    Angel’s Envy Bourbon: Not Quite Heavenly Enough For Me 

    Here’s the thing with bourbon — it’s not scotch. Wild revelation, I know. But aside from the grain, barrels, country of origin, etc. bourbon has always been a (generally) more affordable spirit. Unless you’re talking about Angel’s Envy, of which I tried the Port Finish….

    What Happens When You Age Wine? Comparing 2 Reviews of the Same Wine 8 Years Apart 

    Take a trip back in time with me. All the way to the hyper distant world of 2014. My then-girlfriend (now wife) and I had just come back from a 5 month soujourn in South East Asia, and my parents (presumably grateful their feckless son…

    Fitness beer: Has craft finally jumped the shark? 

    Ok, I’m willing to admit it. Craft beer is a little goofy, usually in a fantastic way. I’ve seen just about every variation hop pun, fruit cocktail sour, 15% ABV hyper stout, and some of the wildest looking branding a marketing department could conceive of…

    Becoming a Whisky Drinker: A Beginner’s Guide to Single Malt Scotch 

    For those who are not whisky drinkers, the world of whisky can seem like a minefield with so many different types to explore. From blended, rye and bourbon to Canadian, Irish, and scotch, the variety of whiskies available can seem overwhelming especially if you’re a…

    Drinking in Emirates First Class: What to expect 

    Two years. 14 credit cards. Hundreds of thousands of Alaskan Airlines points. That’s what it takes to fly from Toronto to Dubai in first class on Emirates, if you’re not amongst the “what could a loaf of bread possibly cost? $50?” crowd. But with Covid…

    Krug Grand Cuvée Champagne: Joining the Cult of Krug 

    The first time I ever heard of Krug Champagne was in novelist and wine writer Jay McInerney’s collection of wine essays Bacchus and Me. In an essay on Krug, McInerney shares an account of a man at an open champagne bar asking for another glass…

    Ice Cold Beer — What More Needs to be Said? 

    Ice! Cold! Beeeeeeeer! Long time Jays fans will fondly remember these words being bellowed out by The Beer Guy (Wayne McMahon) at the Skydome up until 2008, signaling to them that a frothy pint of remarkably flavourless and REMARKABLY expensive beer was nearby. But the…

    Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve Is More of the Knob You Love 

    My love of Knob Creek 9 is deep. It’s a high(er) proof bourbon, with an age statement, at an affordable price. All that and it tastes great — what’s not to love? Well if your main problem with Knob Creek 9 was that at 50%…

    Cave Spring Pinot Gris is a More than an Alright White 

    Quietly, without a great deal of fanfare, inexpensive Ontario wines have been getting really quite good. The majority of them are still only available from the vineyards directly (which is why I make routine pilgrimages to Prince Edward County) but more than a few are…

    Octopus Wants to Fight IPA: An Overdue Ode to the Octopus 

    Sometimes it occurs to me that there’s been a drink I’ve been recommending for years, consume regularly, am always thrilled to find on a menu (you remember, when you could order things in bars) but haven’t officially sung its praises on Sublime Imbibing. Octopus Wants to Fight…
