While we were in the west coast of France earlier this month, we arrived at our host’s father’s house and waiting for us was a massive sea food spread he had prepared. I enjoy sea food, but there are something’s I stay away from. Snails (never had then before but didn’t look appetizing) and oysters…

Glenmorangie The Lasanta
I was first introduced to Glenmorangie, a highland whisky, by my friend Fiona. Glenmorangie The Original happens to be one of her favorite whiskies (http://wp.me/p3Zt2k-1H). Not too long ago a friend hosted a party and I was introduced to another Glenmorangie whisky, in this case, Glenmorangie Lasanta. Lasanta, Gaelic for warmth and passion per the…
Oban Distillers Edition (Distilled 2003 | Bottled in 2017)
We didn’t purchase this bottle, we commandeered it from a friend. Don’t worry, they know we took it and now, we get to enjoy this deliciousness. The Oban distillery is in the town of Oban, nestled on the West Coast of Scotland and looks out to the Scottish Isles. You can say this expression was influenced…
Highland Park 30 year-old
There was just one finger left and I was extremely excited to have been the one to get it. I was taught to share as a kid, but with just one finger left I was not sharing this Highland Park 30 with anyone. I got this last finger courtesy of Frank at The Last Hurrah….
Age-Statement and No-Age-Statement (NAS)
A majority of whisky drinkers will tell you they know what no-age-statement (NAS) whiskies are and will probably also tell you exactly how they feel about it. It is a subject that has certainly sparked debate within the whisky community. NAS whisky is not something new; however it is a process that has become widely…
Caol Ila 1998 Port Wood Gordon and MacPhail
I am feeling a bit under the weather so unfortunately I am running behind on my post, for that I am sorry. I am however excited to talk about an amazing Scotch today. Caol Ila (pronounced col eela) means “Sound” in Gaelic. This scotch, which I really happen to enjoy is from Islay. The Caol…
Whisky-a-LoLo (Auchentoshan) Video Blog
Spring may be three days away but winter just simply doesn’t want to go away and I feel like I’ve just had about enough of it. If you live in a state that has seen this brutal winter, then you understand. No better way to pretend it’s nice and warm outside than, enjoying a nice…
Cadenhead Small Batch 1988 Highland Park 25 years
I am certain many of you might have heard of Highland Park, but if you are not much of a whisky drinker maybe you don’t know about Cadenhead. Cadenhead is very similar to Ducan Taylor and Gordon & MacPhail; they are independent bottling companies. Most often than not, a lot of these independent bottlers either…
Bowmore 18 years old
When I think of Bowmore, I think of the wonderful time I had during my last visit to Scotland. My first visit to Scotland was rather short, but it was on my 2nd visit that I got the chance to discover Bowmore and fall a bit in love with the city of Edinburgh. What it…
Auchentoshan Three Wood
When I first started writing my blog, one of the first whiskies I wrote about was Auchentoshan (pronounced ‘ock-un-tosh-un’) Classic, http://wp.me/p3Zt2k-7. If you read that post then you’ll know that I really enjoyed the Classic. I also have a bottle in my whisky collection. Looking to try more of the Auchentoshan range, I very recently…
Arran Malt Sauternes Cask Finish and Citizens Whisky Club
There is no better way to enjoy your weekend and beat the cold than by going out and enjoying a nice dram. That is exactly what we did this past Saturday. You might already know this about me, but Citizens Public House and Oyster Bar is one of the places in the greater Boston area…
Yamazaki 12 year-old
This past weekend to help kick off our three day weekend because of Martin Luther King Day, we headed down to the Cape to visit friends and to try out a new whisky bar called Oak and Ember in Mashpee, Ma. Anytime I hear whisky bar I am all about trying it out and seeing…
