I recently purchased this mini bottle to avoid having to buy the big bottle. Honestly, I prefer to buy small bottles. They are cheaper and if I don’t like the juice, they don’t sit on our shelves. This whisky is for those who enjoy whisky on the sweeter side. Nose: sweetness and tropical fruitPalate: caramel,…

Henry McKenna 10 Years Bottled-In-Bond
While moving things through our whiskey cabinet this past weekend I found this Henry McKenna 10 Years Bottled-In-Bond. I was pleasantly surprised since, 1. I had no idea we owned a bottle and 2. I have not written about this brand before. If you aren’t familiar with Bottled-In-Bond that simply means it’s been aged and…
The Glenlivet 14 Year Cognac Cask Selection
It was 90 degrees this weekend in Boston! The whisky drinking days are slowly disappearing but, fear not, I have a few more posts before that happens. This little guy (50ml) I got for free at the liquor store because they couldn’t get it to scan. It was an absolute win for me. I always…
The Macallan Rare Cask Batch No 2 2019
My husband and I celebrated our 6th month wedding anniversary this past April.I know I know, before you come at me, we know it’s not a long time, but it was still special enough after we had to cancel our original date due to Covid. To help celebrate we opened this Macallan Rare Cask Batch…
Elijah Craig – Toasted Barrel
Here’s one of those whiskies we would always search for but could never find. Until we visited friends in Virginia. We not only got a chance to taste it but also got to take home the bottle (Thanks Kevin A). For this expression, Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon is used as the base. After the…
Midleton Very Rare 2015
Time is going by too quickly as we wave good-bye to Halloween. If you happen to go out and celebrate this past weekend, I hope you all had a great time at your Halloween celebrations. I’ll be sharing a picture of my costume at the end of the post. November 3, which is tomorrow, happens…
The Glenlivet 12 year-old
Even if you aren’t a whisky drinker I am certain that you’ve heard of The Glenlivet. It’s a classic, very well known brand that in my opinion new/first-time whisky drinkers first gravitate towards. No, this is not the first time I’ve written about The Glenlivet, but it is the first time I am posting about…
Lagavulin 16 – 1997 Distillers Edition
Happiness is enjoying a dram of Lagavulin while sitting in front of a warm fire on a cold winters night. Now I know it’s not winter yet, but when I came across a bottle of the 1997 Lagavulin Distillers Edition it was all I could think off. The Lagavulin distillery was founded in 1816 by…
Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve
I am not a cigar smoker or a smoker at all. I smoked a cigarette once in my early 20’s and then recall crying about smoking that one cigarette. It might have been the alcohol that contributed to my crying, but nonetheless I knew then that smoking was definitely not for me. The upside, you…
Green Spot – Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey
I have enjoyed Irish whiskey, but before this year I had not found an Irish whiskey that I truly loved and could rave about. It was this past March when my friend Melissa and I headed to Dublin, Ireland for a little vacation. It was while out on one of our nights that we came…
