We’re a week away from Christmas and we’ve got a backlog of dark beer reviews for you, so we’ll call this happy coincidence our Seven Beers of Christmas and give […]
A quickie beer post. Mill Street Brewery is a Toronto success story. In 11 years, they’ve expanded from a Distillery District brewery to four brewpubs in 2 cities, with their […]
Simon – This is our inaugural “Round 2” post, where we revisit bottles we tried more than a year ago. It’s written by guest reviewer AJ, university friend, former nemesis, […]
Continued attempts by team iScotch to find a rye we can actually get behind – Dan is probably our most rye-positive member while Ryan ironically insists no good rye exists. […]
Recently, we BattleScotch!ed some shitty bourbons. That was shitty. This was not shitty. This was the GOOD bourbon BattleScotch! Baker’s 7y v Knob Creek 9y, both part of the Small […]
Very very short review here. This isn’t worth your time so we won’t spend much of ours on it either. Hiram Walker launched Canadian Club whiskey, among others, but weirdly […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
BattleScotch! The Budget Bourbon Edition. We have no one’s favourite Jim Beam Devil’s Cut battling fellow delinquent Labrot & Graham Woodford Reserve Distiller’s Select. It’s like listening to your neighbors […]
Back in Canada. Well, Alberta. But purchased in western and consumed in eastern Ontario. Enough geography, what is this, Rand McFrickin’ally? 4 and a half years now I’ve been waiting […]
On the eve of the good day, we tried a bad bourbon. A bad bourbon with very good marketing. If the label and media is to be believed, there are […]
What a day! Congrats to our regular contributors Dan & Laura on their special day. Where’s the review, you ask? Well, this is going to get subjective. Objectively, you could […]
Review Number 2 from The Night Of Many Whiskies. If you look closely in the photo to the left there’s a see-thru gun and a pump bottle of Purel on […]
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 […]
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 […]
Stay tuned for our Stalk & Barrel review from the guys at Still Waters Distillery, and see more of my visit at stillwellgray.ca.
A Canadian classic, or part of the problem? Crown Royal divides whisky drinkers between those who look for the purple velvet bag (ROYALTY getit?) and those who steer clear. As […]
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 […]
This is the last refugee of my quick trip to Saint John, New Brunswick, and the second of what we’re calling Transnational Blends. If Three Ships was a curious rendezvous […]
Just a quick and dirty catchup post. We reviewed this one a while ago as part of Project Tiny Bottles, the “let’s get post-fodder for cheap” initiative that has brought […]
Sometimes there isn’t much to say about a bourbon. Allegedly Jim Beam is the world’s best selling bourbon, oops, sorry, “Number 1” bourbon. “Best selling” is something that could be […]
Having a scotch blog isn’t all decades-old drams and scantily clad whiskeyettes doing suggestive dances in your face while you wax poetic on the emotional evocativeness of different phenols and […]
Another year, another Innis & Gunn Canadian edition. This time, they haven’t tied it to Canada Day, which widens their sales window significantly. The guy at the LCBO mentioned large […]
