Sleepy is the word I used to describe how I felt this Monday morning after the daylight savings time moved our clocks one hour ahead. Before I find myself falling asleep and possibly drooling at my desk I’ll share my Cadenhead Glenallachie-Glenlivet 20 year-old post. The Glenallachie-Glenlivet distillery was founded in 1967. The distillery is…

Highland Park Dark Origins
If you follow my blog then you will know that I am a huge fan of the Highland Park brand so when I saw they had added a no-age-statement (NAS), Dark Origins, I definitely wanted to try it. I got a chance to try this NAS this past weekend while visiting Frank at the Last…
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…
Talisker Storm
Yikes, if you live in Boston or the Northeast, the words being tossed around by meteorologists in your area include: blizzard, potential historic snow amounts (what??) and storm. My first thought was, Yes Snow Day! I get to work from home tomorrow and maybe even Wednesday, sweet, I’ll take it. I felt like a kid…
The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 year-old
Happy New Year! I am very much looking forward to this New Year and will be kicking off the first blog of 2015 with Balvenie’s 14 year-old Caribbean Cask. My intro to this brand was with Balvenie PortWood 21 year-old and that was followed by the amazing Balvenie DoubleWood 17 year-old. To read more info…
Old St. Andrews Clubhouse blended Scotch whisky
Not too long ago while out shopping with my boyfriend, he spotted a miniature bottle of Old St. Andrews Clubhouse blended whisky and off course, he bought it for me so I can write about it. One of my boyfriends dream is to one-day play golf with his buddies at the St. Andrews Golf Course…
Gordon and MacPhail Series Post 3 of 6: Glenlivet 15 year-old
We are just two days away from holiday! I am almost done with my shopping list and I am definitely looking forward to spending time with family, but also, having a few days away from work. Today I am going to post my third post on my Gordon & MacPhail (G&M) whisky series. The first…
Ardbeg Uigeadail
My apologies for the late post!! My Monday was absolutely hectic after the Thanksgiving break so I am making up for it today with my post. Although it was wonderful to be with family and eat all that great food, I have to say that my absolute favorite moments of the whole holiday break were,…
The Balvenie DoubleWood 17 year-old
It’s the Monday before Thanksgiving and although I’m not entirely certain I’ve acquired all the ingredients I need for our Thursday meal, I am certain about the fact that the whisky I am going to talk about today, is absolutely fantastic. My first introduction to this brand was with their Balvenie PortWood 21 year-old. Balvenie…
Highland Park 12 year-old
I fell in love with Highland Park when I first tasted their 30 year-old expression and got a chance to try Cadenheads 25 year-old Highland Park expression. Those two whiskies without a doubt are two of the best I’ve tasted. If you have not read any of my links above on Highland Park, I’ll give…

Gordon & MacPhail Series Post 1 of 6: Scapa 10 year-old
Nearly two weeks ago my boyfriend and I attended a Gordon & Macphail (G&M) tasting led by their lead importer Gary Kiemach at Federal Wine and Spirits here in Boston. We got a chance to taste six of their whiskies and I thought I would write about them in a series form, starting with the 10…
