Back to work already, were does the time go!!!! It’s always hard to get back into the swing of things after a holiday. If you are one of those folks back at work already after the holiday, then I share your pain. Hopefully you all had a wonderful holiday, as I did! Before all the…

Who am I? I am a girl whose drink of choice is whisky, loves football (and sports), bacon, beer and traveling. When looking at everything I love, whisky however stands out on top. There is no better way to pay homage and show my love for whisky than to write about it from a different medium, a girl’s perspective. So here goes nothing!
Dewar’s White Label (blended Scotch whisky)
Whether you are a Scotch whisky drinker or not, I am certain you might have seen the major advertising campaign by Dewar’s Scotch Whisky. Some of the ads are certainly in poor taste. I first tried Dewar’s a couple years ago. To refresh my memory last night I got a mini bottle to make sure…
Willett Single Barrel Rye Whiskey
Since I didn’t like the last American Whiskey I wrote about, Rogue Dead Guy Whiskey http://wp.me/p3Zt2k-3n I wanted to give you all something American that I did in fact enjoy and made me smile this past week. Last Friday was an extremely cold day in Boston. After work we went into Sweet Cheeks Q for…
Rogue Dead Guy Whiskey
There I was out on a Friday night at a bar with a Rogue Dead Guy in hand. Now before you jump into any conclusions I am talking about the whiskey and not an actual guy. After having enjoyed a smooth Willett single barrel (rye), there was no way I could leave the bar without…
Talisker 10-year-old
Stormy is the word that first comes to mind when I think and drink Tasliker 10. It is fitting since our forecasters are calling for a wintery mix here in New England this weekend. Since it will be blustery (a word that for some reason always reminds me of Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh, sadly)…
Monkey Shoulder Blended Scotch Malt Whisky
If you are like me, when presented with a scotch menu listing a Scotch named Monkey Shoulder, then you are going to want to try it. Intrigued by the name, I learned from their website, http://www.monkeyshoulder.com/about/ that the name stems from a condition their maltmen at times got after working long shifts turning the barley…
Basil Hayden’s Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
It’s the season of holiday parties and social gatherings and not too long ago I attended high tea with a group of co-workers for a special occasion. The tea I got was enjoyable but on the spicy side. As I drank it I smiled and in my head thought I said, this tea is spicy…
The Glenlivet Nadurra 16 year old Cask Strength
Back to the daily grind I go, after the holiday, feeling a few pounds heavier and somewhat broke after the sale weekend shopping. I will fight all temptations and will try to refrain from participating in Cyber Monday. If you however can’t, I wanted to give you another whisky to consider if you are looking…
Bruichladdich 19 year-old Cask Strength
It was not too long ago that I wrote about Bruichladdich Rocks; actually it was this very month on Nov-04. I wouldn’t have written so quickly about it again, however I feel it’s a must. Now that the pumpkin, sweet potato, and apple pies are done I can concentrate on this weeks post, Bruichladdich 19,…
Glenmorangie: The Original and Quinta Ruban
With so many options out there for whisky it’s always hard to know which ones you are actually going to like and not like if you’ve never tried them before. If I am out for dinner or out in the city, I always look at the list of whisky, whiskey and bourbons, if there is…
Maker’s Mark
Amazing how time flies, in just about two weeks Thanksgiving will be upon us. As we get closer to the day, I am sure we all stop to think about all the things that we are thankful for. For me, aside from being thankful for my family, friends, career and roof over my head, I…
Ardbog (From Ardbeg)
NOTE: First and foremost, thank you to all those soldiers and sailors (past and present) in the armed forces who dedicate their lives to protecting their countries. Cheers and Happy Veterans Day! A little over a week ago my boyfriend and I went out to The Last Hurrah here in Boston. It’s a spot we…
