Not too long ago, I shared my thoughts on the Tree House Distillery Kola Coffee Liqueur, which I genuinely consider exceptional. So, when I spotted three additional flavors available in miniature bottles, there was really no question, I had to try them. I picked up the Liqueur Trio Gift Set, which includes three 200 mL…

Laphroaig Aged 33 Year Strong Characters Donald Johnston
I enjoy a good daily sipper as much as anyone, but what I love even more are those special whiskies reserved for meaningful moments—occasions you want not only to remember, but to honor with something truly exceptional. The Laphroaig 33-Year-Old Strong Characters: Donald Johnston just might be one of those whiskies. A few years ago,…
Rabbit Hole Dareringer Finished in PX Sherry Casks
Rabbit Hole isn’t a brand I’ve spent much time with—this is only the second expression I’ve tried after Boxergrail, which I surprisingly enjoyed despite being a rye. How does this one compare? Let’s dive in. Made from a mash bill of 65% corn, 25% wheat, and 10% malted barley, this whiskey is finished in PX…
Tullibardine Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Last night, I spent an incredible evening sampling Tullibardine expressions at Rozafa Mediterranean Restaurant in Quincy, MA graciously hosted by Prestige Beverage Group and Terroir Distillers. Before we talk whisky, let’s talk food—because it deserves the spotlight. Owner and chef Marlon Vila brings fresh ingredients and a true scratch-cooking philosophy to the table, with dishes…
Jameson 18-Year 46% ABV
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! To celebrate, I’m sticking with an Irish classic that everyone already knows and loves—Jameson. I’ve always been a fan of Jameson whiskey—it’s a staple on our shelves. Two of my go-to favorites are the smooth Triple Triple and the versatile Jameson Orange. So, when the chance came to sample their Jameson…
Dingle Distillery
With St. Patrick’s Day fast approaching, it’s time for another Irish whiskey spotlight—this time, Dingle. I’ve had the opportunity to taste their Single Malt, as well as the Lúnasa, Bealtaine, and Lá le Bríde expressions. Before we get into how they compare, here’s a little background on the distillery. The distillery began production in 2012…
The Citizen’s 3rd Annual Burns Night
My whiskey journey started many years ago, and throughout that time, Citizens has been one of our go‑to spots in Boston for trying new pours. We’ve been coming here since it first opened in 2010—back when it was Citizens Public House & Oyster Bar. It’s where I tried Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year for…
Smokeshow Mixology Cocktail Syrups
Instagram ads got me good. I stumbled across this company through an ad, and after dropping a small fortune on ready-to-drink Old Fashioneds, I had to find out—are their syrups really the secret to making the perfect one at home? I went all in with their Collector’s Bundle (plus the spoon). Inside are four 16…
Bruichladdich Organic 2003 Anns An T-Seann Doigh
Over Thanksgiving weekend, we had the chance to sample Bruichladdich Organic 2003 Anns An T-Seann Doigh—a whisky I’d never encountered before. ‘Anns An T-Seann Doigh’ translated from Gaelic as ‘in the traditional way.’ This was Bruichladdich’s first organic release, distilled in 2003 and bottled in 2009. It’s likely no longer available, but I couldn’t resist…
Ardbeg Anthology 14-Year: The Unicorn Tale
I’ve always been a big fan of Ardbeg—so much so that it was the very first distillery we visited on our trip to Scotland. That said, some of their recent releases haven’t quite hit the mark for me—not because of flavor, but because of price. There are exceptions, of course (BizarreBQ was fantastic and I…
Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Blackberry
If you’ve been following me, you know I reviewed Crown Royal Blackberry last year. So, when Jack Daniel’s dropped their Tennessee Blackberry, you already knew I had to give it a try. What really won me over was the fact that they offered it in a mini size—perfect for sampling without committing to a full…
Crown Royal Whisky Lemonade
Crown Royal has been in the ready-to-drink cocktail game for a while, but I recently discovered their Whisky Lemonade—and naturally, I had to give it a try to see if it could be my go-to refreshment on those hot summer days. The pack I picked up included four flavors: Peach, Lemon, Mango, and Blackberry. It…
