Last week I reviewed The Glenlivet Twist and Mix New Manhattan. This week, let’s talk about their Old-Fashioned ready-made cocktail. Like the New Manhattan, twisting the cap releases a mixture that goes into the cocktail. The Old Fashioned is also a 375ml bottle at 40% ABV and retails for $21. This cocktail is not bad…

Aberlour A’Bunadh Cask Strength
Aberlour (meaning, the mouth of the chattering burn, in Gaelic) is a single malt brand I really enjoy. I’ve also sampled their A’Bunadh (meaning, of the origin, in Gaelic) Cask Strength before, however the one I previously had was 59.7% (you can find this review post here on my blog) while this one sits at…
The Glenlivet Twist and Mix New Manhattan
Glenlivet has entered the ready-made cocktail chat and have released this New Manhattan and Twist and Mix Old Fashioned. I had both today, but I’ll be talking about their Manhattan. This cocktail is made from The Glenlivet single malt Scotch and natural flavorings. What’s neat, twisting the cap releases a mixture that goes into the…
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…
Buchanan’s Pineapple
Now this is a brand I walked by a million times and never even thought to even try. It wasn’t until recently that we got a chance to sample and well, I have thoughts. Buchanan’s is a blended Scotch that was launched in 1884 by James Buchanan. The idea was to create a smooth blend…
Johnnie Walker High Rye
Alright, when this first came out, I rolled my eyes because honestly, there are way too many ryes out there that are simply, how should I put it… crap! How does this one rate? Well, keep reading. This whisky is composed of 60% rye aged whisky matured in American oak barrels and includes whiskies from…
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,…
Chivas Regal XV
OK, so being truthful, I personally don’t think I’ve ever had a bad Chivas whisky. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying they’re all extraordinary, but so far none have been terrible. This includes Chivas XV. XV is finished in French oak casks, while a portion is further aged in Cognac casks. Nose: honey, cinnamon,…
The Dalmore King Alexander III
I’m a huge fan of Dalmore and Saturday night, while attending a tasting event,I got the chance to taste Dalmore’s King Alexander III. This tasting event was crowded but the minute I tried this, oh my goodness it was as if the room went quiet and sweet baby angels came down from the heavens and…
The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve
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,…
Ardbeg BizarreBQ
“Grilling meets distilling,” is the opening line on the back of the Ardbeg BizarreBQ bottle. Ardbeg’s Master Distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden teams up with Christian Stevenson (AKA DJ BBQ) to create this limited expression. Now honestly, this to me is the perfect bromance. Whisky smoke and smoked meats, might definitely, just be the perfect combo….
Oban 18 Year Limited Edition
Well, hello September! In what appears to be a blink of the eye, fall is upon us. Fall and Winter for me are whisky drinking seasons so let’s kick this month off with some Scotch. A year ago, I kicked Fall off with Oban 14, so let’s do it again with an older expression. Oban…
