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…

Mad River – Bourbon Whiskey
Yesterday evening, after a long day at the beach, slightly sun drunk and with sand still on our feet, we walked into the South End Whole Foods to pick up groceries for dinner. It was definitely not our intention to stop and drink, but how could we not when a Vermont distillery was offering samples…
Lagavulin 12 YO (2014 Special Release)
A couple weeks ago I wrote about Lagavulin 8 years, so I thought it fitting to write about the 12 year-old 2014 special release this week since I’ve never written about it before and it’s a newly acquire whisky bottle that was added to my collection. The Lagavulin 12 year-old 2014 special release is the…
Bowmore 17 YO White Sands
I think I say this all the time but I will say it again, Bowmore has always had a special place in my heart. It was the first single malt I tasted when I began venturing into Scotch and it was also the first Scotch I fell in love with. No surprise that I picked…
Boozy Milkshake with Wathen’s Bourbon
Ok so it hasn’t been an extremely hot summer so far, but even so, there are times when you may want something to cool you down and you want that something to include bourbon. Here’s a short and sweet recipe to a boozy milkshake I think you might like. I made these milkshakes last night…
