I am a huge fan of Compass Box, and recently I had the pleasure of tasting their Orchard House Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, and it was an immediate love. I couldn’t help but wonder why I had not tried it sooner. For those not familiar with the brand, Compass Box was established in 2000 by…

Ardbeg Spectacular
Ardbeg has always been one of my favorite brands. However, I must admit that recently, I have found a few of their releases to be underwhelming. The last limited edition that truly captivated my taste buds was the Ardbeg BizarreBQ. The Ardbeg BizarreBQ was a phenomenal whiskey, and I am always on the lookout, hoping…

No surprise that I’m a huge fan of Keeper’s Heart. I’ve attended their tastings events in the past and this weekend they had a booth at a whiskey event we paid to attend. Out of all their offerings their newly released 10-Year expression happens to be my favorite. This whiskey is initially aged in bourbon…

Update: Highland Park Ice Edition 17 Year Single Malt
My husband and I have a pretty big whisky collection, so finishing a bottle of whisky takes us some time. I want to catalog our empties to see if the last sip was as enjoyable as the first. We received this Highland Park Ice Edition 17 Year Single Malt as a gift for my husband’s…
2XO Bourbon Whiskey
I’ve always been a Scotch Whisky gal but within the last two years I’ve embarked on a mission to try more bourbon. In that amount of time I’ve had duds, whiskies that go from OK to good, some even great. Few have stopped me on my tracks, this brand was one of them. 2XO is…
Dark Arts Amburana Oak Stave Finished, Small Batch Rye
Dark Arts Whiskey House is a brand I was recently introduced to. They take sourced whiskey, blend it, rebarrel it and finish it in Lexington, Kentucky. To them, whiskey blending isn’t just science but rather a form of art. Dark Arts’ goal is to take that art to a whole new level. I had the…

Milam & Greene Distillers Edition Straight Bourbon Whiskey
We were recently introduced to Milam & Greene at our friend’s house. This is an independently owned Texas whiskey, and they source their grains from across America. We got a chance to try their 21-01 batch cask strength Distillers Edition Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Truth be told, I wasn’t expecting much from this whiskey. When I…
The Dalmore 14-Year
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of The Dalmore. I loved it so much, one of my husband’s Christmas presents last year was The Dalmore King Alexander III. It’s an exceptional juice but we know it’s extremely pricey. This 14-year whisky on the other hand is a bit more affordable and spoiler alert,…
