What do game nights with friends bring? Well lots of alcohol of course, followed by buffoonery, competitiveness, laughter and fun. I’ve always said that the best drams I’ve shared, I’ve shared with friends. At a recent game night, deep into the evening, my friend Matt brings out Powers. Now prior to this instance I had…
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…
Redbreast 15 year-old Single Pot Still
I’ve said this before and I will say it again, for a long time I was not an Irish whiskey drinker. I also wasn’t much of a Bourbon/American whiskey drinker either, but that too has changed. Although I love Scotch it is certainly not the only great whisky out there and I am glad I’ve…
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…
GlenDronach 21 year-old Parliament
I am a bit late today with my post, sorry about that but Happy Thursday. Thursday to me just means, one more day till the weekend, so to that, Cheers! Not too long ago I enjoyed GlenDronach 21 year-old, courtesy of my boyfriend’s brother. Thank you Sean! It’s a pricey, but good Scotch I unfortunately…
WhistlePig 10 year-old Straight Rye
I came across WhistlePig when I made it a point to try out more bourbons and whiskey. Here was this 10 year-old, 100% proof, 100% rye out of Vermont (the state of my college alma mater) that I had never tried before. Not only that, but I had never tried 100% straight rye whiskey and…
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…
Willett Single Barrel Rye Whiskey
Since I didn’t like the last American Whiskey I wrote about, Rogue Dead Guy Whiskey http://wp.me/p3Zt2k-3n I wanted to give you all something American that I did in fact enjoy and made me smile this past week. Last Friday was an extremely cold day in Boston. After work we went into Sweet Cheeks Q for…
