Happy Monday! Sorry for posting a little later than normal. I am running a little behind and although it will be short and sweet, I do have a great Bourbon to talk to you about today. Before this year I had not tasted nor had I ever heard of Wathen’s Kentucky bourbon until Frank from…

Mortlach Special Strength
When I travel, I always like to bring back with me a new type of whisky I’ve not had before. Last week I returned back from Spain and luckily, our flight layover happened to be in London, so I got the chance to stop at their World of Whiskies duty free shop. It was as…
Nikka – Taketsuru 17 year-old and 21 year-old Pure Malt
When I think of Sake, I think Japan. When I think of whisky, I think Scotland, Ireland and yes, Japan. Among all the new countries revolutionizing the world of whisky, Japan has become a giant in the trade. My favorite so far, Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky, and that still holds true even after tasting the…
Jameson Rarest Vintage Reserve
I have had the privilege of having tasted a significant amount of whiskies and to my surprise; it was only this year that I first wrote a post about Jameson. That post was on their 18 year-old Limited Reserve. Believe it or not, I am going to top that first Jameson post with what I…
Signatory Vintage – 19 year-old Caol Ila
You wouldn’t know this, but I’ve sat here at work staring at my computer for nearly an hour. Don’t get me wrong, I am a hard worker it’s just that today is the first day we are hitting 80 degree weather this year here in Boston and I would so much rather be out there…
Great King Street – Artist’s Blend Blended Scotch
I don’t always seek out blended Scotches. Most of the time I try a brand mainly in part to a recommendation that has been made, and that is exactly how I came to try Great King Street – Artist’s Blend Blended Scotch. After stopping by for a quick bite at Nebo restaurant in Boston the bartender (I believe…
Teeling Small Batch Whiskey
It’s Marathon Monday in Boston and the city is buzzing even though it’s a chilly rainy day. I do love seeing all the runners and the tourists in the city this time of year especially after what happened two years ago with the Boston Marathon bombing. Good luck to all the runners and if you…
Booker’s Small Batch Bourbon
Happy Monday! Wishing you all had a wonderful weekend whether you were out celebrating a religious holiday or maybe crying because your NCAA March Madness bracket was officially busted (no judgment here folks, I too cried). The first time I ever tried Booker’s, produced by Jim Beam, was on my first trip to Las Vegas,…
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)
Although I have mentioned Edradour in my blog before, I have never officially written about an Edradour tasting. So, I am kicking off the week with a distillery I’ve not officially written about. Edradour is known as one of Scotland’s smallest distillery. It’s a highland single malt that was first established in 1825. In 1982,…
Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey
Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day so it’s fitting that today I write about an Irish whiskey I had not tasted till about a couple weeks ago. Kilbeggan has been on my radar for a while so when I attended Julio’s Liquor Store, Go! Whisk(e)y Weekend 2015 a couple of weeks ago and saw it there,…
Cadenhead Glenallachie-Glenlivet 20 year-old
Sleepy is the word I used to describe how I felt this Monday morning after the daylight savings time moved our clocks one hour ahead. Before I find myself falling asleep and possibly drooling at my desk I’ll share my Cadenhead Glenallachie-Glenlivet 20 year-old post. The Glenallachie-Glenlivet distillery was founded in 1967. The distillery is…
