You wouldn’t know this, but I’ve sat here at work staring at my computer for nearly an hour. Don’t get me wrong, I am a hard worker it’s just that today is the first day we are hitting 80 degree weather this year here in Boston and I would so much rather be out there…

Great King Street – Artist’s Blend Blended Scotch
I don’t always seek out blended Scotches. Most of the time I try a brand mainly in part to a recommendation that has been made, and that is exactly how I came to try Great King Street – Artist’s Blend Blended Scotch. After stopping by for a quick bite at Nebo restaurant in Boston the bartender (I believe…
Teeling Small Batch Whiskey
It’s Marathon Monday in Boston and the city is buzzing even though it’s a chilly rainy day. I do love seeing all the runners and the tourists in the city this time of year especially after what happened two years ago with the Boston Marathon bombing. Good luck to all the runners and if you…
Booker’s Small Batch Bourbon
Happy Monday! Wishing you all had a wonderful weekend whether you were out celebrating a religious holiday or maybe crying because your NCAA March Madness bracket was officially busted (no judgment here folks, I too cried). The first time I ever tried Booker’s, produced by Jim Beam, was on my first trip to Las Vegas,…
Kavalan Solist Cask Strength ex-Bourbon Cask whisky
I am not a person who immediately jumps on the bandwagon of anything and definitely not when it comes to sports. You are talking to someone who commits to the team she is rooting for from beginning to end. So much so, that last year during the 2014 World Cup I cried, I mean really…
Edradour Barolo Cask Matured (distilled 2006 and bottled in 2014)
Although I have mentioned Edradour in my blog before, I have never officially written about an Edradour tasting. So, I am kicking off the week with a distillery I’ve not officially written about. Edradour is known as one of Scotland’s smallest distillery. It’s a highland single malt that was first established in 1825. In 1982,…
Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey
Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day so it’s fitting that today I write about an Irish whiskey I had not tasted till about a couple weeks ago. Kilbeggan has been on my radar for a while so when I attended Julio’s Liquor Store, Go! Whisk(e)y Weekend 2015 a couple of weeks ago and saw it there,…
Cadenhead Glenallachie-Glenlivet 20 year-old
Sleepy is the word I used to describe how I felt this Monday morning after the daylight savings time moved our clocks one hour ahead. Before I find myself falling asleep and possibly drooling at my desk I’ll share my Cadenhead Glenallachie-Glenlivet 20 year-old post. The Glenallachie-Glenlivet distillery was founded in 1967. The distillery is…
Highland Park Dark Origins
If you follow my blog then you will know that I am a huge fan of the Highland Park brand so when I saw they had added a no-age-statement (NAS), Dark Origins, I definitely wanted to try it. I got a chance to try this NAS this past weekend while visiting Frank at the Last…
The Glenlivet 12 year-old
Even if you aren’t a whisky drinker I am certain that you’ve heard of The Glenlivet. It’s a classic, very well known brand that in my opinion new/first-time whisky drinkers first gravitate towards. No, this is not the first time I’ve written about The Glenlivet, but it is the first time I am posting about…
Larceny Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
I’ve officially had it with all this snow! Over 9 feet of snow within the last few weeks makes me want to move to a nice tropical island. I however suspect we have not seen the last of the snow storms. During last weeks storm I wrote a review about a bourbon, I am going…
Knob Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon
My apologies for today’s late post and for not posting last week. These snow storms have been crazy! We’re getting another storm now as we speak. I am wondering if I somehow moved to Alaska without knowing it. The upside, whiskey is always perfect on days like these. Today I sampled a Knob Creek Kentucky…
