When I think of Bowmore, I think of the wonderful time I had during my last visit to Scotland. My first visit to Scotland was rather short, but it was on my 2nd visit that I got the chance to discover Bowmore and fall a bit in love with the city of Edinburgh. What it…

Kilchoman Machir Bay
Before having seen Kilchoman listed in the single malt list I had not heard much about this distillery till after having tasted it. An Islay whisky, the Kilchoman (pronounced Kilhoman) distillery is a fairly young distillery. It was first established back in 2005 and it was the first distillery to have opened its door on…
Auchentoshan Three Wood
When I first started writing my blog, one of the first whiskies I wrote about was Auchentoshan (pronounced ‘ock-un-tosh-un’) Classic, http://wp.me/p3Zt2k-7. If you read that post then you’ll know that I really enjoyed the Classic. I also have a bottle in my whisky collection. Looking to try more of the Auchentoshan range, I very recently…
Arran Malt Sauternes Cask Finish and Citizens Whisky Club
There is no better way to enjoy your weekend and beat the cold than by going out and enjoying a nice dram. That is exactly what we did this past Saturday. You might already know this about me, but Citizens Public House and Oyster Bar is one of the places in the greater Boston area…
Non-Traditional Manhattan (Video blog)
Not too long ago I went to Trader Joe’s and realized that they actually make their own whisky. Who knew?? I off course wanted to try it to see how well they did. The bottle I got is blended, matured and bottled in Scotland for Trader Joe’s. They also have two other whiskies that are…
Dimple Pinch 15 year-old
Monday is here already, but where did the weekend go? Unfortunately I am completely unprepared for it and I am sadly posting late, my apologies. Now in a “pinch” to write my post, I found a great blended whisky to talk about and that is, Dimple Pinch 15… yes, pun intended. I am not entirely…
Hot Toddy to beat a head cold
I wanted to change things up this week and post a video blog. It’s been really cold this winter here in the Greater Boston area, where I live. Most of my friends have gotten sick and actually not too long ago I myself came down with a cold. My boyfriend made me a hot toddy…
GlenDronach 21 year-old Parliament
I am a bit late today with my post, sorry about that but Happy Thursday. Thursday to me just means, one more day till the weekend, so to that, Cheers! Not too long ago I enjoyed GlenDronach 21 year-old, courtesy of my boyfriend’s brother. Thank you Sean! It’s a pricey, but good Scotch I unfortunately…
Glenfiddich 15 year-old
Happy New Year! I think there is no better way to kick off 2014 here in the east coast than with a nice good old snow storm. Unfortunately I am still in the office working so hopefully I’ll get to leave before it get’s bad out there. If you are lucky to still be on…
Aberlour A’Bunadh Cask Strength
Back to work already, were does the time go!!!! It’s always hard to get back into the swing of things after a holiday. If you are one of those folks back at work already after the holiday, then I share your pain. Hopefully you all had a wonderful holiday, as I did! Before all the…
Dewar’s White Label (blended Scotch whisky)
Whether you are a Scotch whisky drinker or not, I am certain you might have seen the major advertising campaign by Dewar’s Scotch Whisky. Some of the ads are certainly in poor taste. I first tried Dewar’s a couple years ago. To refresh my memory last night I got a mini bottle to make sure…
Talisker 10-year-old
Stormy is the word that first comes to mind when I think and drink Tasliker 10. It is fitting since our forecasters are calling for a wintery mix here in New England this weekend. Since it will be blustery (a word that for some reason always reminds me of Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh, sadly)…
