Proper Twelve Irish Whiskey with Steve, Dan & Goran
Today is Hallowe’en, so it’s the perfect time to review an Irish whiskey, Proper 12. How so? Did you know that St Patty’s Day and Hallowe’en are exactly 6 months […]
BattleScotch! Dewar’s Double Aged Edition with Dan & Goran
You knew it was coming, because we told you it was coming and because there’s only so many things you can do with reviewing whisky: BattleScotch! Dewar’s Double Aged Edition! […]
Dewar’s 18y Blended Scotch Whisky with Dan & Goran
The third and last bottle out of the pack, Dewar’s 18y. Again it appears to be the same mashbill, just aged longer, so I won’t belabour the review with a […]
Dewar’s 15y Blended Scotch Whisky with Dan & Goran
Flat out forgot we’re doing all Dewar’s this month. Was scrolling through the hopper trying to figure out what to post and hummed and hawed then made dinner and came […]
Round 2! Dewar’s 12y with Dan & Goran
So, not entirely sure this is actually a Round 2! or not. Looking at the other Dewar’s 12y review, that bottle says stuff like Ancestor’s Blend and True Scotch. This one […]
Innis & Gunn Latitude & Longitude 002 Higher Ground Highland Cask Ale with Dan & Goran
Another iterative Innis & Gunn. Apparently we waited too long to post this review, the bottle no longer exists on their website. The second of the Longitude & Latitude series, […]
Aberlour 12y with Dan & Goran
Aberlour 12y. We’re gaining familiarity with this distiller, having tried the 10y and the 6y from the Advent calendar. We even pitted one against a McClelland’s way back in the […]
Lagavulin 8y with Dan & Goran
Aw yiss. A classic of the form. One of the pantheon. A real… thing of the… stuff. Lagavulin 8y. We’ve had exactly one Lagavulin before because they are prized, rare […]
Glen Garioch Founder’s Reserve with Dan & Goran
More ghosts of Christmases past! Woo hoo Christmas references in August! Glen Garioch Founder’s Reserve. Another wonky Scottish name, Garioch is now pronounced somewhere between Geery and Garyich, like a […]
BattleScotch! Tomintoul Glenlivet Edition with Dan & Goran
BattleScotch o’clock, Tomintoul time! You knew it was coming – we can’t do a whole month from one distiller without pitting them against each other in petty subjective combat. Cutting […]
Tomintoul Glenlivet 25y with Dan & Goran
We’ve come to the last new bottle out of the Tomintoul pack, the 25y. As near as I can tell this is the oldest expression of any whisk(e)y anything we’ve […]
Tomintoul Glenlivet 16y with Dan & Goran
The second entry in our month of Tomintoul, we have the 16y. There’s… not too much to say that we didn’t cover last time, it’s the same whisky, just from […]
Tomintoul Glenlivet 10y with Dan & Goran
Tomintoul Glenlivet 10y. So.. which is it? It appears to be a Tomintoul, as Tomintoul’s website calls all their whiskies Glenlivet Speyside. The Distillery is the Tomintoul-Glenlivet distillery, but it’s […]
Suntory Toki with Dan, Steve & Goran
Suntory Whisky’s Toki! It’s been a while since we’ve had a Japanese whisky, so thanks to Steve for this wicked Christmas present. Japanese whisky follows the Scottish tradition, including how […]
BattleScotch! The Dalmore with Goran & Dan
We haven’t done a BattleScotch in a long time, and this is the perfect set up. Since The Dalmore is so iterative, it will be interesting to see how their […]
The Dalmore 18y with Dan & Goran
The last of the new stuff, the last of the Dalmore Vial Sampler. The Dalmore 18y. Briefly, since we’ve been here before, this appears to be of the same origin […]
Round 2! The Dalmore 15y with Dan & Goran
Dalmore number three, the 15y! This was actually one of the very first iScotch reviews, and one of the earliest whiskies in my whiskiography. Interesting to see that my opinion […]
The Dalmore Gran Reserva with Dan & Goran
Folks I am me some hella tired. this review will be suffering from a lack of sleep and the concomitant neurological impairment. i appear to bee overcompensating and undercapitalizing. Gran […]
The Dalmore 12y with Dan & Goran
It has been a *long* time since our last Dalmore – fully four and a half years now. A Round 2 of the 15y is up next week, but this […]
Glen Grant 5y Single Malt Scotch with Dan & Goran
Goran found this bottle on a recent trip to The Continent (not this one, a different one) – Glen Grant 5y Single Malt Scotch! Scotch whisky from Italy! Glen Grant […]
Corner Creek Kentucky Bourbon with Virginia, Dan, Goran & Steve
Corner Creek Kentucky Bourbon, the first bourbon bottler we’ve sampled. Same as with scotch, some companies distill, some buy and blend, and some buy and bottle. This is the latter. […]
BattleScotch! Black Bottle v Black Grouse with Goran
Aw yeah, BattleScotch time! Haven’t done one of these in a while. For today’s combat d’esprits, we have the illustrious and 2-time winner Black Grouse taking on the newcomer, Gordon […]
Islay Mist Peated Reserve with Steve, Goran, Matt, Ryan, Dan & Julia
Peat party for particular palates! We’ve got our second Islay Mist, this time their Peated Reserve. Islay Mist has done well for us in the past as one of the […]
Cardhu 12y with Steve, Goran, Julia, Dan & Matt
Welcome to 2016 and THE FUTURE! It’s a leap year and I hear there may even be a new iPhone this year. Marvelous time, this future. What better way to kick […]
