Glenfiddich 18y Batch 3088 with Ryan, Matt & Goran

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 […]

Aberfeldy 12y with Dan, Ryan & Goran
Just a quick wee bonus review to wrap up our great night at the Highlander Pub. Once we crashed through all The Glenrothes, we wanted a little sipper to taste […]
Radical Road The Wayward Son Belgian Style Golden Ale with Ryan
So here’s a quick little beer review as we gear up for some serious scotchification in the next few weeks. Yeah, I said it. If you didn’t want made up […]

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 […]
ScotchParty Review #7 – The Famous Grouse with Dan, Jared & Bowick
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 […]
Birthday Scotch Review – Dun Bheagan 8y Islay Hogshead
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. […]
ScotchParty Review #5 – McClelland’s Highland with Dan, Ryan, Goran, Ashley, Jared & Bowick
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. […]

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 – […]

ScotchParty Review #1 – The GlenDronach 12y Original with Dan, Ryan, Goran, Bowick, Ashley & Jared
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 […]
anCnoc 12y with Dan, Ryan, Goran & Steph
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 […]
Highland Park 10y with Dan, Bowick, Ryan & Goran
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 […]
Bushmills 10y with Dan & Goran
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 […]
Baker’s 7y Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with Dan & Ryan
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 […]
Stalk & Barrel Cask 2 with Dan & Goran
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 […]
Lot No. 40 Single Copper Pot Still Rye Whisky with Dan
Here’s a quickie because I’m on the road. A few weeks ago Dan picked up this interesting bottle of straight rye whisky, something we thought was a rarity but is […]
Three Ships Premium Select Whisky 5y with Dan & Goran
We’re doing a brief detour again, this time into what we’re calling Transnational Blends territory, because we like throwing around big words we’re only probably using properly. This particular international […]
Fuller’s Brewer’s Reserve Limited Edition No. 4 Oak Aged Ale with Dan & Goran
There are times when I’ll cop to being suckered by marketing. Big velvety blue box, OAK AGED emblazoned on the side, gold leaf script fonts, damn son, two please. While […]
Robert Burns Blended Scotch Whisky with Dan
Another visitor from New Brunswick, second to last of east coast interlopers. Nothing quite like attaching a national poet‘s name to your product to drag in the ex-pat dollars and […]
Innis & Gunn Scottish Pale Ale with Ryan
Another tasty new Innis & Gunn brew. Good and light for summer, while retaining the classic I&G robustness. It’s a push towards the craft beer hoppiness, but manages to provide […]
