An official bottle from an indie bottler?
Yup! These Edradour single cask bottles from
Signatory Vintage The Un-Chillfiltered Collection
are always very good or better!
Made for whisky geeks like me!🤓🧐😻🥃
Word of advice: check the ratings and then buy multiples! Review coming soon. 🥃🥃🥃🥃
새해 복 많이 받으세요!

New Year! First dram of 2025. Teeling Single Malt Irish Whiskey! What was or will be your first dram or the new year?
Teeling single malt - 46%, unchillfiltered, natural in colour(I think based on Korean label)
This is now their own distillate (since 2021?) and I think it is better than the formerly sourced liquid.
Bottled October 2021. Should be even more amazing now!
ps - got this for $50 CAD!!

Merry Christmas! Can you guess the mince pies? Paired with this very rich Christmassy ​⁠Glenallachie 15 single malt whisky in its old packaging. I always wanted this bottle & got it for a nice price. Perfect for an after Xmas Eve Mass here in Korea last night.
Hope Whisky Santa is good to you all!
Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃

My last bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label?
Family reunion- 4 generations! - typical Korean family after dinner drink at home - Korean Hwei(Korean style raw fish - don’t call it sashimi!) with Cass, Chamiseul, and a 200ml Black Label for me.
This might be my last bottle of Johnnie Walker black label(unless I find an old bottle...)?Compared to my last bottle(early 2024) this is…80? 85 percent YOUNG grain and very hot. It tastes worse than red label I tried in 2018. I’m very disappointed and I want to ANNOUNCE PUBLICLY that I won’t stand for shrinkflation of whiskies - take the downturn on the chin and grab market share by making it BETTER than before. Black Label, formerly the top of the line Johnnie Walker - is dead. Is whisky dead? Let’s await the strong powerful Phoenix rising from the ashes.
For Koreans reading - reach for Monkey Shoulder or Naked Malt. Dewars 12. Old Castle is better than this…

Still from new Ledaig review! Check it out on YouTube! Rocky likes it! It’s only 1/100 he approves of. Which one? 🧐 https://youtu.be/D1LMNyQrJFY
Elixir Single Malts of Scotland Ledaig 13yo matured in a sherry butt. Plus Ledaig Sinclair Rioja in the review. #🥃😗🎶

Peated malts like these are perfect for winter. Are you a seasonal peathead like me or do you peat reek all 12 months?🤣

🥃🥃🥃🥃

Ledaig. Peated Tobermory. Aficionados’ fave! How is Ledaig Sinclair Series Rioja Finish? What about independent Ledaig like this SMOS 13yo sherry cask mature...

Glencadam Reserva Andalucía: Found a bottle of this fairly cheap in Korea(80 CAD) so adopted it. It’s as good as I remember - no age stmt but 46%, unchillfiltered, and natural colour. YESSSS!!! #술 #위스키 #싱글몰트 #글렌카담 #셰리캐스크 #쉐리위스키 #홈술 #혼술 #위스키위쓸

J&B Rare Blended Scotch Whisky. How much is it for you? Would you try it? Or is it not good enough for you? My thoughts might surprise!⬇️🙀
J&B, purported to be “a blend of forty-two malt and grain whiskies, including single malts Knockando, Auchroisk and Glen Spey” is a $30 CAD Scotch whisky that is available worldwide, and was perhaps a top 5 brand historically but has fell out of favour somewhat and is correctly ranked 9th in sales globally for Scotch whisky overall. 12 and 15 year olds are available in Asia and other “emerging” whisky markets but in Canada all we get is the Rare.
So how is it? I’ve reviewed this in the past, and thought, “not bad!” I tried it at a restaurant years ago and here again at my aunts house. Sweet, a bit of peat, some soft sherry notes of yellow raisins(perhaps the knockando), a salted toffee… some sugar cookie(Glen Spey?) Yes there is a bit of youthful heat but at $30 this is to be expected. The finish is peppery, is that the Auchroisk? Anyway I was pleasantly surprised with this.
Want to turn your $30 Scotch into a $60 scotch? Add a dash of Sherry or Port, or even a sweet dessert wine, and you’ll be amazed!! Happy Long Weekend, Canada!
