Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon Whiskey
I’ve always been a big fan of Wild Turkey Rare Breed. In fact, until this weekend, it was the only Wild Turkey bourbon I’d ever tasted. After finally getting my hands on a mini bottle of Wild Turkey 101, I was eager to see how it stacked up. Here are my thoughts. Nose: vanilla, cinnamon…
Watchpost Whiskey
Yesterday I attended a launch party for Watchpost Whiskey at The Citizen in Boston. As many of you know, Citizen has been one of our go-to spots for trying new whiskey since it opened back in 2010 so, if you’re a whiskey lover in Boston and haven’t been yet, it’s worth a visit. Watchpost is…

Sazerac Rye 100 Proof Straight Rye Whiskey
About three weeks ago, I posted about polishing off our bottle of Sazerac Rye (you can find that review here on this platform). Naturally, that meant it was time to pick up a replacement.

Tree House Distillery Kola Coffee Liqueur: Banane, Cacao, Coconut

Sazerac Rye Straight Rye Whiskey
Those who know me know that rye whiskeys tend to be either a complete win or a clear miss, there’s rarely an in-between. Today, though, I want to highlight a rye that firmly lands in the win column: New Orleans’ own Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey. It’s a bottle we’ve owned, finished (as you can see…

Tree House Distillery Kola Coffee Liqueur
Last year, we visited Tree House Distillery in Deerfield, MA—and spoiler alert: one of the standout samples we absolutely loved was their Kola Coffee Liqueur. That was surprising for me, since I’m usually not a big fan of coffee liqueurs. But this one? It might have changed my mind. Let’s dive in. This liqueur is…
