There is no better way to enjoy your weekend and beat the cold than by going out and enjoying a nice dram. That is exactly what we did this past Saturday. You might already know this about me, but Citizens Public House and Oyster Bar is one of the places in the greater Boston area…

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…
Dimple Pinch 15 year-old
Monday is here already, but where did the weekend go? Unfortunately I am completely unprepared for it and I am sadly posting late, my apologies. Now in a “pinch” to write my post, I found a great blended whisky to talk about and that is, Dimple Pinch 15… yes, pun intended. I am not entirely…
Wasmund’s Single Malt Whisky
If you’ve read my posts before then you’ll know that I’ve said, the difference between whisky and whiskey is really the spelling and the word itself denotes the place where the whisky or whiskey comes from. The United States and Ireland are the only two countries that label their whiskey with an “e”. All other…
Yamazaki 12 year-old
This past weekend to help kick off our three day weekend because of Martin Luther King Day, we headed down to the Cape to visit friends and to try out a new whisky bar called Oak and Ember in Mashpee, Ma. Anytime I hear whisky bar I am all about trying it out and seeing…
Hot Toddy to beat a head cold
I wanted to change things up this week and post a video blog. It’s been really cold this winter here in the Greater Boston area, where I live. Most of my friends have gotten sick and actually not too long ago I myself came down with a cold. My boyfriend made me a hot toddy…
Glenfiddich 15 year-old
Happy New Year! I think there is no better way to kick off 2014 here in the east coast than with a nice good old snow storm. Unfortunately I am still in the office working so hopefully I’ll get to leave before it get’s bad out there. If you are lucky to still be on…
Aberlour A’Bunadh Cask Strength
Back to work already, were does the time go!!!! It’s always hard to get back into the swing of things after a holiday. If you are one of those folks back at work already after the holiday, then I share your pain. Hopefully you all had a wonderful holiday, as I did! Before all the…
Dewar’s White Label (blended Scotch whisky)
Whether you are a Scotch whisky drinker or not, I am certain you might have seen the major advertising campaign by Dewar’s Scotch Whisky. Some of the ads are certainly in poor taste. I first tried Dewar’s a couple years ago. To refresh my memory last night I got a mini bottle to make sure…
Talisker 10-year-old
Stormy is the word that first comes to mind when I think and drink Tasliker 10. It is fitting since our forecasters are calling for a wintery mix here in New England this weekend. Since it will be blustery (a word that for some reason always reminds me of Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh, sadly)…
Monkey Shoulder Blended Scotch Malt Whisky
If you are like me, when presented with a scotch menu listing a Scotch named Monkey Shoulder, then you are going to want to try it. Intrigued by the name, I learned from their website, http://www.monkeyshoulder.com/about/ that the name stems from a condition their maltmen at times got after working long shifts turning the barley…
Glenmorangie: The Original and Quinta Ruban
With so many options out there for whisky it’s always hard to know which ones you are actually going to like and not like if you’ve never tried them before. If I am out for dinner or out in the city, I always look at the list of whisky, whiskey and bourbons, if there is…
