Widow Jane Aged 10 Years Blend of Straight Bourbons: $106.45
What you can Expect: Every once in a while, you go out on a limb. Spend over a hundred bucks on a Bourbon from New York State, who would have thought. Think of a very, very smooth whiskey, maybe a fine Canadian Crown Royal and up the ante and you have Widow Jane. A...

$70.10 – Blanton’s The Original Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

Woodford Reserve – Kentucky Straight Bourbon
It was love at first sip! How appropriate to be introduced to Woody after coming off the prestigious Dye Course at French Lick Resort. Every foursome that comes off the Dye Course is presented with a beautiful metal container, with images of the course on it. ...
$72.95 – Double Oaked Woodford Reserve
Of course I try to get mine at the Duty Free at about $40.00 US. All of the yummy flavours from above but with a twice barrelled process just makes it richer, smoother and even more flavourful. Enjoyed my regular Woody and would not hesitate to have it again but if...

Intense dep red in color, solid red and black fruits, full bodied with dense aromas. Ideal accompaniment to deserts. Ours just happened to be an ice cream birthday cake of chocolate hazelnut, oreo cookie. More please.
$22.95 – Fonseca Porto 2011
This is the best follow up to a dinner with some good solid reds. No hints of vanilla or hazelnut that you find in Tawny’s and Ruby’s. Just a concentration of richness of the best bottle you had that night. This is why I love Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) over the...
$16.95 – Lustau Solera Reserva Dry Amontillado Los Arcos
Here’s one that will be unfamiliar to most. A fantastic dry non-vintage style of sherry that’s got piles of depth to it. Years of its initial aging process has imparted notes of yeast, roasted almonds, hazelnuts, caramel and orange rind to this amber 18.5% alc....
$34.50 – Crown Royal Black, 750 mL – Canada
What do I think: For the longest time I had heard the phrase “once you go black you never go back.” Finally I know what they means. Regular Crown Royal is pretty damn good for any whiskey drinker. Black just raises the bar another notch! What the Experts say:...
$28.75 – Forty Creek Whisky – Premium Barrel Select
Don’t ask me why, but if someone asked me if I would buy some Forty Creek Whisky out of Grimsby, Ontario I would likely say “highly unlikely.” Shame on me! This was a gift and was certainly a pleasant surprise for a guy who loves his Crown Royal and Woodford Reserve...
