We are less than a week away from Father’s Day and if you don’t have a gift yet, help is here. Below are great whiskies I recommend for those whiskey loving dads. I’ve reviewed every single whiskey below and you will be able to find my review, both here on Instagram or on my Blog….

The GlenAllachie 15-Year-Old
Master Distiller Billy Walker, with over 50 years in the industry, is at the helm of this Speyside GlenAllachie Distillery after taking over the distillery in 2017. This expression, which happens to be my introduction to the distillery, was released in 2019 in addition to its core range. This one however, was finished off in…
The Glenlivet Twist and Mix Old Fashioned
Last week I reviewed The Glenlivet Twist and Mix New Manhattan. This week, let’s talk about their Old-Fashioned ready-made cocktail. Like the New Manhattan, twisting the cap releases a mixture that goes into the cocktail. The Old Fashioned is also a 375ml bottle at 40% ABV and retails for $21. This cocktail is not bad…
Aberlour A’Bunadh Cask Strength
Aberlour (meaning, the mouth of the chattering burn, in Gaelic) is a single malt brand I really enjoy. I’ve also sampled their A’Bunadh (meaning, of the origin, in Gaelic) Cask Strength before, however the one I previously had was 59.7% (you can find this review post here on my blog) while this one sits at…
Update: Highland Park Ice Edition 17 Year Single Malt
My husband and I have a pretty big whisky collection, so finishing a bottle of whisky takes us some time. I want to catalog our empties to see if the last sip was as enjoyable as the first. We received this Highland Park Ice Edition 17 Year Single Malt as a gift for my husband’s…
Buchanan’s Pineapple
Now this is a brand I walked by a million times and never even thought to even try. It wasn’t until recently that we got a chance to sample and well, I have thoughts. Buchanan’s is a blended Scotch that was launched in 1884 by James Buchanan. The idea was to create a smooth blend…
Ardbeg Anthology 13 Year: The Harpy’s Tale
Ardbeg is truly one of my favorite whisky brands. But, if I’m being truthful, the last couple years their products and their pricing have been a total miss for me. The only recent product I absolutely loved and was so surprised with was Ardbeg BizarreBQ. Here we have another release that yes, we paid way…
Johnnie Walker High Rye
Alright, when this first came out, I rolled my eyes because honestly, there are way too many ryes out there that are simply, how should I put it… crap! How does this one rate? Well, keep reading. This whisky is composed of 60% rye aged whisky matured in American oak barrels and includes whiskies from…
The Dalmore 14-Year
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of The Dalmore. I loved it so much, one of my husband’s Christmas presents last year was The Dalmore King Alexander III. It’s an exceptional juice but we know it’s extremely pricey. This 14-year whisky on the other hand is a bit more affordable and spoiler alert,…
The Dalmore King Alexander III
I’m a huge fan of Dalmore and Saturday night, while attending a tasting event,I got the chance to taste Dalmore’s King Alexander III. This tasting event was crowded but the minute I tried this, oh my goodness it was as if the room went quiet and sweet baby angels came down from the heavens and…
The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve
I recently purchased this mini bottle to avoid having to buy the big bottle. Honestly, I prefer to buy small bottles. They are cheaper and if I don’t like the juice, they don’t sit on our shelves. This whisky is for those who enjoy whisky on the sweeter side. Nose: sweetness and tropical fruitPalate: caramel,…
Ardbeg BizarreBQ
“Grilling meets distilling,” is the opening line on the back of the Ardbeg BizarreBQ bottle. Ardbeg’s Master Distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden teams up with Christian Stevenson (AKA DJ BBQ) to create this limited expression. Now honestly, this to me is the perfect bromance. Whisky smoke and smoked meats, might definitely, just be the perfect combo….
