, "my thoughts, exactly!" 😉) It's not a complicated whisky, but it's a good intro to single malts (imo, more so than entry-level Glenfiddichs or Glenlivets, and, to me, more interesting than Glenmorangie 10 - all of which are at least $10 more expensive than the Robert Burns). I love the Deanston Virgin Oak, too (a great intro to the Deanston line, but also what I'd recommend to a bourbon drinker wanting to try a budget single malt.)🥃
Thanks for the comment Chuck. I am a fan of both this and the Deanston VO. I got one more bottle to review next week in the the budget dram series, this one may be unexpected. Cheers sir.
Cheers!
I love most Deanstons but this is not one of them. I find this one a bit too spicy and harsh for my palate. I visited the distillery back in March and had a fantastic time. If you like this, there are 2 more versions of this one around 55%abv and one cask strength a bit higher. Cheers Tyler 🥃
Thank you for the comment. I have heard about the cask strength version of the VO. Sadly it's not available in my area but have heard some good things about it. I am excited to try more from Deanston in the future. Cheers!
