Whiskey Review: Bushmills The Rare Casks 29-Year Pedro Ximénez Cask Finish Irish Whiskey
Introduction Today, we're diving into something truly special: Bushmills “The Rare Casks” 29-Year-Old Pedro Ximénez Cask Finish Irish Whiskey. This bottle is part of Bushmills’ Rare Casks series, and this specific release represents their second offering in that line. Distilled on April 6, 1992, aged 12 years in ex-bourbon barrels, and then transferred to Pedro Ximénez casks for an additional 17 years, it’s bottled at 53% ABV (106 proof). With only 500 bottles available and an MSRP of $750, this is as rare as it gets. Brad and I are eager to break this one down. Last week, we reviewed the Bushmills 30-Year-Old, which set a high bar, but this whiskey has its own unique story to tell. Let’s see how it stacks up. This review is taken from our episode " Mad Max: Fury Road / Bushmills Rare Cask 29-Year Irish Whiskey ." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format. Nose Brad: The nose on this whiskey is incredible. There’s a heavy

Michelin And The Death Of The Wine Guide
It was entirely predictable that Michelin’s new venture into wine would trigger huffy French recriminations. Its Wine Selection Burgundy 2026, launched this month, awarded nine producers the top accolade of three grapes, another 20 vignerons two grapes, and 33 one grape. A further 32 were merely “selected”. Mais putain! They only gave Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux one […]

The New Rules of Luxury Wine
Once upon a time, the path to luxury wine was paved with pedigreed appellations, critic scores, and mailing lists so exclusive they made Château Marmont feel like a Motel 6. Bordeaux First Growths, Grand Cru Burgundies, and $300 Napa Cabernets set the standard for what “luxury” in wine looked like, tasted, and cost. But a […] The post The New Rules of Luxury Wine appeared first on Advinetures.ca .

Welcome to Episode 2675 and Episode 11 of The Art of Wine Storytelling with Ryan Robinson. Episode 11: Between Reality and Imagination: A Metaphor for Wine Growing Landscape. In this episode, Ryan Robinson explores how we tell the story of wine through autochthony, geography, and landscape. We reconsider the meaning of autochthony, explore the local identities shaping Italian wine and their relationship with the wider world, and look at the wine-growing landscape as more than physical space—a place shaped by symbolism, stories, and people. How can we talk about wine more thoughtfully and turn knowledge into meaningful ideas? The future belongs to those who can create compelling, human stories. Whether you’re a seasoned professional, an eager student, or simply a curious wine lover, The Art of Wine Storytelling takes you on a journey that bridges ancient history with modern consumer culture.

Two faces of southern Pinot - new Gris and Noir
Pinot is more than one thing, as I was reminded last week when a friend asked what I'd like to drink when visiting a neighbourhood bar and then duly arrived back with a glass of Pinot Gris. I had wanted a 'Noir' and we swapped it out easily as another friend is a devotee of Gris. Here are two new Pinots from the deep south of New Zealand and the world. Both wines are pretty widely available and very good+ in quality. Worth beating a path to, perhaps especially the 'Gris' because for a grape...
