Yay!! It’s finally October and I say that because October is my favorite month of the year, not only because of Halloween, which is my absolute favorite holiday but also because it’s my birthday month. For my birthday this year my friends Matt and Sarah gave me an early birthday gift. That early birthday gift…

George Dickel Superior No. 12 Whisky
My first tasting experience with George Dickel happened just a couple weeks ago and that was with their Superior No. 12 Whisky. I had heard do much about the brand that I finally had to try it! George Dickel was established in Tennessee around the 1870’s by George Dickel. Alcohol producer giant, Diageo, now owns…
Noah’s Mill Bourbon Whiskey
Wow! It’s been about three weeks since my last post. I am sorry about not posting, the month of August has been a tad bit crazy, but I am back and today I am writing about a bourbon whiskey. A couple weeks ago my boyfriend and I, along with friends spent some time up in…
Farmer Willie’s Alcoholic Ginger Beer and Whiskey Cocktail Recipe
I am certain we’ve all heard of ginger beer and may have even tried it before, but, if you have not heard about or tried Farmer Willie’s Ginger Beer, well let me introduce you to it because it’s a ginger beer you should definitely get to know. Don’t worry, I am still the whiskeywench and…
Very Special Old Fitzgerald 12 year-old straight bourbon whiskey
Had I walked into a liquor store and seen Old Fitzgerald I am not sure it would have been a bottle I would have picked up or even glanced at. A friend of my boyfriend introduced me to Old Fitzgerald 12, and even when he showed us the bottle I didn’t think much of it….
WhistlePig 11 year-old Straight Rye TripleOne Whiskey
My introduction to WhistlePig was about a year ago with their 10 year-old whiskey and I searched high and low to get that one bottle. It took me a while to find a bottle because the product was extremely popular, but the search was definitely well worth it. To this day, I have a bottle…
Triple Smoke – Corsair Distillery
What does the way you walk say about you? To be honest, I have no idea what my walk says about me, but if a study was done on the way the three guys on the Triple Smoke bottle walked, I bet it would say that those guys are pretty cool dudes. I’ll be honest;…
Sons of Liberty Distillery
For being a small state, Rhode Island certainly has a lot going for themselves and that includes the Sons of Liberty Distillery. I had not heard about this place until my boyfriend mentioned it last week, so on Labor Day Weekend we headed down for a tour and sampling of their product. The distillery has…
What’s your favorite whisky… Macallan. Have you heard that before?
Today instead of my normal whisky review I wanted to address something most novice whisky drinkers do. This actually includes a lot of my friends as well. Here is what I would say to them if we were having a dram together. If you are starting to drink whisky one of the best ways to…
Eagle Rare 17 year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
A week ago we found ourselves again, sitting on a bar stool at the Last Hurrah when we realized that we had always just gone there for their single malt list and never their bourbon. We asked Frank if he had any good bourbons and he laughed at us. He then came back with a…
Elijah Craig 21 year-old
The minute the bartender said she had 21 year-old bourbon I was sold. I don’t have bourbon this old often, so I had to have it. This was my first introduction to the 21 year-old Elijah Craig and I was certainly happy to make its acquaintance. Since having a dram I have learned that this…
Wild Turkey Spiced Bourbon
This upcoming Memorial Day weekend marks the last day of spring turkey hunting season. Now I am assuming that you wouldn’t know that unless you are hunter and no, I am not a hunter. I only know this because my boyfriend sent me a text message saying that it was fitting we drank Wild Turkey…
