The Botanist Gin with The Dan, The Ryan & The Goran
Changing a couple things up for this review. Yes, it’s a gin, and I don’t like gin either. But it’s okay, it’s made by Bruichladdich, the Islay scotchmakers. And, we’ve […]
Bruichladdich Port Charlotte Peat Project with The Dan
Bruichladdich is a big brand, consisting of many sub-divisions of brands and sub-brands. The Peat Project is the non-age specific vintage blend of a single malt of the Port Charlotte […]
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 […]
Bushmills 16y with The Dan
For all that this site is called iscotch, I do love me some fine Irish whiskey. And this is some fine Irish whiskey. Bushmills is pretty much always good. Previously […]
Cragganmore 12y with Jono & Vanni
I had tried the Cragganmore previously on a drinking night with NG, but I lost my notes in a scuffle later that evening. It came as part of the Classic […]
Jura Prophecy with The Dan
This is a big hitter. Probably one of the most robust scotches I’ve tasted so far that remains drinkable. Hands down, we have nothing but good things to say about […]
Bushmills Black Bush with The Dan
Wrapping up this foray into Whiskies Irish is a bottle The Dan had set aside for review. This is an Irish Whiskey blend, mixing malt and grain whiskeys, but with […]
Writer’s Tears with The Dan
This is the second of the Irish Whiskies we bought for St Paddy’s day, delayed by scheduling conflicts with The Dan. But this weekend we managed to get together and […]
Redbreast 12y
I grabbed this and the next bottle of something called “Irish Whiskey” for St Patrick’s day when we threw a little impromptu get together. My work ethic being what it […]
MacAllan 12y Sherry Oak with Katherine
Yay for surprise scotch presents! Katherine grabbed this for me a few weeks ago so obviously I had to get her help for the review. You may recognize MacAllan as […]
Jura Superstition with Katherine & Dan
Another bottle to replace. This Jura was one of the first bottles I bought myself – I really liked the story they told on the box, for the most part. […]
Bowmore 12y
I should come clean on this one before I go any further – after Taliskers, Bowmore is my favourite scotch. If you want to drink single malt scotch on a […]
Balvenie Founder’s Reserve 10y with The Dan
The other night I got a call from The Dan that our friend Alex had purloined a bottle of single malt scotch from his dad’s closet. It proved to be […]
Talisker 10y
This is the first single malt scotch I tasted when I started this new hobby of scotch… uh, drinking. It was the second bottle I emptied (I love Bowmore), triggering […]
Nikka Taketsuru 12y Pure Malt with Katherine at the Whisky Cafe
3rd round, Whisky Cafe. Time to get weird. We tried the Nikka Taketsuru 12y Pure Malt Whisky, Japan’s equivalent of a blend of single malts. This was unlike any whisky […]
Talisker 18y with Katherine at the Whisky Cafe
Second round at the Whisky Cafe, and it was time for a classic, and no binge scotching is complete without a Talisker. Served from a tiny bottle, the best review […]
Auchentoshan 21y with Katherine at the Whisky Cafe
First up at the Whisky Cafe, we opted for the oldest Auchentoshan available. It had been on Katherine’s list for a while and it seemed like the perfect chance to […]
Highland Park 12y
Once again, I should start by copping to the fact I already like this scotch. I’m still working my way through my own collection, and I tend to give away […]
The Glenrothes Select Reserve with The Dan
I had purchased The Glenrothes before for a friend on reputation alone. It’s been on my to drink list for a while now and I’m really pleased I finally got […]
