Two Bad Budweisers with NotMike & Dan
Sometimes, when two good things get together, they make one really good thing. This is not that. In any way. At street level, these meh beers aged in meh bourbon barrels made an actively bad […]
Reviews with Dan

We’ve raved about Founder’s products in the past, and we’re raving about this one too: Founder’s Original Thai Pomelo Rye & Ginger. A quick review of another fresh & refreshing bevvie for the Lost Summer, […]
Old Forester 1920 Straight From Kentucky Bourbon with Dan, Steve and Matt
Last summer was the polar opposite of this summer. We were adventuring. We were driving and traveling and going to concerts and eating out and having whiskies journeys all over the country. I had amazing […]
Innis & Gunn Latitude & Longitude 002 Higher Ground Highland Cask Ale with Dan & Goran
Another iterative Innis & Gunn. Apparently we waited too long to post this review, the bottle no longer exists on their website. The second of the Longitude & Latitude series, Higher Ground is a Highland […]
Royal Challenge Indian/Scottish Whisky Blend with Dan
Royal Challenge, and bud it’s a challenge. A challenge to sniff, a challenge to drink and a challenge to understand how it even happened in the first place. Well, culturally, Indians and Scots do mix. […]
Hard Way Cider Company with Dan
Hard Way Cider Company, located halfway between Kingston & Napanee, up the road from McKinnon Brothers Brewing Company (who we’ll have to check out soon). I had seen these guys advertise on Facebook (while I […]
Aberlour 12y with Dan & Goran
Aberlour 12y. We’re gaining familiarity with this distiller, having tried the 10y and the 6y from the Advent calendar. We even pitted one against a McClelland’s way back in the day. So far, we’ve been […]
Founder’s Original Seville Orange Bourbon Sour with Dan & Steve
Founder’s premixed drinks were the find of last summer. Easy as beer but not beer; cold, refreshing, Canadian, great. So as we head into the Summer of Isolation If You’re Not An Idiot, I figured […]
Advent 06: Ardmore 10y Batch 5 with Dan
The sixth tiny bottle from the medium box of big flavours. Pay me to write, you jags! Here we have a hobo’s tear worth of Ardmore 10y, of which is the fifth batch. Is that […]
Advent 05: Aberlour 6y Batch 8 with Dan
The fifth of advent, a 40 full of cheer. Corona got you trapped inside, why not drink a whole box of whisky. What could possibly go wrong? Aberlour is a distillery we don’t get much […]
Collective Arts Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Porter Art Print 2019 with Dan
This year’s Collective Arts print tube is a Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Porter, something a little different. The print is a bird motif from Kait Cooper, check out her stuff and maybe buy something. You can […]
Advent 04: Dufftown 10y Batch 4 with Dan
Advent Number Four! Dufftown, home of Duff Breweries, offers a 10y whisky. I’ve never had a Dufftown before because I didn’t think it was real. It sounds like a fake whisky from a cartoon. What […]
Advent 03: Bunnahabhain 10y Batch 14 with Dan
The third tiny bottle of Christ’s bl- I mean – Christmas Advent Holiday Year Ender Boutique-y Whisky things is the Bunnahabhain 10y Batch 14. I dunno what happened to batches 0-13. Also worth noting there […]
Advent 01: Reservoir Distillery Bourbon 2y Batch 1 with Dan
Loyal readers will remember I picked up the Boutique-Whisky Company’s Whisky Holiday/Advent Calendar and posted about it just before New Year’s. Well, at 24 to get through, we figured we should get started. You’ll see […]
Hochstadter’s Slow & Low Rock & Rye Pre-Mix Cocktail with Dan
Grabbed on a dash back across the border last summer, a tiny little premixed cocktail. Rye whiskey and rock candy, Pennsylvania honey and Florida oranges: Hochstadter’s Slow & Low Rock & Rye rolls a lot […]
Windswept Brewing Company The Wolf of Glen Moray Port Cask Aged Dark Scottish Ale with Dan
A beer in a tube! You know we’re suckers for literally anything in a tube – beers, whiskies, potato chips,.. tennis balls, uh public transit.. etc. Straight from the north.. south.. the south north coast? […]
Tomatin Cù Bòcan with Dan
We have done so many Tomatin – this is number seven – at this point there’s not a lot to say. Tomatin Cù Bòcan – near as I can tell this one translates to something […]
Balvenie 17y DoubleWood with Dan
The Balvenie 17y DoubleWood. This is one of those stop and appreciate whiskies that doesn’t come along very often. This whisky is “change the frame” good. You remember the run of five Johnnies Walker and […]
That Time I Drank 21 Whiskeys With Dan
A recent very excellent birth day present, two tickets to Whiskey Ottawa, thanks Hillary! A massive event with a good 3-400 people and looooots of different whiskeys and whiskies. So much scotch, such tiny glasses. […]
Glenfiddich 19y Age of Discovery with Holly, Trevor, Steve & Dan
After doing a bunch of these reviews (like… a bunch), you can sort of perceive bigger trends. Like how for a bourbon, you need either a year or a cork, and preferably both. How Irish […]
Naked Grouse Blended Scotch with Holly, Trevor & Dan
Another Grouse, this time Naked – The Naked Grouse. Why Naked? Why not, exclaims the website nakedgrouse.com, which doesn’t appear to be part of the Famous Grouse site. In fact this IS a blended grain […]
BattleScotch! Tomatin Second Edition with Dan
BattleScotch! Tomatin Second Edition. Or the TwoMaytin Edition. You know what that means! It means we’re almost done this month & can go back to our regularly scheduled random nonsense. This second edition pitted the […]

Second bottle out of the box, second week of Twomatin – Tomatin 14y Port Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky. We’ve had a lot of Tomatins already so let’s just jump straight to the notes. Here’s […]
