Happy first day of spring! Lucky for us, it supposed to hit mid-50 today. Yes I am extremely happy about that, this Caribbean born gal is definitely looking forward to some nicer warm weather. The thought of warm weather makes me smile as much as the thought of an Angel’s Share when it comes to…

Whisky-a-LoLo (Auchentoshan) Video Blog
Spring may be three days away but winter just simply doesn’t want to go away and I feel like I’ve just had about enough of it. If you live in a state that has seen this brutal winter, then you understand. No better way to pretend it’s nice and warm outside than, enjoying a nice…
Cadenhead Small Batch 1988 Highland Park 25 years
I am certain many of you might have heard of Highland Park, but if you are not much of a whisky drinker maybe you don’t know about Cadenhead. Cadenhead is very similar to Ducan Taylor and Gordon & MacPhail; they are independent bottling companies. Most often than not, a lot of these independent bottlers either…
Rob Roy Cocktail – Video Blog
If you’ve ever wondered what the difference is between a Rob Roy and a Manhattan it’s all in the liquor. A Rob Roy if made with a Scotch while a Manhattan is usually made with a Rye Whiskey. Very recently I discovered that Whisky Magazine had whisky cocktail recipes on their site (http://www.whiskymag.com/cocktails/). This is…
Amrut Fusion Single Malt Whisky
Not too long ago a college friend, who also loves whisky and bourbon, told me about Amrut. He had tried it and recommended. He shared with me that he thought it was fantastic. While out last night for a drink with my boyfriend I saw it listed in the whisky list and had to try…
Bowmore 18 years old
When I think of Bowmore, I think of the wonderful time I had during my last visit to Scotland. My first visit to Scotland was rather short, but it was on my 2nd visit that I got the chance to discover Bowmore and fall a bit in love with the city of Edinburgh. What it…
Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Bourbon
I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t mind if one day a whisky or bourbon was name after me. Maybe I will work on making sure that happens in the future but in the meantime I’ll talk about a bourbon named after a person who helped shape the Buffalo Trace Distillery, Elmer T. Lee….
Kilchoman Machir Bay
Before having seen Kilchoman listed in the single malt list I had not heard much about this distillery till after having tasted it. An Islay whisky, the Kilchoman (pronounced Kilhoman) distillery is a fairly young distillery. It was first established back in 2005 and it was the first distillery to have opened its door on…
Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky
In my Japanese whisky tasting experience, Nikka Coffey Grain whisky is only the third Japanese whisky I have sampled. I got the opportunity to taste this whisky after ordering a Japanese whisky flight while out with friends. Nikka is a big Japanese whisky producer which first established its distillery in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru. Taketsuru…
Auchentoshan Three Wood
When I first started writing my blog, one of the first whiskies I wrote about was Auchentoshan (pronounced ‘ock-un-tosh-un’) Classic, http://wp.me/p3Zt2k-7. If you read that post then you’ll know that I really enjoyed the Classic. I also have a bottle in my whisky collection. Looking to try more of the Auchentoshan range, I very recently…
Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Surprise!! It’s yet another snowstorm hitting the east coast as well as many other states. Although it will be fun trying to make my way home from the office this evening, what keeps me excited at the moment is knowing that I will be going to France in a couple of months with a friend….
Non-Traditional Manhattan (Video blog)
Not too long ago I went to Trader Joe’s and realized that they actually make their own whisky. Who knew?? I off course wanted to try it to see how well they did. The bottle I got is blended, matured and bottled in Scotland for Trader Joe’s. They also have two other whiskies that are…
