Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye

Honestly, I have had a bottle of this rye and it is the real deal. Big spice, loads of pepper and clove, but smooth enough to sip on its own. Makes a cracking Manhattan too. Good value for what you pay.

When I cannot find it locally, I sometimes grab a bottle online from McGrocer along with my tea and biscuits. The shipping stings a bit, I will admit. But worth it for a decent pour.

If you are a rye fan, this one will not let you down. Cheers.

Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey

I have had a bottle of this Glendalough Double Barrel, and it is a lovely drop. Much richer than your standard Irish whiskey. You really get that bourbon cask vanilla and a nice hit of sherry sweetness. Thick mouthfeel, almost chewy. Dangerous stuff, honestly.

Could not find it in my local off licence, so I ended up ordering a bottle from McGrocer along with my usual bits. Turned up in a week, well packaged. Worth the hunt if you like something with a bit of weight to it. Good for sipping or stirring into an old fashioned. Cheers.
