Glengoyne 18y with Dan, Bowick & Steph

Glynnevan Double Barrelled Rye with Dan, Bowick & Matt M
A new Nova Scotian whisk(e)y (the spelling is inconsistent across their website), I hadn’t heard of Glynnevan before Dan’s friend Matt brought a bottle over. The Glynnevan Double Barrelled Rye […]

BattleScotch! Glenfarclas with Dan & Bowick
Well, you knew this was going to happen, of course. It’s not a brand sampler without a BattleScotch to tell you which is worth your time or money. Always a […]
Glenfarclas 12y with Dan & Bowick
Alright, the last of the Glenfarclii, the 12y. We can jump right to the notes, here’s what we thought: nose Dan – old banana, salty baked bread, fresh fudge […]
Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength with Dan & Bowick
Second out the box of Glenfarclas it’s the 105! Named after something, I’m sure, but as we said last time the website is a little light on information. They suggest […]
Glenfarclas 10y with Dan & Bowick
Aw yiss, Glenfarclas at last. We’ve seen Glenfarclas 10y on the shelves for a while, and I was tantalizingly close to getting a bottle through Secret Santa one year. I […]

Poit Dhubh 8y Blended Scotch with Dan, Goran, Ryan & Bowick

Hayman’s Slow Gin with Dan, Bowick & Laura
I know. It’s not scotch, or even whisky or whiskey, or even FROM a whisky brand, or from my own country. Why are we reviewing a sloe gin? Well, many […]
ScotchParty Review #7 – The Famous Grouse with Dan, Jared & Bowick
So… yeah.. late at night. Not our best work. We had a few bail-outs and quitters. But to be fair they may have already been asleep. Shameful to say that […]
ScotchParty Review #6 – Ballantine’s Finest with Ashley, Dan, Bowick, Ryan, Jared & Goran

ScotchParty Review #5 – McClelland’s Highland with Dan, Ryan, Goran, Ashley, Jared & Bowick
The fifth ScotchParty Review, the third McClelland’s. This time we’re trying out their Highlands bottling. And it seems to hold up to their “reasonable scotch at a reasonable price” reputation. […]
ScotchParty Review #4 – Auchentoshan 12y with Dan, Goran, Ryan, Ashley, Jared & Bowick
Sounds German, tastes Scottish. A quick Google for “etymology auchentoshan” reveals it’s just very old Gaelic from a branch that hasn’t made its way into common Scots English. Apparently this […]
