Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye with Matt & Dan
Yes, it’s *that* whisky! “Greatest whisky in the wold” some people have quoted, incorrectly. “Voted best!” others have also misspoken. Basically, what you’ve heard about this bottle of whisky […]
Steel & Oak Dark Lager with Dan
Aw yeah, another hand-smuggled interprovincial beer delivery from Devin in BC! Always appreciated, the beer gift is. We’ve had a Steel & Oak before, their smoked Hefeweizen, which was […]
Glenfiddich 15y Solera with Dan
Another Glenfiddich! Not very often we get a new one of these core brands. Usually because they’re not cheap OR very exciting, really. The problem with a long standing, consistent […]
Round 2! Ardbeg 10y with Dan
Just a quick one this week, loyal readers! It’s been a slog of a week, verily, and while I will be enjoying a whisky in very short order, this isn’t […]
Islay Mist Peated Reserve with Steve, Goran, Matt, Ryan, Dan & Julia
Peat party for particular palates! We’ve got our second Islay Mist, this time their Peated Reserve. Islay Mist has done well for us in the past as one of the […]
Innis & Gunn Rum Finish with Dan
A quick little review this week, folks, and one that is probably long overdue. Innis & Gunn Rum Finish: once, many years ago, I brushed this aside with an “I […]
Cardhu 12y with Steve, Goran, Julia, Dan & Matt
Welcome to 2016 and THE FUTURE! It’s a leap year and I hear there may even be a new iPhone this year. Marvelous time, this future. What better way to kick […]
Innis & Gunn Bourbon Dark Ale with Dan
Our last post before Christmas, here’s a solid gift tip: The Innis & Gunn Holiday Pack. You get a heavy duty steel bottle opener and four bottles of beer – […]
Bowmore Legend with Steve, Goran, Dan & Matt
Post 301 y’all! Haven’t done back to back articles in a while. Since we’re starting on a new day, with a new theme, I figured we should do a proper single […]
BattleScotch! Tomatin Spanish Sherry 12y v 15y v Oloroso 18y with Dan
BattleScotch! Tomatin Stillmen’s Choice Edition! Aw yeah aw yeah! It wouldn’t be a reasonably priced selection of delicious single malt scotches without us wringing one more post out of it. In the […]
Tomatin Oloroso 18y with Dan
Tomatin Oloroso 18y, the last of the Tomatin Stillmen’s Choice sampler. Next week, we close Tomatin month with the obligatory BattleScotch! At 18y, this is in the old end of […]
Tomatin 15y with Dan
Tomatin 15y! The second review of Tomatin month is their 15y expression. Where the other two are aged in sherry barrels, this bottle is aged in standard scotch whisky barrels […]
Tomatin Spanish Sherry 12y with Dan
Welcome to Tomatin Month at iScotch. What? you say. Is this some kind of sponsorship jam? Nope! Just found this sampler at the liquor store in the Calgary airport and […]
Talisker Storm with Steve, Julia, Goran, Matt, Ryan & Dan
The first of the birthday whisky, Talisker Storm! This is the first of the brand we’ve had in a while, but we’re long-time Talisker fans here. We’ve had the 10y, […]
Innis & Gunn White Oak Wheat Beer with Dan, Goran & Steve
The last of the new Innis & Gunn (for now) is their White Oak Wheat Beer. This is.. well, it’s a wheat beer over white oak, but maybe you figured […]
Dillon’s Rose Gin Batch 11 with Dan & Alex
Dillon’s Rose Gin, a flavoured gin liquor. We’re well out of our wheelhouse with this one. Rose gins aren’t too uncommon, and rose hips show up as one of the […]
Innis & Gunn Limited Edition Highland Ale with Dan, Goran & Steve
Always a good day when a new Innis & Gunn shows up at the LCBO. And as much as we curse the Box Tax, they sure help take a decent […]
P&M 3y Blended Corsican Whisky with Matt, Dan, Brian, Al & Steve
P&M Blended Whisky from Corsica; this puts France on our whisky map! Yay, France! (first time that’s been written in English) This was a fortuitous combination of cheap and novel, […]
Harviestoun Òrach Slie Golden Ale with Dan, Matt, Brian & Al
Harviestoun Òrach Slie Glenfarclas Cask Aged Golden Ale – so many words. Dan & I have had a Harviestoun before, their Ola Dubh. At the time it was advertised as being […]
Evan Williams Extra Aged with Dan, Steve & Alex
Evan Williams Kentucky Straight Bourbon Extra Aged. What is it with bourbons and using their full name? Must be an American thing. There’s another Evan Quentin Williams the fourth or whatever […]
Dead Crow Bourbon Beer with Matt, Dan, Brian & Al
Hat-tip to Colin for pointing me in the direction of Dead Crow Bourbon Beer. Not necessarily a ringing hat-tip, but a good lead nonetheless. Dead Crow Bourbon Beer is a… […]
Gordon Graham’s Black Bottle with Dan, Goran, Steve, Brian & Matt
Steve’s first submission – actually, that’s not true. Steve provided the tiny bottles for the Glengoyne and Old Fettercairn reviews, but he wasn’t around to review… not that there would […]
Preview! Innis & Gunn Bourbon Pale Ale with Dan & Alex
Gotta love Twitter. I saw a promo for the Bourbon Pale Ale from Innis & Gunn’s UK account, so I tagged the Canadian account and asked if there were any […]
BattleScotch Royale! The English Whisky Co with Dan, Goran, Steve, Matt & Brian
You knew it had to happen. We haven’t had a setup for a proper BattleScotch! Royale this good for a while now. Obviously we had to pit the contents of […]
