Not too long ago my friends Laura and Anthony held a party to celebrate Laura’s big 3-0. It was at this party that I first discovered Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey. The bottle belonged to Mike, a friend of Laura and Anthony, and I immediately gravitated towards it as we walked into the party. We all know…

Pappy Meal – Old Rip Van Winkle 10 year
I felt like a kid in a candy store when I first walked into Citizen Public House for their Pappy Meal Monday. It is moments like these that remind me of one of the reasons why I started this blog, and that was to have fun. You better believe that I had fun with this…
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…
1792 Ridgemont Reserve Kentucky Straight
If you are a sports fan then you’ll know that the Kentucky Derby is being held this coming weekend. With that in mind, I thought there is no better way to kick off the week than by writing a short review about a Kentucky Straight whiskey, 1792 Ridgemont Reserve. 1792 Ridgemont Reserve Kentucky Straight is…
Hudson Whiskey – Manhattan Rye
Since prohibition, Hudson Whiskey is the first whiskey distillery to open its doors in New York. Although Tuthilltown Gristmill was initially purchased in 2001 to serve as a rock climber’s ranch it was whiskey that later came out of there a few years later. One of the first things that captured me about Hudson Whiskey…
Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Whiskey
Happy first day of spring! Lucky for us, it supposed to hit mid-50 today. Yes I am extremely happy about that, this Caribbean born gal is definitely looking forward to some nicer warm weather. The thought of warm weather makes me smile as much as the thought of an Angel’s Share when it comes to…
Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Bourbon
I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t mind if one day a whisky or bourbon was name after me. Maybe I will work on making sure that happens in the future but in the meantime I’ll talk about a bourbon named after a person who helped shape the Buffalo Trace Distillery, Elmer T. Lee….
Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Surprise!! It’s yet another snowstorm hitting the east coast as well as many other states. Although it will be fun trying to make my way home from the office this evening, what keeps me excited at the moment is knowing that I will be going to France in a couple of months with a friend….
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…
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…
