I’m not a professional event host or anything, and I’m not trying to make any money off of this thing (yet). But a couple times now, I’ve been asked or […]
Glenfiddich 12y Special Reserve with Dad
It’s Dad’s birthday and he’s gone to the liquor cabinet and pulled out this Glenfiddich 12y Special Reserve. We’ve had a 12y Glenfiddich before, but it’s not clear if this is […]
The Famous Grouse Smoky Black with Dan
A new Famous Grouse! Well, not quite. The Famous Grouse Smoky Black is the new branding for The Black Grouse. Which is a little odd since they’re still offering the […]
BattleScotch! Glenfarclas with Dan & Bowick
Well, you knew this was going to happen, of course. It’s not a brand sampler without a BattleScotch to tell you which is worth your time or money. Always a […]
Glenfarclas 12y with Dan & Bowick
Alright, the last of the Glenfarclii, the 12y. We can jump right to the notes, here’s what we thought: nose Dan – old banana, salty baked bread, fresh fudge […]
Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength with Dan & Bowick
Second out the box of Glenfarclas it’s the 105! Named after something, I’m sure, but as we said last time the website is a little light on information. They suggest […]
Glenfarclas 10y with Dan & Bowick
Aw yiss, Glenfarclas at last. We’ve seen Glenfarclas 10y on the shelves for a while, and I was tantalizingly close to getting a bottle through Secret Santa one year. I […]

Crown Royal XO – picked this out of the Christmas exchange at work – thanks Matt! Our third Crown Royal and the first from their Master Series, the XO is […]

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 […]
Stalk & Barrel Blue Blend with Dan
Here we go, the other Stalk & Barrel blend, the Blue. So what’s going on here? Stalk & Barrel is retiring the 1+11 blend and instead offering the Blue & Red Blends […]
Round 2! The Glenrothes Select Reserve with Dan & Ryan
Late night, late post! Just a quick Round 2 of one of our all time faves, the Glenrothes Select Reserve. 351st article, that’s kind of crazy. This introductory bottle from a […]
66 Gilead Wild Oak with Dan & Ryan
66 Gilead Wild Oak, a new Ontario whisky from Prince Edward County. Yay for whisky from within 300 kilometres from home! Thanks to Brad for picking this up on a […]
Wayne Gretzy 99 Red Cask with Dan, Davey, Vanni & Ryan
Two weeks ago we brought you AJ’s thoughts on The Liquormen’s Ol’ Dirty Canadian Whisky, the whisky of the Trailer Park Boys. This week’s celebrity vanity spirit is Wayne Gretzky’s […]
Guest Review! The Liquormen’s Ol’ Dirty Canadian Whisky By AJ
Simon – So I feel a little bad about this one. I bought this bottle on my way through Calgary and hadn’t noticed the Trailer Park Boys logo at the […]
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 […]

Haven’t had a good run from a good distiller in a long time, so coming up through September and October – The Dalmore. Grabbed this shwank sampler pack to give […]
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 […]
The Ileach Peated Islay Single Malt with Dan, Steve & Goran
Pretty rare these days that we review an actually Scotch whisky. Prices have been on the climb for a while as various shortages are made up or actually occur. Because of […]
Tap 8 Sherry Finished 8y Rye with Dan
Tap 8 Sherry Finished 8y Rye. Possibly the best rye ever, and that’s me saying that. Tap’s web presence is broken at the moment – the stylesheet’s not loading so […]
Revel Stoke Roasted Pineapple with Dan & Laura
Another offering from Winnipeg – Revel Stoke Roasted Pineapple flavoured whisky. I think everyone knows how this is going to go so let’s not drag it out. We’ve had and […]
