BattleScotch! Highland Park stablemates 10y and 12y duke it out in the opposite of last BattleScotch’s Terrible Bourbon-Off event! Because we had to wash that taste out of our mouths […]
BattleScotch! The Budget Bourbon Edition. We have no one’s favourite Jim Beam Devil’s Cut battling fellow delinquent Labrot & Graham Woodford Reserve Distiller’s Select. It’s like listening to your neighbors […]
Celebration whisky is always good. Dan & Laura gave Ryan this bottle to say thanks for Being the MC at their wedding reception. He did a good job, and a […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Here we go again! BattlesScotch gonna leave you BattleScortched (patent pending) with all the hot Bushmills on Bushmills action up in here! Something different this time: introducing the Overall Impression […]
So… yeah.. late at night. Not our best work. We had a few bail-outs and quitters. But to be fair they may have already been asleep. Shameful to say that […]
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 […]
Spending 36 on the beach with the dog. Steph kindly handed me this bottle on my way west and I’ve had a fair portion watching the dog chase beach rabbits. […]
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. […]
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 […]
The last of the new scotch, the Lagavulin is also the last entry in the Classic Malts Strong Collection and it definitely lives up to its name. neat Jono – […]
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 […]
Review Number 2 from The Night Of Many Whiskies. If you look closely in the photo to the left there’s a see-thru gun and a pump bottle of Purel on […]
So, we had a little get-together. Everyone brought a bottle. We did our level best to properly review all of them. Seriously, we really really tried. A part of the […]
It’s pronounced a-nock. Steph picked this up for me in Montreal, and it’s one that’s been on the to-try list for a while. We also got to verify the consistency […]
Another twisty blend. This one was not a surprise, tho. Wish I could tell you more but they don’t even have a wiki page, let alone a product one. smell […]
What a pleasant surprise. Clocking in $15 cheaper than the excellent 12y, the Highland Park 10y is a welcome addition to the $45-60 range. While it tastes young, the pedigree […]
Another box-checking entry we’d been looking forward to. We’ve had the Bushmills 10y before but it didn’t survive long enough to be reviewed. Oh well, a timely return. This leaves […]
Number three of the Beam Small Batch Bourbon Collection, Baker’s 7y doesn’t disappoint. We’ve been pretty solidly pro for the Basil Hayden and Knob Creek, and this bottle pulls its […]
Thanks to @mittenstrings and her recent scholastic voyages we have a trio of welsh Penderyn whiskies to try. We’ve seen the Peated before, so we’ll focus on the Sherrywood and […]
This is a little weird, but according to my whiskiography I’m quickly approaching 100 bottles tried, and a glaring hole in my whisky experience was that I’ve never seen a […]
