Usquaebach Old-Rare blended Scotch Whisky
I’ll be honest with you, the reason why I tried this whisky was because of the name. I saw it in the Scotch whisky list and since I had never heard about it, I wanted to see what it was all about. Usquaebach was first established in 1877 and today the brand is owned by…

Auchentoshan American Oak and the Highland Games in N.H.
It was extremely hard to get up for work this morning after spending what was a great weekend with my boyfriend and his family up in New Hampshire for the 40th Annual Highland Games. The festival was filled with music, games, events and most importantly, whisky tastings. Laphroaig and their North American Ambassador, Simon Brooking,…
