Here is what Gentleman Pursuits recommends: Get yourself a lovely dram, sit down with some music and taste your glass of whisky along with our reviews. Read and taste at the same time.
I am a student currently studying in Vancouver, Canada. As an ‘acting Canadian’, it is my job to try as many Canadian whiskeys as possible before I get ‘deported’. Last week, on a rare occasion, I actually remembered to order the Lot 40 Rye whiskey at a bar, so let’s get straight to the tasting of it. Findings in Lot …
It has been so long since the last whisky review. Truth be told, as a student, I face the lack of fund to buy whisky regularly, so most of the time I’ll just hop into a bar, try a dram or two and write down my thoughts. Recently, as the COVID situation sort of alleviates, I’ve decided to treat myself …
My first ever glass of whisky was, as some of you may have known, the Hibiki 21. As I get deeper into the world of whisky, I understand that there are Japanese and Scotch, rye and single malt, blah blah blah… But there is this one green, emerald looking bottle that always catches my attention but I have just never …
This is the second bottle of whisky I’ve had since the start of quarantine, the stock is running low but it will not affect my mood to write you guys a ‘Gentleman’s Review’! Introducing, Tomatin 12 Bourbon and Sherry cask. Tomatin started in 1897 but some evidence point towards the 1700s! Guess we will never know for sure, but John …
I often tell people sometimes it is not about the whiskey you are enjoying, it is about who you are sharing the experience with. Yesterday, a fellow whiskey lover brought over some of his collections, we sat down and had a tiny tasting session. With the right person, everything is going to taste better, and the Alberta Premium cask strength …
The COVID-19 is a nightmare to whisky lovers like me because the only time I get to taste whisky is when I go to bars, I lack the money for a whole bottle (sad… I know). So, what now? Don’t worry guys, I’ve written down notes for a lot of the whiskies I’ve tasted before, so reviews ARE A GO! …
I don’t know why I have not gotten to this whisky sooner. Monkey Shoulder should have been my first 10 whisky reviews as it is such a SENSATIONAL whisky. Not sure about others but Monkey Shoulder is definitely my top recommendations for beginners looking to get into whisky. A Gentleman’s Take To give a general idea of what the whisky …
Please don’t laugh at me when I say the only reason I chose to try this is because of the name Glen Scotia. It sounds cool. But hey, as Michael Fassbender said in the movie ‘Inglorious Basterds’, “damn good stuff, sir.” Findings in Glen Scotia 15 Year Old Well, well, well, what do we have here? Glen Scotia is not …
It is time that we touch on this topic. Often times, we talk about whiskies but the term ‘whisky’ is really vague itself, it is an umbrella term. So, what exactly are under this umbrella? How many different types of whisky are there? Let’s find out. Scotch Whisky Perhaps ‘the most commonly drank whisky in the world’ title belongs to …
This White Walker is a special one. Who in their right mind would put a bottle of whisky in the freezer? Actually, the bottle instructed us to do so, let’s take a look. A Gentleman’s Take Normally, Johnnie Walker wouldn’t be my go-to, my past experience with it just, wasn’t as good. However, one day my friend brought a bunch …
