This past weekend my boyfriend and I made a trip up to Vermont for the day. It was an impromptu trip that reminded me of two things: One, I hadn’t written a blog post in a while and Two, recently Frank (from the Omni Parker Hotels Last Hurrah) had us try a whiskey from Vermont…

The Irishman Founders Reserve
As there will only be 12 days till Christmas after today, I was going to load my gift guide post however, I could not very well do that before posting a write up about The Irishman Founders Reserve. The reason being, well… spoiler alert, it made my gift guide and I just had to write…
Jameson Caskmates Irish Whiskey
What happens when whiskey meets craft stout? Jameson Caskmates is what happens. This concept came about after a conversation between the Jameson head distiller and the Cork’s Franciscan Well Brewery head brewer. Jameson agreed to send some whiskey barrels over to the brewery for them to age their stout and then the brewery sent those…
Suntory Toki
Note: Happy Monday! Before jumping into the blog I wanted to quickly mention that I am starting off the week with new blog design and new URL. This past June I celebrated 3 years of putting out whisk(e)y reviews and content. It was certainly time for a change! I wanted a fresh new design and…

Paddy Irish Whiskey
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I am wearing my bright green pants not only because of St. Patrick’s Day but also in hopes that it brings me luck on my March Madness Brackets. While one of my visits to Ireland, someone ask me if it was Boston who colored the river green in honor of St….

Happy Columbus Day, that is, if you are here in the US. Hopefully you are luckier than I am and have today off. Unfortunately, it’s a holiday the company I work for doesn’t really observe.

George Dickel Superior No. 12 Whisky

George Dickel was established in Tennessee around the 1870’s by George Dickel. Alcohol producer giant, Diageo, now owns…

Wathen’s Kentucky Bourbon
Happy Monday! Sorry for posting a little later than normal. I am running a little behind and although it will be short and sweet, I do have a great Bourbon to talk to you about today. Before this year I had not tasted nor had I ever heard of Wathen’s Kentucky bourbon until Frank from…
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,…
