The minute the bartender said she had 21 year-old bourbon I was sold. I don’t have bourbon this old often, so I had to have it. This was my first introduction to the 21 year-old Elijah Craig and I was certainly happy to make its acquaintance. Since having a dram I have learned that this…

Wild Turkey Spiced Bourbon
This upcoming Memorial Day weekend marks the last day of spring turkey hunting season. Now I am assuming that you wouldn’t know that unless you are hunter and no, I am not a hunter. I only know this because my boyfriend sent me a text message saying that it was fitting we drank Wild Turkey…
McCarthy’s Oregon Single Malt Whiskey
Naturally, being a huge single malt fan, when the Sweet Cheeks Q bartender said she had a really good single malt whiskey from Oregon, I laughed. Although on my list of states to visit, I have never been to Oregon before and didn’t think single malt whiskeys was something they’d be good at. One of…
Hudson Whiskey – Manhattan Rye
Since prohibition, Hudson Whiskey is the first whiskey distillery to open its doors in New York. Although Tuthilltown Gristmill was initially purchased in 2001 to serve as a rock climber’s ranch it was whiskey that later came out of there a few years later. One of the first things that captured me about Hudson Whiskey…
Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Whiskey
Happy first day of spring! Lucky for us, it supposed to hit mid-50 today. Yes I am extremely happy about that, this Caribbean born gal is definitely looking forward to some nicer warm weather. The thought of warm weather makes me smile as much as the thought of an Angel’s Share when it comes to…
Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Bourbon
I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t mind if one day a whisky or bourbon was name after me. Maybe I will work on making sure that happens in the future but in the meantime I’ll talk about a bourbon named after a person who helped shape the Buffalo Trace Distillery, Elmer T. Lee….
Wasmund’s Single Malt Whisky
If you’ve read my posts before then you’ll know that I’ve said, the difference between whisky and whiskey is really the spelling and the word itself denotes the place where the whisky or whiskey comes from. The United States and Ireland are the only two countries that label their whiskey with an “e”. All other…
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…
