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…

Jameson 18 year-old Limited Reserve.
Sorry for the late post. Weekends do go by way too fast, and as it’s a holiday here, I’ve been running some errands. While doing a search through my posts I realized I have yet to write about Jameson, so for this post I am going to stick with the Irish whiskey theme for another…
Coquito – Puerto Rican Eggnog
Merry Christmas and best wishes on whatever holiday you celebrate. Being the holidays today I am going to write a special blog post about a Puerto Rican Christmas drink that is traditional served during the holidays. As some of you may know, I was born in Puerto Rico and my mom absolutely loves coquito, so…

Very Special Old Fitzgerald 12 year-old straight bourbon whiskey
Had I walked into a liquor store and seen Old Fitzgerald I am not sure it would have been a bottle I would have picked up or even glanced at. A friend of my boyfriend introduced me to Old Fitzgerald 12, and even when he showed us the bottle I didn’t think much of it….
Highland Park 12 year-old
I fell in love with Highland Park when I first tasted their 30 year-old expression and got a chance to try Cadenheads 25 year-old Highland Park expression. Those two whiskies without a doubt are two of the best I’ve tasted. If you have not read any of my links above on Highland Park, I’ll give…

Apple Cider Whiskey (Angel’s Envy)/Rum (Twenty Boat) Cocktail (Video Blog)

Nikka – Taketsuru 12 year-old Pure Malt
It was back in February of this year that I was first introduced to the Japanese whisky, Nikka Coffey Grain and let me tell you, Japanese whiskies still continue to impress me. The Nikka Coffey Grain is by far one of my favorite Japanese whiskies, however most recently I had the 12 year-old Taketsuru Pure…
Triple Smoke – Corsair Distillery
What does the way you walk say about you? To be honest, I have no idea what my walk says about me, but if a study was done on the way the three guys on the Triple Smoke bottle walked, I bet it would say that those guys are pretty cool dudes. I’ll be honest;…
Gordon & MacPhail Series Post 1 of 6: Scapa 10 year-old
Nearly two weeks ago my boyfriend and I attended a Gordon & Macphail (G&M) tasting led by their lead importer Gary Kiemach at Federal Wine and Spirits here in Boston. We got a chance to taste six of their whiskies and I thought I would write about them in a series form, starting with the 10…
