In a previous post, I mentioned that Westland is not only a great American whiskey brand but also one of my favorites. So, let me follow up with another option in their range, Colere 2nd Edition. This whiskey is made with Talisman, a grain that is a 2-row winter variety from none other than Maris…

Glen Moray Sampler Review
The warmer it gets outside, the less I want to drink whisky, so I saw this sampler and thought it would be better than buying full bottles. Plus, I wasn’t sure I was going to like them, but spoiler alert, they were way better than I thought. Elgin Classic: smooth, simple, vanilla and honey. It’s…

Highland Park 15 Year Viking Heart
I’m a huge fan of Highland Park. So much so, that when my husband and I went to Scotland it was one of the distilleries we visited and what a trip it was. The original Highland Park 15 was discontinued in 2016. In 2021 we got this little gem, Highland Park 15 Year Viking Heart….
M&H Single Cask STR bottled for Impex Beverages
M&H has quickly become one of my favorite brands. Their Pomegranate Wine Cask is still hands down one of my all-time favorite whiskies. If I find it, I simply buy it. This STR (Shaving, Toasting, and Re-charring the cask) isn’t replacing my love for the Pomegranate Cask but it was still great enough for us…
West Cork Glengarriff Series Peat Charred Cask
This is one of two bottles in the Glengarriff Series. You can find my review of the second bottle, Bog Oak Charred Cask, right here on my blog. The Peat Charred Cask is triple distilled, matured in sherry casks and finished in peat charred casks for another 4-6 months. The peat is harvested from the…
Westland Solum 1st Edition
Westland is one of my favorite distilleries. They are doing things no other US distilleries have ventured to do. Last month they released their 1st Edition of Solum (SOLE-LUM) which is part of their Outpost Range and the name is the Latin word for “soil”. Instead of going to Scotland to acquire peat, Westland is…
Torabhaig Allt Gleann The Legacy Series Single Malt Whisky
Move over Talisker, there’s another distillery in town. Torabhaig is the second licensed distillery on the Isle of Skye. The farmstead rehabbed for this distillery sits by the Allt Breacach and Allt Gleann which feeds the distillery with its spring water. It took them 4 years to restore the building before their opening in January…
West Cork Glengarriff Series Bog Oak Charred Cask
Given that it was St. Patrick’s Day weekend and I’m a huge fan of West Cork, when I saw this reddish bottle at just $33, I simply couldn’t help myself. This is one of two bottles in the Glengarriff Series (don’t worry I got the other one as well, but we’ll save that for another…

We’re about 4 days away from St. Patrick’s Day, so why not feature a brand that brings together the heart of Ireland and America. I recently had a chance to try Keeper’s Heart much awaited second release, Irish + Bourbon and the main question is, good or not? Let’s find out. Bourbon used was aged…
Morris Australian Whisky
The Morris family established their wine making business in 1859. In 2016, over 150 years later they added whisky making into their portfolio. I had the chance to try their Single Malt and their Muscat Barrels at a whisky tasting event and let me tell you… wow! Signature Single Malt WhiskyNose: cherries and fruitPalate: berries,…

The Uncle Nearest Distillery celebrates and honors the legacy of Nathan “Nearest” Green, America’s first-known African American master distiller and the person who taught Jack Daniel the craft of whiskey. Today, this black woman owned whiskey has become the fastest growing American Whiskey in U.S. history. If that doesn’t make you want to clap, I…
