BattleScotch! Aberlour 10y v McClelland’s Speyside with Matt
Speyside BattleScotch! The budget conscious McClelland’s Speyside, a line we love, up against the allegedly more prestigious aged Aberlour. Matt’s idea was to pit two known quantity Speysides against each […]
Updated! Jura Origin 10y with Dan & Matt

Tobermory 10y with Dan, Goran, Ryan, Davey & Matt
At long last, another Island scotch. Tobermory is a town and distillery on the Isle of Mull, home to 3000 good people, and a straight up pirate wreck. Defeated Spanish […]

A return to a favourite. Bowmore 12y has long been one of our favourites, one of the few scotches I’ve bought more than once. This particular bottle comes from Goran’s […]
Stalk & Barrel Cask 8 with Dan, Goran, Ryan & Matt
Can’t do a quick business tour of the GTA without stopping in at Still Waters Distillery in Concord/Vaughan. If you check our reviews of their Stalk & Barrel Cask 2 […]
BattleScotch! Islay Mist 8y v McClelland’s Islay with Dan, Ryan & Goran
Hmmm… our first BattleScotch! over the Blend Line? Some people (Goran) loudly protested this particular combatax spiritus because a blend is for blend times and a single malt is for […]
Raise The Macallan with Ryan, Goran & Dan

Deanston Single Malt Scotch with Dan, Ryan, Goran & Bowick
Deanston. Haven’t heard or seen much of this brand since starting this blog, so I decided to grab it when it showed up at the LCBO. We do it so […]
BattleScotch! Glenglassaugh’s Peated v Fledgling XB with Matt & Ryan
BattleScotch! Well, BattleMake, but that sounds like a shit fight. You knew this was coming; we’ve BattleScotched on far less of a similarity in the past. The Peated v Fledgling […]
Glenglassaugh Peated with Dan, Ryan, Goran & Matt
Glenglassaugh number 2, Peated. Can you guess what the next article will be? Not a lot to say this time out that we didn’t say in the last piece, so […]
Glenglassaugh Fledgling XB with Dan, Dave, Ryan & Matt
I know, I know. We’ve tried unaged whisky (aka new make) before, and it hasn’t gone well. Unaged whisky ends up being all of the angry yelling and none of […]
Ardbeg 10y with Matt, Ryan, Dan & Goran
Ardbeg! Gaelic for “little height”, or the sound you make when you stifle that midnight-toe-stub scream. Located on the southern shore of Islay, Ardbeg claims to be the island’s (not […]
Glenfiddich 18y Batch 3088 with Ryan, Matt & Goran
It’s been a while but we’ve come back to Glenfiddich, thanks to my good friend Matt. Last time, we looked at their web presence and were a little underwhelmed with […]
Penderyn Madeira Single Malt Welsh Whisky with Ryan
Alright! The last of the Penderyn sampler from the roving professor – the Madeira! Got my knuckles rapped a bit by the lads at our last tasting. They had checked […]
BattleScotch! Edradour 10y Chateauneuf Du Pape v Highland Park 10y with Goran, Dan & Ryan

BattleScotch! anCnoc 12y v Auchentoshan 12y with Ryan, Goran & Bowick

Connemara Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey with Dan & Ryan
This one has been on the list for a while, good grab on Dan’s part. Connemara‘s claim to fame is being the only peated single malt irish whiskey, which sounds […]
