I came across WhistlePig when I made it a point to try out more bourbons and whiskey. Here was this 10 year-old, 100% proof, 100% rye out of Vermont (the state of my college alma mater) that I had never tried before. Not only that, but I had never tried 100% straight rye whiskey and…

Willett Single Barrel Rye Whiskey
Since I didn’t like the last American Whiskey I wrote about, Rogue Dead Guy Whiskey http://wp.me/p3Zt2k-3n I wanted to give you all something American that I did in fact enjoy and made me smile this past week. Last Friday was an extremely cold day in Boston. After work we went into Sweet Cheeks Q for…
Rogue Dead Guy Whiskey
There I was out on a Friday night at a bar with a Rogue Dead Guy in hand. Now before you jump into any conclusions I am talking about the whiskey and not an actual guy. After having enjoyed a smooth Willett single barrel (rye), there was no way I could leave the bar without…
Basil Hayden’s Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
It’s the season of holiday parties and social gatherings and not too long ago I attended high tea with a group of co-workers for a special occasion. The tea I got was enjoyable but on the spicy side. As I drank it I smiled and in my head thought I said, this tea is spicy…
Ardbeg 10 year old
Let me start by saying that Ardbeg is one of my very favorite Single malt Scotch whiskies. The first time I tried Ardbeg I was in San Diego about 2 years ago attending a friend’s wedding. While out at a whisky bar I wanted to try something smoky and different, so the bartender suggested Ardbeg….
Tullamore D.E.W., Original, Old Bonded and Heritage
Monday already! Could you believe that September is coming to a close soon? Well, neither can I. Time flies when you are having fun. And fun is exactly what I had when I got a chance to try three different whiskies from one whiskey family range. It is not often that I get to do…
The Dalmore 12
Ah Monday’s! If you had to drag yourself out of bed this morning and are now drinking a giant cup of coffee then we are in the same boat. Monday’s are extremely difficult to get into especially after a nice weekend. To cheer you up and put a smile on your face I have these…
Green Spot – Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey
I have enjoyed Irish whiskey, but before this year I had not found an Irish whiskey that I truly loved and could rave about. It was this past March when my friend Melissa and I headed to Dublin, Ireland for a little vacation. It was while out on one of our nights that we came…
Auchentoshan Classic
One of the things I learned while traveling through Scotland is that some whisky distilleries purchase American bourbon casks, rum casks and even wine casks to distill their whisky in. If you really think about that, it’s a win win for both sides. How so? Well, one side makes money by selling their used up…
