Dalmore 12 Year Sherry Cask Select
If you’ve had Dalmore’s 12 Year from their core collection and you enjoyed it, well, say hello to their 12 Year Sherry Cask. Now, I understand that if you’ve had the original, you might be thinking, ‘Wait, wasn’t the original also finished in Oloroso Sherry Casks?’ And you would be correct. However, this expression is…
Ardbeg Spectacular
Ardbeg has always been one of my favorite brands. However, I must admit that recently, I have found a few of their releases to be underwhelming. The last limited edition that truly captivated my taste buds was the Ardbeg BizarreBQ. The Ardbeg BizarreBQ was a phenomenal whiskey, and I am always on the lookout, hoping…
West Cork Bourbon Cask Matured Irish Whiskey
Over the weekend, we celebrated our annual Friendsgiving, and one of the whiskies we enjoyed together was this West Cork Bourbon Cask Matured Irish Whiskey. In my opinion, West Cork is an amazing brand that offers great Irish whiskey at an affordable price point. This expression is 75% grain and 25% malt Irish whiskey matured…
Keeper’s Heart 10-Year Irish Single Malt
No surprise that I’m a huge fan of Keeper’s Heart. I’ve attended their tastings events in the past and this weekend they had a booth at a whiskey event we paid to attend. Out of all their offerings their newly released 10-Year expression happens to be my favorite. This whiskey is initially aged in bourbon…

I’ve wanted to taste and write about this whiskey mainly because it seems perfect for this time of year. I added a bottle to our cart during a recent trip to the liquor store. Shortly after, I noticed a salesperson pouring samples of Kings Creek. Keep reading to see if the bottle made it to…

Glengoyne 15-Year-Old Highland Single Malt Scotch
The weather is officially nice and cool in New England which means, it’s not only sweater weather but also whisky season. Let’s get into this Glengoyne. This Highland Distillery is located just outside of Glasgow and was founded in 1883. The distillery is now owned by Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd. Glengoyne chose to marry whiskies…
Jack Daniel’s No. 7 and Coke Zero
Now here’s a fun thing we stumbled across recently and of course I had to get it. We purchased a pack of four at $12 which puts each can at $3. That’s a great price for the amount you pay at a restaurant for a Jack and Coke. To me, this idea by the brands…
Baileys Cinnamon Churros and whiskey Cocktail
Well, hello Fall! I know, it’s been a while since I’ve posted, the hot weather contributed to my lack of inspiration. But we are back with a quick whiskey cocktail perfect for this time of year. My husband recently brought home a bottle of Baileys Cinnamon Churros. This is by far, the best Baileys Irish…
Horse Soldier Barrel Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey
I love the story behind this brand. The genesis goes back to just after 9/11 when an Elite group of Green Berets were inserted into Afghanistan, some on horseback. They were dubbed “Horse Soldiers” and later inspired the blockbuster movie “12 Strong”. Nose: oak, vanilla, butterscotch and spicesPalate: oak, ginger, toffee and vanillaFinish: charred oak…
