The first time I heard of Glenlossie was when the dram I am writing about was placed in front of me to taste. It was a whisky that completely surprised, but before I fully begin to talk about Glenlossie I first need to mention The Maltman. The Maltman is a part of the Meadowside Blending…

Glenlivet 21 year-old Archive
Not too long ago I venture into a cigar bar in Boston’s North End. I am not a smoker, but I had never been to a cigar bar before and I wanted to see what a place like that was all about. For some reason I picture cigars and whisky going well together. After stepping…
Finding Ardbog
I know it’s been nearly 4 weeks since my last post. I took a little hiatus from writing but am back and wanted to share with everyone an absolutely amazing find I stumbled across during the 4th of July weekend. I first wrote about Ardbog by Ardbeg back in November of last year http://wp.me/p3Zt2k-1t. Although…
GlenDronach 17 year-old Pedro Ximenex Sherry Puncheon
A belated Happy Father’s Day to all father’s out there. If you happen to be a whisky lover then I am certain that a nice new bottle of whisky would have been the perfect gift to celebrate the day. Now, if you are still looking for a late gift to give to a dad, then…
Cadenhead Creations 20 year-old Sherry-Aged Blend
Happy start of the World Cup day! If you are as much a sports fan as I am, then my eyes as well as yours will all be on Brazil for the next month or so. As excited as I am about the World Cup, I am also excited to be talking about a 20…
Longrow Red 11 year-old Australian Shiraz Casks Limited Edition
When I think of peated scotch, I always think of Islay. I am an absolute sucker for smoky, peaty single malts and Islay is frankly known for them. When I heard Campbeltown’s Longrow single malt was just as peaty, you better believe I wanted to try it and judge for myself. SPOILER ALERT: It is…
Pappy Meal – Old Rip Van Winkle 10 year
I felt like a kid in a candy store when I first walked into Citizen Public House for their Pappy Meal Monday. It is moments like these that remind me of one of the reasons why I started this blog, and that was to have fun. You better believe that I had fun with this…
Eagle Rare 17 year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
A week ago we found ourselves again, sitting on a bar stool at the Last Hurrah when we realized that we had always just gone there for their single malt list and never their bourbon. We asked Frank if he had any good bourbons and he laughed at us. He then came back with a…
Twenty Boat – Spice Rum
No it’s not a mistake, this whisky blogger is actually going to write about rum today. This isn’t just any rum, I was born in Puerto Rico and this island girl not only loves her rum but I also know good rum. For me to write about rum not coming from the Caribbean because it…
Elijah Craig 21 year-old
The minute the bartender said she had 21 year-old bourbon I was sold. I don’t have bourbon this old often, so I had to have it. This was my first introduction to the 21 year-old Elijah Craig and I was certainly happy to make its acquaintance. Since having a dram I have learned that this…
Wild Turkey Spiced Bourbon
This upcoming Memorial Day weekend marks the last day of spring turkey hunting season. Now I am assuming that you wouldn’t know that unless you are hunter and no, I am not a hunter. I only know this because my boyfriend sent me a text message saying that it was fitting we drank Wild Turkey…
Talisker Distillers Edition – Distilled in 2002 and bottled in 2013
While we were in the west coast of France earlier this month, we arrived at our host’s father’s house and waiting for us was a massive sea food spread he had prepared. I enjoy sea food, but there are something’s I stay away from. Snails (never had then before but didn’t look appetizing) and oysters…
