I’ve always been a fan of Crown Royal, and two of my favorite expressions are Northern Harvest Rye and Blackberry. So, when I came across their new chocolate expression, you can imagine I couldn’t resist giving it a try. Let’s dive in! Nose: chocolate and vanilla Palate: sweet, caramel and chocolate, Finish: sweetness with caramel…

Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Blackberry
If you’ve been following me, you know I reviewed Crown Royal Blackberry last year. So, when Jack Daniel’s dropped their Tennessee Blackberry, you already knew I had to give it a try. What really won me over was the fact that they offered it in a mini size—perfect for sampling without committing to a full…
Sea Flame Spice Whiskey
A little while ago, my husband and I made the hour-plus drive to Newport to check out Newport Craft Brewing and Distilling Co. This spot isn’t just about beer—they also distill their own spirits, offer guided tours, serve up cocktails, and even have food on the menu. The main draw for me? Their whisky. More…
Shanky’s Whip Irish Whiskey (Black Liqueur and Whiskey Blend)

Elijah Craig Old Fashioned Cocktail Syrup
Now here’s a non-alcoholic Elijah Craig product I came across by chance. This little bottle which cost me just around $4, is simply a syrup to make an Old Fashion with. Unlike ready-made cocktails, you need to have a whiskey to use this one with. The bottle indicates it was specifically to highlight the notes…
X by Glenmorangie
If someone were to ask me if they could use my scotches for cocktail mixing I’d really have to think about. Some scotches are simply not made for cocktails which is probably why Glenmorangie partnered with bartenders to create X. It’s a single malt scotch whisky made for cocktail mixing. I mean.. how fabulous is…
