It's a super interesting dram. I've laid it on a few of our whisky friends without telling them what it is & their reactions were all positive. Gave too many samples out and had to buy a 2nd bottle.

When it’s 9 days after Canada Day, and you’re not in Canada, but you finish a heel of Canadian single malt… 😏

Our May Outturn is out and there are some great bottles (peated single grain, anyone?)! Some are sold out at some stores but generally everything’s still available (and really we’ll priced!). Check smws.ca for deets.

I've just broken the story on Forbes that Scotch whisky cask investment 'firms' Cask 88 and Braeburn Whisky have gone bust.
This is going to be an utter mess for a lot of innocent people who will lose a lot of money.

Drink more sherry! A dinner of tasty tapas in Edinburgh ends with some sherry, which is a great way to get familiar with some of the flavours imparted to whisky from various sherry casks.

More whisky folk joining the party here. Welcome Adam!
Well, I'm going outside of my comfort zone and giving this whole social media thing one last try.
While I was never a heavy user of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter - they were useful tools. But I abandoned ship after I realised how damaging the algorithms can be. This platform seems... less dodgy.

A Caesar made with a Cask Experiment Spirit Drink (can't call it whisky) from @smwscanada.bsky.social instead of vodka? Why, yes! And it's spicy & delicious!
