When I think of Bowmore, I think of the wonderful time I had during my last visit to Scotland. My first visit to Scotland was rather short, but it was on my 2nd visit that I got the chance to discover Bowmore and fall a bit in love with the city of Edinburgh. What it…

Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Bourbon
I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t mind if one day a whisky or bourbon was name after me. Maybe I will work on making sure that happens in the future but in the meantime I’ll talk about a bourbon named after a person who helped shape the Buffalo Trace Distillery, Elmer T. Lee….
Kilchoman Machir Bay
Before having seen Kilchoman listed in the single malt list I had not heard much about this distillery till after having tasted it. An Islay whisky, the Kilchoman (pronounced Kilhoman) distillery is a fairly young distillery. It was first established back in 2005 and it was the first distillery to have opened its door on…
Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky
In my Japanese whisky tasting experience, Nikka Coffey Grain whisky is only the third Japanese whisky I have sampled. I got the opportunity to taste this whisky after ordering a Japanese whisky flight while out with friends. Nikka is a big Japanese whisky producer which first established its distillery in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru. Taketsuru…
Auchentoshan Three Wood
When I first started writing my blog, one of the first whiskies I wrote about was Auchentoshan (pronounced ‘ock-un-tosh-un’) Classic, http://wp.me/p3Zt2k-7. If you read that post then you’ll know that I really enjoyed the Classic. I also have a bottle in my whisky collection. Looking to try more of the Auchentoshan range, I very recently…
Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Surprise!! It’s yet another snowstorm hitting the east coast as well as many other states. Although it will be fun trying to make my way home from the office this evening, what keeps me excited at the moment is knowing that I will be going to France in a couple of months with a friend….
Arran Malt Sauternes Cask Finish and Citizens Whisky Club
There is no better way to enjoy your weekend and beat the cold than by going out and enjoying a nice dram. That is exactly what we did this past Saturday. You might already know this about me, but Citizens Public House and Oyster Bar is one of the places in the greater Boston area…
Non-Traditional Manhattan (Video blog)
Not too long ago I went to Trader Joe’s and realized that they actually make their own whisky. Who knew?? I off course wanted to try it to see how well they did. The bottle I got is blended, matured and bottled in Scotland for Trader Joe’s. They also have two other whiskies that are…
Dimple Pinch 15 year-old
Monday is here already, but where did the weekend go? Unfortunately I am completely unprepared for it and I am sadly posting late, my apologies. Now in a “pinch” to write my post, I found a great blended whisky to talk about and that is, Dimple Pinch 15… yes, pun intended. I am not entirely…
Wasmund’s Single Malt Whisky
If you’ve read my posts before then you’ll know that I’ve said, the difference between whisky and whiskey is really the spelling and the word itself denotes the place where the whisky or whiskey comes from. The United States and Ireland are the only two countries that label their whiskey with an “e”. All other…
Yamazaki 12 year-old
This past weekend to help kick off our three day weekend because of Martin Luther King Day, we headed down to the Cape to visit friends and to try out a new whisky bar called Oak and Ember in Mashpee, Ma. Anytime I hear whisky bar I am all about trying it out and seeing…
Redbreast 15 year-old Single Pot Still
I’ve said this before and I will say it again, for a long time I was not an Irish whiskey drinker. I also wasn’t much of a Bourbon/American whiskey drinker either, but that too has changed. Although I love Scotch it is certainly not the only great whisky out there and I am glad I’ve…
