Wild Turkey 81 Kentucky Straight Bourbon with Dan
Back in bourbon country. I am developing a fondness for the matured southern dram, that’s for sure. Wild Turkey 81 is… getting there. I wasn’t blown away, but there was […]
Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Sour Mash with Dan & Ryan
Not much to say about Jack Daniel’s that you haven’t already thrown up in an alley, praying for death. They make Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey, which legally is just bourbon […]
Buffalo Trace White Dog Mash #1 with Ryan & Dan
Just a head’s up. After this review, we’re taking a break from un-aged whisk(e)y for a while. A long while. It tends to be the palate equivalent of seeing the […]
Canadian Club Premium with Dan & Ryan
This appeared in my whisky case after a party, and has been staring at me ever since. “I’m a classic” i keep hearing, “I’m so popular!” “I’m a staple!” That […]
Radical Road Canny Man Scotch Cask Aged Beer with Dan, Ryan & Goran
Picked up these two bottles of Radical Road Canny Man scotch whisky cask aged beers. Radical Road’s web presence seems to be limited to a Twitter account, so I can’t […]
Dillon’s White Rye with Dan, Ryan & Goran
An honest to god rye. Dillon’s White Rye is unaged, so it’s not legally a whisky, but it’s way more of a rye than anything called “Canadian Whisky”. If you […]
Forty Creek Premium Barrel Select with Dan & Ryan
Oh man. Forty Creek – a blast from the past. You might be asking, dude, why? Why? WHY? It has at least three strikes: “Canadian Whisky” (which as we know […]
Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with Dan
Yay! More bourbon! Weird name tho, I don’t know how you trace a buffalo. This appears to be a case of giving the marketing people free license – Buffalo Trace […]
Make’r Easy with Mom, Dad & Dev – Beyond The Pale Part 4 of 3
Last week Beyond The Pale tweeted that they were releasing a Maker’s Mark cask-aged version of their Easy brew at noon on Saturday. I was out front at about quarter-to […]
Maker’s Mark Aged Beyond The Pale with Trevor & Steph (part 3 of An Evening Beyond The Pale)
Part 3 of 3! Yay, finishing something! Take THAT, high school guidance counselor! Anyway, we’re wrapping up An Evening Beyond The Pale with, well, the whole point of this exercise. […]
Maker’s Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky with Trevor & Steph (part 2 of An Evening Beyond The Pale)
If you’re going to taste a couple of beers, and then taste those same beers after they’ve been aged in Maker’s Mark bourbon barrels, it makes a little sense to, […]
Beyond The Pale with Trevor & Steph
Okay, so this review is actually three reviews. Or five. Or one review interrupted part-way through with another review. It’ll all make sense as you read it. Beyond the Pale […]
Elijah Craig 12y Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with Dan & Alex
Another case of a splash of water making all the difference. And it’s another case of a slightly overproofed spirit. It’s possible that my tongue has become accustomed to the […]
Ungava Gin with Nearly Everyone
I think I know what both my readers are thinking to themselves. They’re thinking “pretty sure I’m at iSCOTCH, pretty sure I type that in/clicked that bookmark. so what the […]
Bulleit Bourbon Frontier Whiskey with Dan
Another bourbon! Bulleit is a Diageo brand, allegedly based on a 150 year old recipe that includes rye and barley malt in the make. It is not a particularly complicated […]
Basil Hayden’s 8y Kentucky Straight Bourbon with Dan
Staying in the USA for a little bit. The lineage here is a bit thick: Basil Hayden’s only web presence is as part of The Original Small Batch Bourbon Collection […]
Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine with Dan & Ryan
First off – big thanks to my buddy Jono for bringing this back from one of his trips America-ward. I asked him to grab me some interesting American booze and […]
Wiser’s De Luxe with Dan
Wiser’s De Luxe is apparently not the most budget member of the Wiser’s family, which is kind of terrifying. We reviewed the Small Batch which is allegedly of higher quality […]
Wiser’s Small Batch Double Barrelled with Dan
Brief stop with Canadian Whiskey today. The designation “Canadian Whiskey” is pretty problematic. The manufacturers would like you to equate CW with Rye Whisk(e)y, but you shouldn’t. From Serious Eats: […]
Glen Breton 10y with Dan, Ryan & Goran
This is the second bottle from Glen Breton we’ve had; you’ll remember the 17y Ice Wine Cask finish we reviewed. That was a little heavy handed, as I’m finding most […]
Knob Creek 9y Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with The Dan
My buddy and previous guest reviewer Jono brought this back from one of his trips to the States. Dan and I tucked into it and here’s what we thought. smell […]
Labrot & Graham Woodford Reserve Distiller’s Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with The Dan
I have been looking at this bottle for a year or so now, humming and hawing over trying bourbon while I’m still figuring out scotch. Dan and I figured it […]
Proof with The Dan
So, I could (and will) go into detail about the way this Canadian Whisky tastes, but you should know it’s just terrible. It blends with Canada Dry ginger ale very […]
Glen Breton 17y Icewine Cask with Katherine
Katherine snagged this bottle (I know, right?) on a recent trip home to the ‘Scosh (no one calls it that). We were pretty stoked to try this – one of […]
