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 […]
Oh America. You are in a world of shit these days. Covid, police brutality, protests, that guy you elected, that website he likes, that website he hates, and we’re heading […]
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 […]
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. […]
Here we go, third and final Twomatronic entry: Tomatin Cask Strength Bourbon & Sherry Casks! We’re in the home stretch now! Best part is even the Throwback Thursdays are stuck […]
Second bottle out of the box, second week of Twomatin – Tomatin 14y Port Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky. We’ve had a lot of Tomatins already so let’s just jump […]
May is Twomatin month, or the second Tomatin month, which I guess we could have also called ToMaytin now that I think about it a little bit longer. No worries, […]
Aw yeah, another whole month with the same whisky, and a second time! May is Tomatin Month 2, come on back every Saturday for the same superficial analysis and redundant […]
And finally, as a last hurrah for the Glengoyne Discovery Gift Taste Sampler Set Collection we come to the traditional BattleScotch!, to be observed WITH the camelcase AND the punctuation […]
I know, I know. It’s 4/20. It’s the first 4/20 since legalization. I was in a band with a song called four20. Where is the weed whisky or ihash.ca or […]
Our second swing at the Glengoyne Gift Collection is the 15y. Glengoyne suggest a rather elaborate range of flavours are present in this dram, I’m not so sure. The label […]
Glengoyne! A highland Single Malt Scotch that we’ve only seen a little of before. A quirk of geography puts the Glengoyne stills in the Highlands while the maturing happens all […]
Coming up! A whole month of Glengoyne! Stayed tuned for 3 reviews and a good ol’ BattleScotch! WOO!
Putting a new country on the board is always fun – Juraj Dobrila Single Barrel Malt Viski from Croatia! Thanks to Steph for checking a bag to bring this home. […]
When a lovely birthday present isn’t a lovely whisky – Thanks Steph! Caribou Crossing Single Barrel whisky – a birthday gift that has turned into a bit of a public […]
Highland Park Magnus. Big dark bottle, cool.. uh.. dragon.. wolfy sort of logo. Classic Highland Park. And by “classic” Highland Park I mean this truism: the less you pay for […]
Aw yiss. A classic of the form. One of the pantheon. A real… thing of the… stuff. Lagavulin 8y. We’ve had exactly one Lagavulin before because they are prized, rare […]
