http://www.practicalwhisky.net/Brian's Weekly Reviews of Practically Priced Whiskies.en-usMon, 20 April 2009 09:00:00 GMTtirdun@yahoo.comtirdun@yahoo.comhttp://www.practicalwhisky.net/graphics/pw_rss.pnghttp://www.practicalwhisky.net/whisky.php?show=whisky&id=391 Pig's Nose was supposed to be a complimentary whisky to Sheep Dip by some sources. It advertises being a smooth as a pig's nose. I'm not sure who thought this was advertising genius, but I will admit this is acceptably smooth for a blend.Mon, 8 March 2010 12:00:01 GMThttp://www.practicalwhisky.net/whisky.php?show=whisky&id=390 As of this tasting, Canadian Mist's older Orange Label version has my least favorite Canadian Whisky of all time, sitting at the very bottom of my overall taste list for four solid years. Now, thanks to my new label = new review rule, I get to drink it again. Yikes. The fact that I picked this up as a one-buck mini is small comfort, I'm subjecting you to another dreary review of this repackaged horror. Because of that, I'm tossing this in on a Friday instead of the normal weekly review. I simply cannot imagine that this is anything but a new label someone realized that mist isn't orange, I guess of junk whisky. Sorry, but this stuff was miserable last time and if anyone at Canadian Mist reads this, I hate your whisky. You'll just have to console yourself by watching those truckloads of Canadian Dollars backing up to your headquarters.Fri, 5 March 2010 12:00:01 GMThttp://www.practicalwhisky.net/whisky.php?show=whisky&id=389 Back when I purchased the other 12YO Grouse I ran into a bit of a holdup at the register because the barcode didn't scan and it didn't match the number on the wall. That card was advertising today's subject: the not-so golden version while I was holding the Gold Reserve. So, is this just a repackaging? A replacement? The replaced? Some oddball sibling from another market? Luckily, I've saved a small vial of the old 12, mostly because I hoped one day I'd track down a 12 without the Gold suffix and could properly compare them.Mon, 1 March 2010 12:00:01 GMThttp://www.practicalwhisky.net/whisky.php?show=whisky&id=388 My brother's contribution to the holiday festivities, this follows the horrible prior Ledaig and improves its score... slightly. This was a fascinating bottle because the slightly peated flavor gives it a world of interesting flavors, sadly they aren't all -good- flavors.Mon, 22 February 2010 12:00:01 GMT
