Happy Day of the Dead! I recently stumbled upon this brand and instantly fell in love. When I came across this beautiful bottle, well, I couldn’t resist buying it. Fingers crossed that I enjoy this one as much Copper Pot Whiskey. To find out if I enjoyed it, keep reading. As previously mentioned, a couple…

Apple Bourbon Mule – Mixed Up Canned Cocktails
We are officially a week away from Halloween and what better way to toast than with a fall cocktail you don’t even have to make yourself. I stumbled across these at Trader Joe’s and bought a pack of 4 for $15 and it states that one can has two servings. This means there are 8…
Crown Royal Whisky Sour cocktail with Black Cherry
Back in my younger days my go to cocktail was a Whisky Sour, along with an Amaretto Sour. I’ve outgrown these cocktails but when I saw Crown Royal came out with a ready-made Whisky Sour, I had to get it. This ready to serve cocktail is made with blended Canadian Whisky, lemon juice, black cherry,…
Watertown Coconut Whiskey
It’s summer and honestly, it’s hot outside. Whiskey is not what I gravitate to on a warm day, but Coconut Whiskey, come on now, that is summer in a bottle screaming come drink me… so we did. Watertown Whiskey was created by Mikey Bortone who appeared on the show Survivor. That’s where he found his…
An Evening with Laphroaig
As you’re all aware, Islay whiskies are my all-time favorite to imbibe! Laphroaig, however, holds a very special place in my heart, it’s the very first distillery I visited when I finally made the pilgrimage to Islay. Every year on our wedding anniversary my husband and I enjoy a dram of Laphroaig’s 2005 Vintage Cask…
Uncle Nearest: 1884 Small Batch, 1856 Premium Batch and Straight Rye Whiskey
The Uncle Nearest Distillery celebrates and honors the legacy of Nathan “Nearest” Green, America’s first-known African American master distiller and the person who taught Jack Daniel the craft of whiskey. Today, this black woman owned whiskey has become the fastest growing American Whiskey in U.S. history. If that doesn’t make you want to clap, I…
Stagg Jr. Batch 17
This is still hands down my favorite bourbon. The downside, you really can’t find these anywhere and the secondary markets ask for your first-born child if you buy from them. We got lucky that a friend of ours not only gave us Batch 15 but also this Batch 17. Batch 17 doesn’t disappoint and although…
Spiritless Kentucky 74
Finally, we’ve reached the last day of Dry January and I have one more non-alcoholic spirit to review. I promise, this is the last one. Kentucky 74 was created to be used in bourbon cocktails. They use a proprietary reverse distillation process to create this non-alcoholic spirit. Nose: sweetness, oak, and vanillaPalate: caramel, vanilla, and…
Lyre’s Highland Malt Non-Alcoholic Spirit
Now here is a non-alcoholic spirit that was extremely popular because every time I went searching for it, it was sold-out. Like Monday non-alcoholic spirit, Lyre’s Highland Malt also has amazing reviews on its website, but does it really taste like Single Malt Scotch? Nose: Oak and Toffee Palate: vanilla, almonds, and light honey Finish:…
Penelope Architect
Here’s an example where American whiskey meets French Oak and it’s simply done right. Penelope Architect is a collaboration with Tonnellerie Radoux of France, the market leader in oak barrel manufacturing and innovation. Architect combines three of their bourbon mash bills composed of corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley and finishes off in two different…
Monday Zero Alcohol Whiskey
We’re officially more than halfway through dry January and if you’ve made it this far, congratulations. I sampled all my January content back in December except for this, a zero-alcohol whiskey. Monday is a non-alcoholic whiskey inspired by the American classic whiskies. They’re made in small batches in CA. Nose: sweetness and raisinsPalate: caramel, sweetness,…
Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Rye Whiskey
Redwood Empire is a Sonoma County, CA, Distillery. This bottle is named after the fastest growing Redwood Tree, the Emerald Giant. For every bottle sold they plant a tree. That’s amazing for the environment but is this juice any good? Truth be told, when I heard about them my first thought was, UGH, another distillery…
