If you are wondering where exactly the Isle of Harris is, well, it’s in the Outer Hebrides and even though I’ve been to Scotland, I still had to Google the location. The distillery first opened in Fall of 2015 and although they are working on a single malt, the first product out the door is…
WhistlePig Piggyback Barrel Aged Rye Smash

X by Glenmorangie
If someone were to ask me if they could use my scotches for cocktail mixing I’d really have to think about.

We discovered this little gem right before the New Year when our friend Matt mentioned it and immediately we were off to find it. The Shed Distillery is located in Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim,…
Sour Vodka Cocktail
After a recent grocery shop I realized I had limited space in the freezer and needed to make room. One of the things that had to go, the vodka we kept there. The minute I said this to my boyfriend he took it as a challenge to drink it. I took it as a challenge…
