As you already know, whisky is far from a simply Scottish phenomenon. Ireland has its own whiskey, from a different methodology and a different tradition. North American whiskies like bourbon, […]

I am a huge fan of Innis & Gunn cask -aged beers (minus the rum casked ones, because rum sucks). I came to them after developing my whisky tongue and […]
It recently being St Paddy’s day, you’ll have to put up with one or two more Irish Whiskey reviews. I know Dan is a big fan of the lightness and […]
Brief stop with Canadian Whiskey today. The designation “Canadian Whiskey” is pretty problematic. The manufacturers would like you to equate CW with Rye Whisk(e)y, but you shouldn’t. From Serious Eats: […]
In celebration of St Patty’s day, the patron saint of hamburgers or somesuch, and also in the spirit of completevism (you get to 50 odd reviews and you start wanting […]
This is the second bottle from Glen Breton we’ve had; you’ll remember the 17y Ice Wine Cask finish we reviewed. That was a little heavy handed, as I’m finding most […]
Changing a couple things up for this review. Yes, it’s a gin, and I don’t like gin either. But it’s okay, it’s made by Bruichladdich, the Islay scotchmakers. And, we’ve […]
Bruichladdich is a big brand, consisting of many sub-divisions of brands and sub-brands. The Peat Project is the non-age specific vintage blend of a single malt of the Port Charlotte […]
So, back to scotch, at least for the moment. Picked up this mouthful, both in name and taste, while visiting family in British Columbia (got to try Glenlivet 18y as […]
My buddy and previous guest reviewer Jono brought this back from one of his trips to the States. Dan and I tucked into it and here’s what we thought. smell […]
For all that this site is called iscotch, I do love me some fine Irish whiskey. And this is some fine Irish whiskey. Bushmills is pretty much always good. Previously […]
I have been looking at this bottle for a year or so now, humming and hawing over trying bourbon while I’m still figuring out scotch. Dan and I figured it […]
Man, I cannot get enough of this stuff. Aged in casks of other booze, Innis & Gunn beer takes on a lot of really interesting flavours. I’ve tried four of […]
I had tried the Cragganmore previously on a drinking night with NG, but I lost my notes in a scuffle later that evening. It came as part of the Classic […]
This is a big hitter. Probably one of the most robust scotches I’ve tasted so far that remains drinkable. Hands down, we have nothing but good things to say about […]
So, I could (and will) go into detail about the way this Canadian Whisky tastes, but you should know it’s just terrible. It blends with Canada Dry ginger ale very […]
Wrapping up this foray into Whiskies Irish is a bottle The Dan had set aside for review. This is an Irish Whiskey blend, mixing malt and grain whiskeys, but with […]
This is the second of the Irish Whiskies we bought for St Paddy’s day, delayed by scheduling conflicts with The Dan. But this weekend we managed to get together and […]
I grabbed this and the next bottle of something called “Irish Whiskey” for St Patrick’s day when we threw a little impromptu get together. My work ethic being what it […]
Got this bottle as a going away present from a co-worker when I left my last job. Its the first blended scotch I’ve reviewed, and… its better than I thought […]
Katherine snagged this bottle (I know, right?) on a recent trip home to the ‘Scosh (no one calls it that). We were pretty stoked to try this – one of […]
Yay for surprise scotch presents! Katherine grabbed this for me a few weeks ago so obviously I had to get her help for the review. You may recognize MacAllan as […]
Another bottle to replace. This Jura was one of the first bottles I bought myself – I really liked the story they told on the box, for the most part. […]
I should come clean on this one before I go any further – after Taliskers, Bowmore is my favourite scotch. If you want to drink single malt scotch on a […]
