I’ve mentioned before that rye isn’t typically my preference. However, while attending a friend’s event recently, we came across this bottle and decided it would make a thoughtful gift. To our surprise, they opened it immediately and shared a toast with us, giving us the chance to sample it. Curious about how it measured up?…

Parker’s Heritage Collection 16th Edition Double Barrel Blend
No, we’ve not opened the bottle we own but, thanks to fellow Instagrammer Stirred and Boozy who shared where we could sample, we were able to taste this whiskey at Daiquiris and Daisies at High Street Place here in Boston. Our bartender Joe was phenomenal and extremely knowledgeable about whiskey. We paid $36 for a…
Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey
When I tell you that we drank a lot of whiskey when we went to VA, well, I meant it. This was another whiskey we had the chance to try with friends. And, unlike the other whiskies this rye whiskey was not always produced in Kentucky. Pikesville was first produced in Maryland during the 1890s….

Not only does it pay homage to him, but Heaven Hill also donates portions of the proceeds made from the bottles to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, research and…
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…
