The Glenlivet 12y with Dan & Ryan
The Glenlivet. Another fairly glaring absence from our testing roles, finally remedied! The Glenlivet is an elder, storied distillery. I would tell you more about it but I can’t type […]
Glenmorangie 12y Lasanta with Dan
Okay. Last of the Glenmorangies. Pretty sick of typing Glenmorangie. Only 5 minutes left to get this post up so here goes. Lasanta aged in sherry casks. Which means I […]
Glenmorangie 12y Nectar d’Or with Dan
The next sampler out of the Glenmorangie Discovery Pack is the 12y Nectar d’Or, aged in Sauternes casks. What is Sauternes? you might ask. Totally legit, so did I. Sauternes […]
Glenmorangie 12y Quinta Ruban with Dan
There’s only so much you can write about one scotch distiller and I feel like I’ve covered anything worth mentioning in the last two posts, so instead I thought I’d […]
Glenmorangie 10y Original with Dan
The first bottle out of the Discovery Pack is the big bottle of Glenmorangie 10y. Since the three sample bottles are all based on this scotch aged an additional 2 […]
Glenmorangie Discovery Pack
This was a great get. For the cost of a bottle of Glenmorangie Original 10y, you get a bottle of Glenmorangie Original 10y, with three other scotches to try, each […]
Bruichladdich 12y 2nd Edition
Just a quick review of a surprise scotch I wasn’t expecting to get to try! Had a great dinner with some friends and after some lovely seafood and salad, the […]
Glenfiddich 12y with Dan & Ryan
This is a bit of a finally for me. I’ve had about four bottles of this and haven’t gotten around to writing a review. It’s like going to a sci […]
Penderyn Single Malt Peated Welsh Whisky with Dan
Our first Welsh whisky! Penderyn offers a number of different spirits, and their whisky line is pretty complete with some award winning wine-cask aged whiskies. This particular bottle was a […]
Caol Ila 12y with Dan
The unpronounceable Caol Ila (allegedly either ‘cool eye-la’ or ‘cull eela’ depending where you look) is another Malts.com brand, the web presence that covers Talisker, Dalwhinnie, Oban, Lagavulin and a […]
Mackmyra First Edition with Dan & Ryan
Still whisky, wrong country. Mackmyra is from Sweden, a country I assumed only drank vodka and snow melt, but what do I know. As we can tell from the spelling, […]
Bowmore 18y with Ryan
Last of the wee Bowmores. For reference, 50ml is enough for two tasters or one actual drink. Keep that in mind if you’re thinking of buying the Bowmore Collection – […]
Bowmore 15y Darkest with Ryan
First of the micro reviews. Not that they’re shorter (they really couldn’t be, I’m phoning this shit in pretty hard already), they’re just reviews of tiny bottles of Bowmore that […]
The Bowmore Collection
Fun in bite sized form. Picked up this kit from Bowmore a few months ago and am finally getting around to reviewing it. As you can see, this Collection includes […]
Bowmore Surf with Dan, Goran, Ryan & Val
Bowmore is one of my favourite scotches. Peaty and complicated, even the budget 12y tastes amazing given the price on the bottle. The Bowmore Surf is allegedly not available in […]
Amrut Fusion
As you already know, whisky is far from a simply Scottish phenomenon. Ireland has its own whiskey, from a different methodology and a different tradition. North American whiskies like bourbon, […]
Glen Breton 10y with Dan, Ryan & Goran
This is the second bottle from Glen Breton we’ve had; you’ll remember the 17y Ice Wine Cask finish we reviewed. That was a little heavy handed, as I’m finding most […]
Bruichladdich Port Charlotte Peat Project with The Dan
Bruichladdich is a big brand, consisting of many sub-divisions of brands and sub-brands. The Peat Project is the non-age specific vintage blend of a single malt of the Port Charlotte […]
Edradour Straight from the Cask 10y Chateauneuf du Pape Cask Finish with The Dan
So, back to scotch, at least for the moment. Picked up this mouthful, both in name and taste, while visiting family in British Columbia (got to try Glenlivet 18y as […]
Bushmills 16y with The Dan
For all that this site is called iscotch, I do love me some fine Irish whiskey. And this is some fine Irish whiskey. Bushmills is pretty much always good. Previously […]
Cragganmore 12y with Jono & Vanni
I had tried the Cragganmore previously on a drinking night with NG, but I lost my notes in a scuffle later that evening. It came as part of the Classic […]
Classic Malts Strong Collection
Picked up the Classic Malts (the Malts.com people) Strong Collection, featuring wee bottles of Cragganmore 12y, Talisker 10y and Lagavulin 16y. I’ve reviewed the Talisker previously, but reviews for the […]
Jura Prophecy with The Dan
This is a big hitter. Probably one of the most robust scotches I’ve tasted so far that remains drinkable. Hands down, we have nothing but good things to say about […]
Please add gallery images!
Jura Collection
Replaced the Superstition and picked up the Origin 10y and Prophecy at the same time. They look pretty good together.
