A lovely Christmas present reviewed in the spring and finally published on one of the hottest days of the year. It’s hot. It’s real hot. You’d be excused by saying […]

The LCBO is still open and you can still go pick up party fuel for Canada Day tomorrow. With that in mind and in the vein of a public service […]
The Ardmore Legacy with Dan
Once again, it’s been a while since we had a single malt scotch, the whisky after which the site is named. This happens, of course, because other whiskies, spirits & […]
BattleScotch! Tomintoul Glenlivet Edition with Dan & Goran
BattleScotch o’clock, Tomintoul time! You knew it was coming – we can’t do a whole month from one distiller without pitting them against each other in petty subjective combat. Cutting […]
Tomintoul Glenlivet 25y with Dan & Goran
We’ve come to the last new bottle out of the Tomintoul pack, the 25y. As near as I can tell this is the oldest expression of any whisk(e)y anything we’ve […]
Tomintoul Glenlivet 16y with Dan & Goran
The second entry in our month of Tomintoul, we have the 16y. There’s… not too much to say that we didn’t cover last time, it’s the same whisky, just from […]
Tomintoul Glenlivet 10y with Dan & Goran
Tomintoul Glenlivet 10y. So.. which is it? It appears to be a Tomintoul, as Tomintoul’s website calls all their whiskies Glenlivet Speyside. The Distillery is the Tomintoul-Glenlivet distillery, but it’s […]

BattleScotch! Bruichladdich Edition with Dan & Ryan
….And the last Bruichladdich article for a while, I promise, but we had to do it – BattleScotch! Bruichladdich Edition! These were three pretty great scotches in their own right, […]
Bruichladdich Unpeated Islay Barley with Dan & Ryan
Second out of the box, we have Bruichladdich’s Unpeated Islay Barley. It’s.. uh.. … it’s what the name says it is, I guess. I’ve tried to find this expression on […]
Saskatoon Sessions: Monkey Shoulder
Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Whisky. Named for an old whiskying injury, apparently. Which makes sense because this was kind of painful to drink. A blended malt means this is a […]
Saskatoon Sessions: Ardbeg Uigeadail
Ardbeg Uigeadail – It’s pronounced oog-a-dal, because that’s what you say when you drink it. This is a Proper Islay – full bore smoke and fire, good for a […]
High River Canadian Whisky with Davey
What do you get when you bottle Canadian whisky in Kentucky? Mediocre whisky. To be fair, the back-and-forth shipping of High River is probably not this whisky’s major fault. That […]
How To Do A Whisky Tasting
I’m not a professional event host or anything, and I’m not trying to make any money off of this thing (yet). But a couple times now, I’ve been asked or […]

The day after St Paddy’s Day is the perfect time to drop these little Scottish/Irish gems. Innis & Gunn Kith & Kin, the first Innis & Gunn to use (or […]
Glenfarclas 12y with Dan & Bowick
Alright, the last of the Glenfarclii, the 12y. We can jump right to the notes, here’s what we thought: nose Dan – old banana, salty baked bread, fresh fudge […]
Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength with Dan & Bowick
Second out the box of Glenfarclas it’s the 105! Named after something, I’m sure, but as we said last time the website is a little light on information. They suggest […]
66 Gilead Wild Oak with Dan & Ryan
66 Gilead Wild Oak, a new Ontario whisky from Prince Edward County. Yay for whisky from within 300 kilometres from home! Thanks to Brad for picking this up on a […]
Wayne Gretzy 99 Red Cask with Dan, Davey, Vanni & Ryan
Two weeks ago we brought you AJ’s thoughts on The Liquormen’s Ol’ Dirty Canadian Whisky, the whisky of the Trailer Park Boys. This week’s celebrity vanity spirit is Wayne Gretzky’s […]
Guest Review! The Liquormen’s Ol’ Dirty Canadian Whisky By AJ
Simon – So I feel a little bad about this one. I bought this bottle on my way through Calgary and hadn’t noticed the Trailer Park Boys logo at the […]
JP Wiser’s Hopped Whisky (Dark Ale Style) with Dan
JP Wiser’s Hopped Whisky. A tiny sampler attached to the Double Still Rye. I just got called out for hating on Wiser’s in the last review, and this one’s not […]
