Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye with Matt & Dan
Yes, it’s *that* whisky! “Greatest whisky in the wold” some people have quoted, incorrectly. “Voted best!” others have also misspoken. Basically, what you’ve heard about this bottle of whisky […]
The Top 18 iScotch Posts That Weren’t
In the course of running a blog, you lose shit. If, like me, you’re a photographer first and foremost, you don’t lose photos, but you do lose slips of paper. […]
Steel & Oak Dark Lager with Dan
Aw yeah, another hand-smuggled interprovincial beer delivery from Devin in BC! Always appreciated, the beer gift is. We’ve had a Steel & Oak before, their smoked Hefeweizen, which was […]
Old Tomorrow Brewing Monty’s Golden Ryed Ale
Just a quickie review today – Beer! Old Tomorrow is a Toronto brewery that’s pretty new. They’re in a few southern and eastern Ontario pubs and the LCBO, so they’re […]
Potter’s Special Old Rye with Steve & Matt
Potter’s Special Old Rye Whisky. Special, old, rye. And in a tiny plastic bottle, because it’s very classy. Also classy, I’ll be continuing the practice of gifs with this post, […]
White Owl Whisky with Matt & Steve
White Owl Whisky. Clear like shine, but apparently legally allowed to be called whisky. What? Produced by Highwood Distillers, who also make Centennial, Century and Potters whiskies, White Owl is […]
Dillon’s Rose Gin Batch 11 with Dan & Alex
Dillon’s Rose Gin, a flavoured gin liquor. We’re well out of our wheelhouse with this one. Rose gins aren’t too uncommon, and rose hips show up as one of the […]
Sleeman Beechwood Smoked Lager with Steve
Okay, so sometimes we do a review, and due to a combination of the stuff being terrible, and the photo being boring, and it sort of being a little off-topic, […]
Evan Williams Extra Aged with Dan, Steve & Alex
Evan Williams Kentucky Straight Bourbon Extra Aged. What is it with bourbons and using their full name? Must be an American thing. There’s another Evan Quentin Williams the fourth or whatever […]
Dead Crow Bourbon Beer with Matt, Dan, Brian & Al
Hat-tip to Colin for pointing me in the direction of Dead Crow Bourbon Beer. Not necessarily a ringing hat-tip, but a good lead nonetheless. Dead Crow Bourbon Beer is a… […]
BattleScotch! Chinook v Gibson’s Finest Sterling with Dan
Aw yeah aw yeah! Haven’t had a BattleScotch in a while! And this is a real unfortunate pairing to bring back this awesome original concept that we thought up, two […]
Gibson’s Finest Sterling with Dan
Fancy photo for a tiny bottle. That’s from a hike up in Jasper. I know we’d sort of sworn off any further Gibson’s after the Finest/Finest Rare debacle (DEBACLE I […]
Chinook Canadian Whisky with Dan
First off, apologies for the delay in the English Whisky Co reviews, but moving has prevented doing a tasting. In the meantime… Chinook Canadian Whisky: just don’t. It’s been a […]
Fucking Fireball Goddamned Cinnamon Garbage Alleged Whisky with No One
I can’t believe I’m doing this. I haven’t tasted it yet. It’s sitting in a Glencairn glass between me and my keyboard. I am currently writing around it, through the […]
Gibson’s Finest Rare 12y with Davey
Okay… This is a head-scratcher. This might technically be a Round 2, but it’s hard to say. We’ve had Gibson’s Finest 12y before, but it didn’t have the word “Rare” on it, […]
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 […]
Trafalgar Mighty Oak Imperial Oaked Brown Ale
It’s been a while since we’ve had a new cask aged beer, especially one not from Innis & Gunn. It’s also been a while since I did a solo review, […]
Death’s Door Gin with Peter & Virginia
Last night I had a brief visit with some old friends in Toronto, and I took a bottle of gin with me to say hello. I found Death’s Door Gin […]
Ty·Ku Soju with Davey & Alex
Ty·Ku Soju is an odd one. An Japanese-referencing take on a Korean beverage, made by two American bros. Seriously, they got into this so they could get drunk and “maintain […]
Traverse City Whiskey Company 4y Straight Bourbon with Dan & Julia
The second review from my business trip to Michigan! I was going to be pretty disappointed if I didn’t find something local in MI, USA. It’s a working state, and […]
Canadian Club Reserve 9y with Davey & Alex
Heyheyhey fellow whiskynauts. I’m overnighting in beautiful Edmonton International Airport (YEG) and so a well written, hilarious, provocative or fact-checked post is just not in the works this week. So, […]
Cooper’s Cask Coffee with Dan & Julia
This is pretty awesome. John at Cooper’s contacted me to see if we’d be interested in giving whisky cask aged coffee a taste. It’s one of those happy coincidences that […]
Labatt Prohibition Series Bourbon Barrel Ale with Brad
I spent a few days down in (relatively) sunny Michigan for a Michigan Municipal League tradeshow, and stumbled across another Canadian. Well, not… not Canadian beer, like Molson Canadian Beer, […]
Canadian Club Chairman’s Select 100% Rye with Dan & Goran
Canadian Club Chairman’s Select 100% Rye. Not just a Select, but Selected by a man with a chair! A whole chair! I gave this bottle as a gift to a […]
