One of the scariest things to do, in my opinion, is to attend an event where no one knows your name. Walking into my first Women Who Whiskey event was terrifying. The room was full of women in conversation, they were laughing and having a good time. In a bit of a panic I began…

Cadenhead Glenallachie-Glenlivet 20 year-old
Sleepy is the word I used to describe how I felt this Monday morning after the daylight savings time moved our clocks one hour ahead. Before I find myself falling asleep and possibly drooling at my desk I’ll share my Cadenhead Glenallachie-Glenlivet 20 year-old post. The Glenallachie-Glenlivet distillery was founded in 1967. The distillery is…
Old St. Andrews Clubhouse blended Scotch whisky
Not too long ago while out shopping with my boyfriend, he spotted a miniature bottle of Old St. Andrews Clubhouse blended whisky and off course, he bought it for me so I can write about it. One of my boyfriends dream is to one-day play golf with his buddies at the St. Andrews Golf Course…

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…
Johnnie Walker Blue Label
Although I’ve been drinking whisky for quite some time now, I can recall that even before I started drinking, I knew and had heard about Johnnie Walter. It wasn’t till later on in my whisky drinking years that I eventually came to learn about their blue label. For all my non whisky drinkers if you…
