Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey with Dan, Ryan & Goran
Continued attempts by team iScotch to find a rye we can actually get behind – Dan is probably our most rye-positive member while Ryan ironically insists no good rye exists. […]
Connemara Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey with Dan & Ryan

BattleScotch! Baker’s 7y v Knob Creek 9y with Dan & Ryan
Recently, we BattleScotch!ed some shitty bourbons. That was shitty. This was not shitty. This was the GOOD bourbon BattleScotch! Baker’s 7y v Knob Creek 9y, both part of the Small […]
Hiram Walker Special Old Rye Whisky with Dan & Ryan
Very very short review here. This isn’t worth your time so we won’t spend much of ours on it either. Hiram Walker launched Canadian Club whiskey, among others, but weirdly […]
Aberfeldy 12y with Dan, Ryan & Goran
Just a quick wee bonus review to wrap up our great night at the Highlander Pub. Once we crashed through all The Glenrothes, we wanted a little sipper to taste […]

Alberta Springs 10y Rye with Dan, Ryan & Alex
Back in Canada. Well, Alberta. But purchased in western and consumed in eastern Ontario. Enough geography, what is this, Rand McFrickin’ally? 4 and a half years now I’ve been waiting […]
Jim Beam Devil’s Cut with Krystal, Dan, Ryan, Alex & Eddie
On the eve of the good day, we tried a bad bourbon. A bad bourbon with very good marketing. If the label and media is to be believed, there are […]
Golden Wedding Whisky At Dan & Laura’s Wedding
What a day! Congrats to our regular contributors Dan & Laura on their special day. Where’s the review, you ask? Well, this is going to get subjective. Objectively, you could […]
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 #6 – Ballantine’s Finest with Ashley, Dan, Bowick, Ryan, Jared & Goran
SCOTCHPARTY BLEND WOOOO It was getting late, but that’s what’s in the notes. Ballantine’s has an under-cited wiki page that goes on at length about its legacy and quality and […]
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 […]
ScotchParty Review #3 – BattleScotch! The Glendronach 12y Original v The Glenrothes Select Reserve with Jared, Ashley, Alex, Goran, Ryan, Dan & Bowick
BATTLESCOTCH AT A SCOTCHPARTY. THE BATTLE OF THE GLENS. Sorry for the shouting. We pitted The Glendronach 12y Original against The Glenrothes Select Reserve literally because they both have Glen […]
