Unlike Lot 40 and even AP’s sister brand, Canadian Club, this Calgary-based whisky producer has been pretty low-key over the past decade. For those of you who are not too familiar with the brand, you’ll … Continue reading Review: Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye & Alberta Premium 20 Years Old

I think the wrapping and having the recipient tear open … Continue reading Holiday Gift Guide 2018 – Gifts for Enthusiasts
