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….
Ardbeg Uigeadail
My apologies for the late post!! My Monday was absolutely hectic after the Thanksgiving break so I am making up for it today with my post. Although it was wonderful to be with family and eat all that great food, I have to say that my absolute favorite moments of the whole holiday break were,…
The Balvenie DoubleWood 17 year-old
It’s the Monday before Thanksgiving and although I’m not entirely certain I’ve acquired all the ingredients I need for our Thursday meal, I am certain about the fact that the whisky I am going to talk about today, is absolutely fantastic. My first introduction to this brand was with their Balvenie PortWood 21 year-old. Balvenie…
WhistlePig 11 year-old Straight Rye TripleOne Whiskey
My introduction to WhistlePig was about a year ago with their 10 year-old whiskey and I searched high and low to get that one bottle. It took me a while to find a bottle because the product was extremely popular, but the search was definitely well worth it. To this day, I have a bottle…
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…

My apologies, I know I missed my regular Monday post. I was unfortunately feeling under the weather and it turned out to be a pretty busy day at work yesterday. I am making up for up by posting today and I am going to post my second post on my Gordon & MacPhail (G&M) whisky…
Apple Cider Whiskey (Angel’s Envy)/Rum (Twenty Boat) Cocktail (Video Blog)
Happy Halloween! If I haven’t mentioned this before, Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year. This year I wanted to do a video blog with a cocktail easy enough to be feature at any Halloween party. I used Angel’s Envy as the whiskey and Twenty Boat Amber for the rum 1st batch. I had…
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…
Octomore 06.1 – By Bruichladdich
Happy October and Happy Birthday to me! Needless to say October is my favorite time of year, not because it’s the month of my birth year but because of Halloween and fall. Friday night while having dinner with my great friend Melissa, I spotted a bottle of Octomore on the bar shelf. I immediately knew…
