Sortilege Maple Syrup Whisky Liqueur
Happy holidays! One of 12-15 traditional drinking seasons. For some reason the cold makes us more agreeable to sticky, rich and cloying sweets, treats and meats. Might be an evolutionary […]

Sometimes I forget things. Things like, where did this whisky come from, and, who are M and St in the tasting notes. According to the website, Caldera Hurricane 5 Canadian […]
Crown Royal Bourbon Mash aka Blender’s Mash with Steph, Matt & Marie-Michèle

Saskatoon Sessions: Innis & Gunn 150 Limited Edition Maple & Thistle Rye Ale
First of all I’d like to apologize. The second half of 2017 has been pretty uneven for post publication. As in, all of one since I moved at the end […]
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 […]
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 […]

Yes, it’s *that* whisky! “Greatest whisky in the wold” some people have quoted, incorrectly. “Voted best!” others have also misspoken. Basically, what you’ve heard about this bottle of whisky […]
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, […]

George Dickel 95% Rye Whisky with Ryan, Davey & Alex
Alright, the first of a new brand. George Dickel Rye! Let’s give it a go. This is a Tennessee whisky… or is it? On the page above, they are very […]
Knob Creek Straight Rye with Dan & Ryan
Return to Knob Country! Wow, that sounds like the name of a porn. Back to back Knobs here at-nope. Um… We’re busy Knobbing away-no. In the middle of a good […]
Bulleit Rye Whiskey with Dan, Ryan & Davey
Bulleit Rye Whiskey. Because when you make okay bourbon, why not try okaying at other things too? While it doesn’t mention in what type of wood this whiskey was aged […]
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. […]
