Happy New Year! We are kicking 2016 off with a brand that doesn’t need an introduction, Glenlivet. To be honest, this is a brand I have truly come to appreciate and enjoy within recent years. Within the Glenlivet range I have tasted the 12, 15, 16 Nadurra Cask Strength and the 21 year-old Archive. My…

Auchentoshan American Oak and the Highland Games in N.H.
It was extremely hard to get up for work this morning after spending what was a great weekend with my boyfriend and his family up in New Hampshire for the 40th Annual Highland Games. The festival was filled with music, games, events and most importantly, whisky tastings. Laphroaig and their North American Ambassador, Simon Brooking,…

What, the 1st day of September already, where has the summer gone? And I know, this post should have posted yesterday but I was feeling a bit under the weather so I took the afternoon to rest and get better. Today I am feeling loads better and am back at it with a whisky I…
Kavalan Solist Cask Strength ex-Bourbon Cask whisky
I am not a person who immediately jumps on the bandwagon of anything and definitely not when it comes to sports. You are talking to someone who commits to the team she is rooting for from beginning to end. So much so, that last year during the 2014 World Cup I cried, I mean really…
Edradour Barolo Cask Matured (distilled 2006 and bottled in 2014)

The Glenlivet 12 year-old

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…
