Tried some good whiskeys and wow
Two years ago when I turned 18 I tried whiskey as my first spirit brand JpWisers deluxe and I think I tried a vanilla one of the same brand as a second try. Didnt really like either of them and wasn’t a fan of alcohol in general
Two years later after finishing a culinary arts program which involved a class on spirits and wine I thought yeah that’s cool alcohol is a moneymaker in the industry
I get home after that program and I just go to work doing research on alcohols and found myself trying 3 different whiskeys
Lot 40 100% rye
John sleeman traditional straight
Bear face wilderness series 03
I bought the bottles a bit pricier but after trying each one of them giving them a good smell trying them by themselves and mixing them in an old fashioned they’re incredible. The smells I get from these whiskeys are amazing and I can just imagine how I can take advantage of these aromas in my recipes.
The rye whiskey was definitely a lot stronger and feels like something you’d need time to adjust too but I can tell it’s a very good whiskey
Comparing it to my first whiskey and my previous spirit of choice (Appleton estate Jamaican rum) is light and day
I’m excited to try other quality Canadian whiskeys like the Alberta premium cask strength which through a bit of research is considered one of the best whiskeys in Canada so I’ll be excited to try that (with a small splash of water of course)
