JP Wiser’s Double Still Rye with Dan
JP Wiser’s Double Still Rye. Again with the Wiser’s. We are pretty consistent non-fans of Wiser’s and their stable of whiskies, which is unfortunately both huge and cheap, so they […]
Dewar’s 12y Ancestor Blend with Dan, Davey, Matt & Steve
As this project has gone on, we’ve found a unique kind of satisfaction in checking off another expression of a brand we’ve enjoyed before. The completist’s high, the collector’s sense of progress. […]
Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select with Matt, Marie-Michèle & Julia
Jack Daniel’s. You know it, you’ve had it. But you may not have had this. As the name suggests, this is bottled from a single barrel of Jack Daniel’s […]
Lombard Old Masters G Blend with Matt & Steve
Lombard’s Old Masters G Blended Scotch Whisky. This one is a little odd. Lombard’s website, and the postal code, tell us the company hails from the Isle of Man, which […]
Old Tomorrow Brewing Monty’s Golden Ryed Ale
Just a quickie review today – Beer! Old Tomorrow is a Toronto brewery that’s pretty new. They’re in a few southern and eastern Ontario pubs and the LCBO, so they’re […]
Glenfiddich 15y Solera with Dan
Another Glenfiddich! Not very often we get a new one of these core brands. Usually because they’re not cheap OR very exciting, really. The problem with a long standing, consistent […]
Potter’s Special Old Rye with Steve & Matt
Potter’s Special Old Rye Whisky. Special, old, rye. And in a tiny plastic bottle, because it’s very classy. Also classy, I’ll be continuing the practice of gifs with this post, […]
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 […]
White Owl Whisky with Matt & Steve
White Owl Whisky. Clear like shine, but apparently legally allowed to be called whisky. What? Produced by Highwood Distillers, who also make Centennial, Century and Potters whiskies, White Owl is […]
Tomatin Oloroso 18y with Dan
Tomatin Oloroso 18y, the last of the Tomatin Stillmen’s Choice sampler. Next week, we close Tomatin month with the obligatory BattleScotch! At 18y, this is in the old end of […]
Boodles London Dry Gin with Steve
Gin: because every once in a while you have to give your liver a break from brown liquor and take your malaria medication. Boodles started as a brand in 1845 in London, and […]
Dillon’s Rose Gin Batch 11 with Dan & Alex
Dillon’s Rose Gin, a flavoured gin liquor. We’re well out of our wheelhouse with this one. Rose gins aren’t too uncommon, and rose hips show up as one of the […]
Innis & Gunn Limited Edition Highland Ale with Dan, Goran & Steve
Always a good day when a new Innis & Gunn shows up at the LCBO. And as much as we curse the Box Tax, they sure help take a decent […]
Sleeman Beechwood Smoked Lager with Steve
Okay, so sometimes we do a review, and due to a combination of the stuff being terrible, and the photo being boring, and it sort of being a little off-topic, […]
Harviestoun Òrach Slie Golden Ale with Dan, Matt, Brian & Al
Harviestoun Òrach Slie Glenfarclas Cask Aged Golden Ale – so many words. Dan & I have had a Harviestoun before, their Ola Dubh. At the time it was advertised as being […]
The English Whisky Co Chapter Ten Sherry Finish with Dan, Goran, Steve, Julia, Brian & Matt
The last of the limey bastards, Chapter Ten from The English Whisky Co is their sherry cask bottling. They’ve used Olorosso casks, which we first heard of from an Innis […]
The English Whisky Co Chapter Nine Peated with Dan, Goran, Steve, Brian & Matt
Finally, back on track! We’ve got so many reviews in the hopper right now, y’all don’t even know. DON’T EVEN KNOW. Beers, gins & whiskies, new countries on the board! […]
Gibson’s Finest Sterling with Dan
Fancy photo for a tiny bottle. That’s from a hike up in Jasper. I know we’d sort of sworn off any further Gibson’s after the Finest/Finest Rare debacle (DEBACLE I […]
Chinook Canadian Whisky with Dan
First off, apologies for the delay in the English Whisky Co reviews, but moving has prevented doing a tasting. In the meantime… Chinook Canadian Whisky: just don’t. It’s been a […]
The English Whisky Co Chapter Six with Julia
The first of the The English Whisky Co trio, the Chapter Six. So glad this thing survived the flight back from Edmonton, packed full of dirty laundry. I don’t think […]
Amrut Single Malt with Davey
I have been travelling a lot lately. Michigan, Cambridge Bay, Vancouver, and this past week I added Jasper. In two days I head to Thunder Bay. Aside from seeing some […]
Fucking Fireball Goddamned Cinnamon Garbage Alleged Whisky with No One
I can’t believe I’m doing this. I haven’t tasted it yet. It’s sitting in a Glencairn glass between me and my keyboard. I am currently writing around it, through the […]
Gibson’s Finest Rare 12y with Davey
Okay… This is a head-scratcher. This might technically be a Round 2, but it’s hard to say. We’ve had Gibson’s Finest 12y before, but it didn’t have the word “Rare” on it, […]
Ty·Ku Soju with Davey & Alex
Ty·Ku Soju is an odd one. An Japanese-referencing take on a Korean beverage, made by two American bros. Seriously, they got into this so they could get drunk and “maintain […]
