• What I’m Drinking: Canadian Sour

  
  — Authority:
  Now and then, something shows up on your doorstep that just makes you shake your head confusedly. Maybe it’s a baby unicorn, maybe it’s a basket of bran muffins, and maybe it’s a bottle of Canadian rye whiskey combined with maple syrup.

• Vieux Carré / Nouveau Carré

  
  — Authority:
  I know, I know. A Vieux Carré is supposed to have Peychaud’s bitters in it. As you can see, it was at the tippy top of my shopping list.

Thus, to pay homage, Ardbeg have created a limited release to commemorate the source ...

• Liquid Pancakes?: Tap 357 Maple Rye Whisky Review

  
  — Authority:
  I ‘ll admit, I’m a sucker for a well marketed or gimmicky brand of anything, especially  when it comes to alcohol. So when I originally heard of and saw the advertisements for Crown Royal Maple Whisky I pretty much mentally crowned it champion of its kind before even tasting it. The results, underwhelming, but ...

  When it comes to reviewing filled chocolates I always go with my first thoughts as the flavour hits me.
