Forty Creek Confederation Oak Reserve with Steve
Thanks to Covid, the old hopper is starting to empty a bit. This review is of a bottle from last Christmas’ staff exchange, finally seeing the light of day. No […]

A quick beer review as I stare down the midnight deadline. Sleeman Golden Festbeir doesn’t appear on their website for some reason. I remember when Sleeman relaunched. I didn’t realize […]
After a month of real (bad) scotch, how about a nice, simple beer? This ain’t that. Nickel Brook Glory & Gold Bourbon Barrel Aged Cuvee is a lot of words […]
3 years ago, Montreal celebrated its 375iem anniversaire. Cirka, a Montreal distiller, put out this 375ml bottle of Gin375 gin at $37.75 to commemorate the occasion. It must’ve been so […]
We’ve raved about Founder’s products in the past, and we’re raving about this one too: Founder’s Original Thai Pomelo Rye & Ginger. A quick review of another fresh & refreshing […]
Hard Way Cider Company, located halfway between Kingston & Napanee, up the road from McKinnon Brothers Brewing Company (who we’ll have to check out soon). I had seen these guys […]
It’s been 35+ degrees Celsius around here lately so it’s the perfect time to review a heavy beer you (checks internet) … probably can’t get anymore. Unibroue’s La Résolution – […]
Founder’s premixed drinks were the find of last summer. Easy as beer but not beer; cold, refreshing, Canadian, great. So as we head into the Summer of Isolation If You’re […]
This year’s Collective Arts print tube is a Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Porter, something a little different. The print is a bird motif from Kait Cooper, check out her stuff and […]
Another craft gin on our whisky blog – whatever. We’re gonna drink whatever we… chose to afford to drink. Collective Arts Artisanal Dry Gin. As much as we wish Collective […]
A quickie from the North as I try to push out some of the backlog of beer reviews we have kicking around here. So why not something exotic from Canada’s […]
Kinsip Barrel Aged Maple Syrup is right what it says on the bottle. Maple syrup aged in whisky barrels. From Kinsip. And it does to maple syrup pretty much what […]
Happy holidays! One of 12-15 traditional drinking seasons. For some reason the cold makes us more agreeable to sticky, rich and cloying sweets, treats and meats. Might be an evolutionary […]
Sometimes I forget things. Things like, where did this whisky come from, and, who are M and St in the tasting notes. According to the website, Caldera Hurricane 5 Canadian […]
Interesting story on this one. Crown Royal released the bottle as Bourbon Mash (seen here because we got the hookup), a Canadian whisky made in Canada using a typical Bourbon […]
Just a quick review – finally getting around to the beers from Iqaluit. Nunavut Brewing Company Frob Gold Strong Golden Ale – this one is pretty okay, if you think […]
Video Review! Bearface is a somehow new 7y Canadian whiskey. I’m being facetious – you can do that by buying other people’s at least 7y whisky. It looks like […]
Video Review! Barnburner Ontario Whisky from Maverick Distillery. This was a sleeper – probably one of the best tasting budget Canadian whiskies I’ve had, and I’m super judgey of Canadian […]
Steve is a tricky palate. He likes things other people don’t, and doesn’t like much of what we’d consider “the good stuff”, except for the odd time he really likes […]
Dominion City Brewing in Ottawa does a lot of interesting stuff, but Davey and I couldn’t agree on whether this was one of them. As stouts go, it’s great for […]
This one is going to be a very short review. We had this beer with Christmas dinner (not quite 6 months ago), so we weren’t able to take traditional notes. […]
We don’t usually do wine here on iScotch but my buddy Davey started working at the Wine… Shop? Store? Wine Bunker..? Nono, the Wine-o-Rama, in the Sobey’s on Metcalfe. He […]
The Continuing Weird Beer Adventures Of Innis & Gunn – Don’s Choice Black IPA with Coconut & Rhubarb. The definition of too many things – a barrel-aged black IPA with […]
Another holiday bottle where you pay more for extra packaging! It’s okay – I’m using it as a riser for my scotch display back row now. Sleeman Sparkling Ale was […]
