There’s always an Innis & Gunn in the hopper. Always. There’s still at least one after this, and we’re heading into their holiday try-shit-oramathon season, so I would assume there […]
You knew it was coming, because we told you it was coming and because there’s only so many things you can do with reviewing whisky: BattleScotch! Dewar’s Double Aged Edition! […]
The third and last bottle out of the pack, Dewar’s 18y. Again it appears to be the same mashbill, just aged longer, so I won’t belabour the review with a […]
Flat out forgot we’re doing all Dewar’s this month. Was scrolling through the hopper trying to figure out what to post and hummed and hawed then made dinner and came […]
It’s been a while since we had a whole set of something and gave a whole month to a whisky but thanks to last year’s gift packs, here we are […]
Still working my way through the Advent Calendar from That Boutique-y Whisky Company. It was pointed out that maybe publishing 24 different reviews for bottles you can’t buy was less […]
Aberlour 12y. We’re gaining familiarity with this distiller, having tried the 10y and the 6y from the Advent calendar. We even pitted one against a McClelland’s way back in the […]
Advent mini bottle number seven! It’s the unpronounceable Auchroisk, and if you make that noise in the grocery store now, you’ll be asked to leave. #CovidJokes Who are <Scottish barfing […]
The sixth tiny bottle from the medium box of big flavours. Pay me to write, you jags! Here we have a hobo’s tear worth of Ardmore 10y, of which is […]
The fifth of advent, a 40 full of cheer. Corona got you trapped inside, why not drink a whole box of whisky. What could possibly go wrong? Aberlour is a […]
We’ve had more than a few Brookladdies now, and we tend to like em. Sometimes people read the blog and get us things we like. So we review them again! […]
We have done so many Tomatin – this is number seven – at this point there’s not a lot to say. Tomatin Cù Bòcan – near as I can tell […]
A recent very excellent birth day present, two tickets to Whiskey Ottawa, thanks Hillary! A massive event with a good 3-400 people and looooots of different whiskeys and whiskies. So […]
Another Review! Another Video Review! Finally, the almighty Johnnie Walker Blue. What makes this blend worth over $300 a bottle? Nothing! It isn’t. nose Simon – sharp, mashier, honey […]
Going to kick it off with the video review again: Here’s the written review. Not too much more I can say about Johnnie Walker, other than that this is […]
How about we start this one with the video! Johnnie Walk Double Black is not twice as good as the regular Black Label. In fact, whatever taste Black is, it […]
This one we’ve done before, so I’ll keep it brief this time around. First up out of the Johnnie Walker set is arguably my favourite, the 12y Black Label. The […]
Finally. Seven months after purchase, we finally got around to tasting this set. A broad selection of Johnnie Walkers, as it turns out, is not appreciable better than a narrow […]
Another Grouse, this time Naked – The Naked Grouse. Why Naked? Why not, exclaims the website nakedgrouse.com, which doesn’t appear to be part of the Famous Grouse site. In fact […]
The Singleton 12y Dufftown Single Malt Scotch Whisky. A rogue’s smile and an upgraded ticket got me into the Air Canada lounge in Winnipeg (mostly the ticket), where I found […]
It’s been an interesting spring, and May 2-4 weekend found yours truly ping-ponging around The Drive-Thru Province, traditional home of the Irving family, land of seafood, craft beer and more […]
BattleScotch! Tomatin Second Edition. Or the TwoMaytin Edition. You know what that means! It means we’re almost done this month & can go back to our regularly scheduled random nonsense. […]
