My gift guide is here and you know what, this post is special. It’s my 200th blog post! If you aren’t familiar with my blog I purchase every single whiskey, whisky and bourbon I have featured in this blog. I have been honest about my opinion without any biased. It’s hard work and it costs…

The Irishman Founders Reserve
As there will only be 12 days till Christmas after today, I was going to load my gift guide post however, I could not very well do that before posting a write up about The Irishman Founders Reserve. The reason being, well… spoiler alert, it made my gift guide and I just had to write…
Jameson Caskmates Irish Whiskey
What happens when whiskey meets craft stout? Jameson Caskmates is what happens. This concept came about after a conversation between the Jameson head distiller and the Cork’s Franciscan Well Brewery head brewer. Jameson agreed to send some whiskey barrels over to the brewery for them to age their stout and then the brewery sent those…
Chivas Regal Extra and 18 year-old
I’m a bit late with my post today and I am sorry about that, it has been a busy start of the week with Thanksgiving just a few days away. I recently got the chance to taste two whiskies from the Chivas range, Chivas Regal Extra (newest member of their range) and Chivas Regal 18…
Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof
Colonel E.H. Taylor is just one of the many brands under Buffalo Trace. The brand is named after former Buffalo Trace owner Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. This whiskey is uncut, unfiltered and bottled at more than 125 proof. For those that don’t know, barrel proof is the equivalent of cask strength. This means that the…
The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve
The Glenlivet 12 year-old is one of my go to everyday drinking whiskies. The name Glenlivet speaks for itself. So when I heard that Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve is slowly replacing the 12 year-old, I was taken a back. No, this is not a Halloween prank (for those that didn’t know), it’s happening. Founder’s Reserve was…
Parker’s Heritage Collection 24 year-old bourbon limited release edition
In it’s 10th edition, Heaven Hill Distillery released this 24 year-old bourbon, which pays homage to sixth-generation Master Distiller Parker Beam. Not only does it pay homage to him, but Heaven Hill also donates portions of the proceeds made from the bottles to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, research and…
Tasty and Affordable Rye: Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye
When I think of rye whisky, Crown Royal is definitely not a brand I think about. That changed this past weekend when in conversation with Frank from the Omni Parker. He shared with us that his current favorite rye was Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye. I think both my boyfriend and I laughed when we…
Women Who Whiskey – Boston Chapter
One of the scariest things to do, in my opinion, is to attend an event where no one knows your name. Walking into my first Women Who Whiskey event was terrifying. The room was full of women in conversation, they were laughing and having a good time. In a bit of a panic I began…
Copperworks – American Single Malt Whiskey
I stumbled across Copperworks distillery while in Seattle, Washington on a layover to Hawaii with my boyfriend. When I saw it had a tasting room at the distillery, I knew we were going to walk in. They sadly didn’t have a whiskey for us to taste, but the minute the guy mentioned they were working…
The Glenrothes: Bourbon Cask,Vintage and Sherry Cask Reserve
Glenrothes is a Speyside whisky I have never written about so when I saw a trio sample of their Bourbon Cask Reserve, Vintage Reserve and Sherry Cask Reserve, buying it was a no brainer. And if you think you’ve never tried anything from them either but have tried Cutty Sark before, then you’ve tried it……
Westland Peated American Single Malt Whiskey
I am always in search of American distilleries trying to match the peat in Scotch whiskies. Put an American peated whiskey in front of me and I’m going to want to taste it. This was the case when my favorite bartender Joe at the Omni Parker brought out Westland Peated American Single Malt Whiskey to…
