Here’s a brand I’ve been enjoying for less than a year and it’s already a favorite. This bottling I’ve been seeking for a while and finally found it at Norfolk Wine and Spirits in MA. Before I get into a review let me tell you, Norfolk Wine and Spirits is hands down one of my…

Elijah Craig – Toasted Barrel
Here’s one of those whiskies we would always search for but could never find. Until we visited friends in Virginia. We not only got a chance to taste it but also got to take home the bottle (Thanks Kevin A). For this expression, Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon is used as the base. After the…
Ardbeg Traigh Bahn 19-Year-Old Small Batch: Batch TB/02-18.09.00/20.JT

Bowmore Small Batch Single Malt
Bowmore has always had a special place in my heart. It’s the very first Scotch I ever fell in love with. I have a list of favorites now, but I think you never truly forget that first whisky that made you smile. I don’t think I have ever tasted a Bowmore whisky that I have…
