Dear lord, this is a monster. Cloves, dried fruit and brandy notes. It tastes like I'm glad it's the weekend.

Fascinating to hear global brand ambassador Emma McHarrie tell the story of Kilchoman, the first new distillery on Islay since the 1800s. #whisky #singlemalt #Scotland #islay

This is going to be a delicious night at The Caledonian. A tasting of three expressions of Kilchoman single malt. #whisky #singlemalt #scotch

Bills win. Argos win Grey Cup. And we adopted this little lady from the Humane Society. A damned good weekend. #Argos #CFL #billsmafia #dogsky

Truly honoured and privileged to again be judging the Canadian round of the World Whisky Awards. Some familiar faces, some excellent whiskies! #whisky #whiskey

This Fuller's Vintage Ale is lovely stuff. Demerara, dried fruit, and a dry, lingering finish. Goes damned nicely with two-year old Gouda a friend recently brought back from the Netherlands. #beer #fullers
