Bowmore 25y “Opportunity Cost” @ The Blackbird
Ahh travelling. A thing we did. For work or visiting, who knew how much we’d miss simply not being in the place where we are… in… from… at. (A […]

It’s been an interesting spring, and May 2-4 weekend found yours truly ping-ponging around The Drive-Thru Province, traditional home of the Irving family, land of seafood, craft beer and more […]
The Pourhouse, Gastown, Vancouver with Brenna & Devin
On Wednesday I flew in to Vancouver for work, and last night I met up with my sister and brother-in-law who live out here. I haven’t had a chance to […]
Sixth Beer Of Christmas: Gouden Carolus Cuvee Van De Keizer with Dan, Goran, Ryan & Bowick

Second Beer Of Christmas: Fuller’s Vintage Ale with Dan & Ryan
DERP I PUT IT IN A BOX. More money please. You can see our last post for our true feelings on extra packaging, but it certainly does help to signify… […]

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 […]
The Glenrothes Flight at The Highlander Pub, Rideau, Ottawa with Dan, Ryan & Goran
We had been looking forward to this night for a week or so, a planned sequel to Dan’s bachelor party that I had been out of town for. The iScotch […]
Just got back from a pile of drinks with NG at the Fox & Feather on Elgin. I had a Talisker 10y, a Cragganmore 12y and a Balvenie 12y… followed by an Irish Carbomb (because tomorrow’s SPD) and a rye sour. My stomach feels pretty North Channel at the moment – choppy and mostly liquor.
The Dalmore 15y with Katherine at L’ile Noire
Second round at L’ile Noire, and we went for one of the big guys. The Dalmore wins all kinds of awards all the time. Caveat: we had The Dalmore 5th […]

Nikka Taketsuru 12y Pure Malt with Katherine at the Whisky Cafe
3rd round, Whisky Cafe. Time to get weird. We tried the Nikka Taketsuru 12y Pure Malt Whisky, Japan’s equivalent of a blend of single malts. This was unlike any whisky […]
Talisker 18y with Katherine at the Whisky Cafe
Second round at the Whisky Cafe, and it was time for a classic, and no binge scotching is complete without a Talisker. Served from a tiny bottle, the best review […]
Auchentoshan 21y with Katherine at the Whisky Cafe
First up at the Whisky Cafe, we opted for the oldest Auchentoshan available. It had been on Katherine’s list for a while and it seemed like the perfect chance to […]
Whisky Cafe, Bernard & St-Laurent, Montreal
First stop on the impromptu scotch tour of Montreal, the Whisky Cafe is a pretty classy joint, although the website is a little mid-last-decade (music-playing Flash splash page, eh?). The […]
