My apologies, I know I missed my regular Monday post. I was unfortunately feeling under the weather and it turned out to be a pretty busy day at work yesterday. I am making up for up by posting today and I am going to post my second post on my Gordon & MacPhail (G&M) whisky…

Octomore 06.1 – By Bruichladdich
Happy October and Happy Birthday to me! Needless to say October is my favorite time of year, not because it’s the month of my birth year but because of Halloween and fall. Friday night while having dinner with my great friend Melissa, I spotted a bottle of Octomore on the bar shelf. I immediately knew…
Bruichladdich Black Art 4.1 – Cask Strength
When in conversation about no-age-statement (NAS) whiskies, Bruichladdich always comes up. It is one of the distilleries, in my mind, that has pumped out the most NAS whiskies. This has certainly infuriated many purists, so when I saw this Bruichladdich Black Art 4.1 listed on the whisky menu I was certainly skeptical about trying it….

The 18 year-old was good but I was not wowed by it. To me it was simply OK. Now this Bunnahabhain by Signatory Vintage is a whole different…
Longrow Red 11 year-old Australian Shiraz Casks Limited Edition
When I think of peated scotch, I always think of Islay. I am an absolute sucker for smoky, peaty single malts and Islay is frankly known for them. When I heard Campbeltown’s Longrow single malt was just as peaty, you better believe I wanted to try it and judge for myself. SPOILER ALERT: It is…
Ardbog (From Ardbeg)
NOTE: First and foremost, thank you to all those soldiers and sailors (past and present) in the armed forces who dedicate their lives to protecting their countries. Cheers and Happy Veterans Day! A little over a week ago my boyfriend and I went out to The Last Hurrah here in Boston. It’s a spot we…
