BattleScotch! Well, BattleMake, but that sounds like a shit fight. You knew this was coming; we’ve BattleScotched on far less of a similarity in the past. The Peated v Fledgling […]
Glenglassaugh number 2, Peated. Can you guess what the next article will be? Not a lot to say this time out that we didn’t say in the last piece, so […]
I know, I know. We’ve tried unaged whisky (aka new make) before, and it hasn’t gone well. Unaged whisky ends up being all of the angry yelling and none of […]
It’s been a while but we’ve come back to Glenfiddich, thanks to my good friend Matt. Last time, we looked at their web presence and were a little underwhelmed with […]
You knew it was going to happen. You knew as soon as you saw us review the second Glenlivet, you knew “they’re gonna BattleScotch! the 12y and the 15y, I […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
A fine blend. Chivas Regal 12y is the bottom of the line entry from Chivas, a blender that also offers 18y and 21y blended expressions. They appear to be based […]
Our 100th post, so it’s time to do something new. In BattleScotch! we pit two or more bottles related by either obvious elements or esoteric justifications against each other in […]
Here we have McClelland’s Speyside, brother from another region to their Islay bottling. McClelland’s range is pretty reasonably priced, so it’s not too much of a hardship to give it […]
The Glenlivet. Another fairly glaring absence from our testing roles, finally remedied! The Glenlivet is an elder, storied distillery. I would tell you more about it but I can’t type […]
This is a bit of a finally for me. I’ve had about four bottles of this and haven’t gotten around to writing a review. It’s like going to a sci […]
I had tried the Cragganmore previously on a drinking night with NG, but I lost my notes in a scuffle later that evening. It came as part of the Classic […]
Picked up the Classic Malts (the Malts.com people) Strong Collection, featuring wee bottles of Cragganmore 12y, Talisker 10y and Lagavulin 16y. I’ve reviewed the Talisker previously, but reviews for the […]
Yay for surprise scotch presents! Katherine grabbed this for me a few weeks ago so obviously I had to get her help for the review. You may recognize MacAllan as […]
The other night I got a call from The Dan that our friend Alex had purloined a bottle of single malt scotch from his dad’s closet. It proved to be […]
The Benromach Special Edition is the only certified organic single malt scotch whisky I’m aware of, based on no research. Its certification comes from the UK Soil Association, and they […]
I had purchased The Glenrothes before for a friend on reputation alone. It’s been on my to drink list for a while now and I’m really pleased I finally got […]
First review so I decided to bring some friends in on the fun. Katherine has a somewhat longer relationship with scotch than I do (or with me, come to think […]
