Saskatoon Sessions: Monkey Shoulder
Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Whisky. Named for an old whiskying injury, apparently. Which makes sense because this was kind of painful to drink. A blended malt means this is a […]

Dewar’s Highlander Honey. Just fucking don’t. Seriously. I will write this whole review, and tell you all about this war crime of a spirit drink, and their process, and their […]
McFadden Spirit Drink with Dan & Ryan
