Nickel Brook Kentucky Bastard Imperial Stout with Dan
Bourbon-aged beer – truly it is a promise of great taste. This is the Nickel Brook Kentucky Bastard Imperial Stout, a nice little post-New Year’s cask aged beer. It’s aged […]
Les Trois Mousquetaires Grand Cuvée Porter Baltique Black Lager with Ryan
Christmas beer number two, thanks Bengt! Just a quick review here, we covered what there was to say about the brewery in the last post. This is a baltic porter […]
Canadian Club Small Batch Classic 12y with Goran & Ryan
The classic Christmas cadieux, the boozy boxed set. Thanks Ryan! Canadian Club gets a bit of a bad rap, one we tried to address with our review about the Premium. […]
Fifth Beer Of Christmas: Mill Street Brewery Barley Wine with Goran & Ryan
YAY CHRISTMAS BEERS! YAY FIVE BEERS! SOrry! sorry for shouting! This is Mill Street Brewery‘s Barley Wine Batch #13-331-4! This will be a short review because we’ve already talked about […]
Deanston Single Malt Scotch with Dan, Ryan, Goran & Bowick
Deanston. Haven’t heard or seen much of this brand since starting this blog, so I decided to grab it when it showed up at the LCBO. We do it so […]
Poit Dhubh 8y Blended Scotch with Dan, Goran, Ryan & Bowick
Poit Dhubh! Knowing Gaelic it’s probably pronounced ‘Greg’. This is the 8y old bro to the Té Bheag so there’s not too much more to add from that article. There […]
Glenglassaugh Peated with Dan, Ryan, Goran & Matt
Glenglassaugh number 2, Peated. Can you guess what the next article will be? Not a lot to say this time out that we didn’t say in the last piece, so […]
Glenglassaugh Fledgling XB with Dan, Dave, Ryan & Matt
I know, I know. We’ve tried unaged whisky (aka new make) before, and it hasn’t gone well. Unaged whisky ends up being all of the angry yelling and none of […]
Round 2: Proof by AJ (Guest Review)
Simon – This is our inaugural “Round 2” post, where we revisit bottles we tried more than a year ago. It’s written by guest reviewer AJ, university friend, former nemesis, […]
Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey with Dan, Ryan & Goran
Continued attempts by team iScotch to find a rye we can actually get behind – Dan is probably our most rye-positive member while Ryan ironically insists no good rye exists. […]
Hiram Walker Special Old Rye Whisky with Dan & Ryan
Very very short review here. This isn’t worth your time so we won’t spend much of ours on it either. Hiram Walker launched Canadian Club whiskey, among others, but weirdly […]
Aberfeldy 12y with Dan, Ryan & Goran
Just a quick wee bonus review to wrap up our great night at the Highlander Pub. Once we crashed through all The Glenrothes, we wanted a little sipper to taste […]
Jim Beam Devil’s Cut with Krystal, Dan, Ryan, Alex & Eddie
On the eve of the good day, we tried a bad bourbon. A bad bourbon with very good marketing. If the label and media is to be believed, there are […]
Hayman’s Slow Gin with Dan, Bowick & Laura
I know. It’s not scotch, or even whisky or whiskey, or even FROM a whisky brand, or from my own country. Why are we reviewing a sloe gin? Well, many […]
ScotchParty Review #4 – Auchentoshan 12y with Dan, Goran, Ryan, Ashley, Jared & Bowick
Sounds German, tastes Scottish. A quick Google for “etymology auchentoshan” reveals it’s just very old Gaelic from a branch that hasn’t made its way into common Scots English. Apparently this […]
ScotchParty Review #2 – Four Roses Small Batch with Dan, Ashley, Ryan, Goran & Bowick
Review Number 2 from The Night Of Many Whiskies. If you look closely in the photo to the left there’s a see-thru gun and a pump bottle of Purel on […]
anCnoc 12y with Dan, Ryan, Goran & Steph
It’s pronounced a-nock. Steph picked this up for me in Montreal, and it’s one that’s been on the to-try list for a while. We also got to verify the consistency […]
Grand MacNish with Dan, Goran & Bowick
Another twisty blend. This one was not a surprise, tho. Wish I could tell you more but they don’t even have a wiki page, let alone a product one. smell […]
Crown Royal De Luxe with Dan, Ryan & Goran
A Canadian classic, or part of the problem? Crown Royal divides whisky drinkers between those who look for the purple velvet bag (ROYALTY getit?) and those who steer clear. As […]
Phillips Union Whiskey Kentucky Straight Bourbon/Canadian Whisky with Dan
This is the last refugee of my quick trip to Saint John, New Brunswick, and the second of what we’re calling Transnational Blends. If Three Ships was a curious rendezvous […]
Three Ships Premium Select Whisky 5y with Dan & Goran
We’re doing a brief detour again, this time into what we’re calling Transnational Blends territory, because we like throwing around big words we’re only probably using properly. This particular international […]
Fuller’s Brewer’s Reserve Limited Edition No. 4 Oak Aged Ale with Dan & Goran
There are times when I’ll cop to being suckered by marketing. Big velvety blue box, OAK AGED emblazoned on the side, gold leaf script fonts, damn son, two please. While […]
Robert Burns Blended Scotch Whisky with Dan
Another visitor from New Brunswick, second to last of east coast interlopers. Nothing quite like attaching a national poet‘s name to your product to drag in the ex-pat dollars and […]
Jim Beam Original Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with Ryan & Goran
Sometimes there isn’t much to say about a bourbon. Allegedly Jim Beam is the world’s best selling bourbon, oops, sorry, “Number 1” bourbon. “Best selling” is something that could be […]
