Thursday night while out for drinks with my boyfriend we spotted The Macallan 25 in the menu and we just had to try it. Macallan is a brand name everyone has heard off even if they aren’t fans of Scotch. Before I tell you about my experience with this 25 year-old whisky, you must know…

Robin Tucek and John Lamond first established Blackadder in 1995. In 2000 they then started to offer their Raw Cask Series, which includes the whisky I am…
Talisker 57° North
What, the 1st day of September already, where has the summer gone? And I know, this post should have posted yesterday but I was feeling a bit under the weather so I took the afternoon to rest and get better. Today I am feeling loads better and am back at it with a whisky I…
Laphroaig 15 year-old Limited Edition
It was a weekend of celebrations! Not only was it my boyfriends birthday, but we also got a chance to spend time with two great friends before they move to Hawaii. Knowing this, I jumped at the chance of purchasing a new whisky when I saw Federal Wine and Spirits in Boston, had acquire a…

You wouldn’t know this, but I’ve sat here at work staring at my computer for nearly an hour. Don’t get me wrong, I am a hard worker it’s just that today is the first day we are hitting 80 degree weather this year here in Boston and I would so much rather be out there…
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…
Highland Park Dark Origins
If you follow my blog then you will know that I am a huge fan of the Highland Park brand so when I saw they had added a no-age-statement (NAS), Dark Origins, I definitely wanted to try it. I got a chance to try this NAS this past weekend while visiting Frank at the Last…
The Glenlivet 12 year-old
Even if you aren’t a whisky drinker I am certain that you’ve heard of The Glenlivet. It’s a classic, very well known brand that in my opinion new/first-time whisky drinkers first gravitate towards. No, this is not the first time I’ve written about The Glenlivet, but it is the first time I am posting about…
Talisker Storm
Yikes, if you live in Boston or the Northeast, the words being tossed around by meteorologists in your area include: blizzard, potential historic snow amounts (what??) and storm. My first thought was, Yes Snow Day! I get to work from home tomorrow and maybe even Wednesday, sweet, I’ll take it. I felt like a kid…
