Well, hello Fall! I know, it’s been a while since I’ve posted, the hot weather contributed to my lack of inspiration. But we are back with a quick whiskey cocktail perfect for this time of year. My husband recently brought home a bottle of Baileys Cinnamon Churros. This is by far, the best Baileys Irish…

Isle of Skye Whisky 12 Year
At first glance, you’ll wonder, did a new distillery open on Isle of Skye? Currently, Talisker and Torabhaig are the only two distilleries to inhabit the island. This brand doesn’t trace back to either of them. It’s a brand put out by Ian Macleod distillers, which is one of Scotland’s independent bottlers. So no, not…
Watertown Coconut Whiskey
It’s summer and honestly, it’s hot outside. Whiskey is not what I gravitate to on a warm day, but Coconut Whiskey, come on now, that is summer in a bottle screaming come drink me… so we did. Watertown Whiskey was created by Mikey Bortone who appeared on the show Survivor. That’s where he found his…
An Evening with Laphroaig
As you’re all aware, Islay whiskies are my all-time favorite to imbibe! Laphroaig, however, holds a very special place in my heart, it’s the very first distillery I visited when I finally made the pilgrimage to Islay. Every year on our wedding anniversary my husband and I enjoy a dram of Laphroaig’s 2005 Vintage Cask…
Tip Top Proper Cocktails
The warmer it gets outside the less whisky I drink. Fear not, it’s still chilly in Massachusetts but we recently saw these little ready-made cocktails and I couldn’t help but get them. I purchased the Manhattan and the Old Fashioned at $4.99 each. I only purchased one can of each, but you can purchase an…

Nose: sweet, maple and cinnamonPalate: maple syrup, cinnamon and spicesFinish: sweet with a light burnABV: 35%Cost: $25 OK, so a word…

My husband and I attended a whiskey tasting event (which we paid to attend) at Julio’s Liquors this past weekend and this brand made its very first appearance. The brand falls under the LHK…
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…
Dewar’s Cask Finish Collection Aged 8 Years: Japanese Smooth, French Cask Smooth, and Caribbean Smooth
OK, if you follow me, you already know I’m not a huge fan of Dewar’s. However, I’m still going to continue and try their brand to see if one day, I eventually like one of their expressions. Here we have a three pack. Each bottle in this discovery set is 375 ml and I purchased…
Hudson Whiskey NY
Back in August my Husband and I had a chance to visit Hudson Whiskey (Tuthilltown Spirits Distillery) tucked away in Gardiner, NY. We passed on the tour (because if you’ve done one distillery tour, you’ve done them all) and went straight to the bar and sampled their whiskey. Hudson Whiskey is owned by Scottish Independent…
Aged and Ore Bottle Flight
And just like that, we are already in July which means Christmas is 6 months away. So, let me start early with the gift giving ideas. Last week, during the 4th, we visited our friends Sara and Jeff in Virginia to celebrate a career milestone for Jeff. During that visit, another friend, Kevin who lives…
