My gosh, December already! Where has the year gone? As our stress levels go up with all the holiday gifts we have to buy, I am here to help a bit if whisk(e)y is what you are looking for. Note: If you aren’t familiar with my blog I purchase every single whiskey, whisky and bourbon…

Springbank 10-year
Springbank is a distillery I have not spoken much about on my blog. It is located in Campbeltown and is the only distillery that produces three different single malts, Springbank, Hazelburn and Longrow. If that isn’t hard enough, they also malt 100% of their barley using the traditional floor malting method. But let me be…
Ardbeg Kelpie
Yes, I’ve not posted in a while, but it’s summer and with the warm weather I’ve not been drinking as much whisky as I’d like. We did however add a new whisky to our collection that I must share my thoughts on it, and that is, Ardbeg’s Kelpie. Initially I thought the name was just…
Aberfeldy 21-Year
It’s official, my boyfriend and I are going to Scotland this fall. We plan to drive around the country visiting as many distilleries as possible. If any of you have ideas on must see places let me know, just drop your thoughts down in the comments section. Who knows, maybe Aberfeldy will be one of…
Johnnie Walker Blenders’ Batch Triple Grain American Oak – Aged 10 Years
Hope you all enjoyed your St. Patrick’s Day weekend. My weekend was filled with whisky tastings and March Madness basketball games. For those that partied to much or are crying over your bracket’s, no worries, I’ll keep this post short. Johnnie Walker has put out a new release. I may not be happy about the…
Vicomte 8-Year Single Malt
I am back… sorry that I have taken a break from writing my blog. I needed it! I know I mentioned this in a previous blog, but I will mention again. I purchase every single whiskey, whisky and bourbon I have featured in this blog (except for one whisky which was given to me and…
The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve
The Glenlivet 12 year-old is one of my go to everyday drinking whiskies. The name Glenlivet speaks for itself. So when I heard that Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve is slowly replacing the 12 year-old, I was taken a back. No, this is not a Halloween prank (for those that didn’t know), it’s happening. Founder’s Reserve was…
Women Who Whiskey – Boston Chapter
One of the scariest things to do, in my opinion, is to attend an event where no one knows your name. Walking into my first Women Who Whiskey event was terrifying. The room was full of women in conversation, they were laughing and having a good time. In a bit of a panic I began…
The Glenrothes: Bourbon Cask,Vintage and Sherry Cask Reserve
Glenrothes is a Speyside whisky I have never written about so when I saw a trio sample of their Bourbon Cask Reserve, Vintage Reserve and Sherry Cask Reserve, buying it was a no brainer. And if you think you’ve never tried anything from them either but have tried Cutty Sark before, then you’ve tried it……
Lagavulin 12 YO (2014 Special Release)
A couple weeks ago I wrote about Lagavulin 8 years, so I thought it fitting to write about the 12 year-old 2014 special release this week since I’ve never written about it before and it’s a newly acquire whisky bottle that was added to my collection. The Lagavulin 12 year-old 2014 special release is the…
Bowmore 17 YO White Sands
I think I say this all the time but I will say it again, Bowmore has always had a special place in my heart. It was the first single malt I tasted when I began venturing into Scotch and it was also the first Scotch I fell in love with. No surprise that I picked…
Lagavulin 8 year-old 200th Anniversary Edition
Sorry it’s been a while since my last post. I was on vacation traveling with my friend Melissa. We took about 10 days to visit Berlin, Germany and Prague, Czech Republic. We had an amazing time! It was while in Germany that I saw and picked up this Lagavulin 8 year-old produced for their 200th…
