I’ve always loved an easy ready to drink cocktail. It takes the bartending work away and all you need to do is pour over ice and enjoy. This ready to drink cocktail is produced by Boston Harbor Distillery. It’s made with their Putnam Rye Whiskey, Angostura Bitters and Demerara. It’s 35% ABV and a 375ml…

Calumet Farm 15-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Hello 2023! After all the holiday gluttony and drinking I’m kicking off the year with a healthier outlook and a dry January but, fear not, I’ve got plenty of whiskey content to fill the month. I had the chance to try this brand while in VA back in November. My friend Sara purchased the bottle…

Clyde May’s Original Alabama Style, Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Straight Rye Whiskey
This week here on Instagram I shared a Reel on great whiskey stocking stuffers. Our good friend Dan (Thank you Dan!) gave us this mini trio of Clyde May’s whiskey and why not try it, to see if they’d make a good stocking stuffer. The Straight Bourbon Whiskey I have written about before so won’t…

Gold Spot 9-Year: Mitchell and Son’s 135th Anniversary Limited Edition
This bottle was not easy to find! We called about 10 liquor stores to find it, and many gave us the same spiel… “this is an allocated bottle available to our barrel club members only…” blah blah blah. I’m over places who force you to buy their crap whisky to then have access to a…
Douglas XO Premium Blended Scotch Whisky
I’ve never heard of this brand till I saw it in mini form. This is a blended scotch from an independent bottler. Although I was not expecting much, I was pleasantly surprised that I like it and think it’s better than some of the more expensive bottles on my shelf. Nose: spices, vanilla, sweetness, and…
Dewar’s – White Label, 12-Year, and 15-Year
Let me start by saying that I tried Dewar’s White Label many years ago and I didn’t like it at all. With that said, I stumbled across this set and thought, why not give it another try, so here we are. Dewar’s is a blended Scotch whisky that is currently owned by Bacardi. Their best-selling…

Speyburn 10-Years
I’ve gotten into the habit of buying more whiskies in mini form and this was one of them. One, it saves me money (I purchase all my whiskies) and two, it’s easier than having a giant bottle of whisky collecting dust on your shelf if you end up not liking the juice. This is a…
Redemption Rye
This bottle was given to me as a birthday gift (thank you, Rich, and Aurora). To me, this rye whiskey is OK. It has a mash bill of 95% premium rye and 5% barley. It’s matured in new charred oak barrels. Nose: rye, sweet, vanillaPalate: black pepper, spices, and ryeFinish: oak and ryeABV: 46% I…
Glenfarclas 12-Year
This mini 50 ml little bottle that cost me about $4 is my first introduction to the Glenfarclas brand. I don’t know why I didn’t try it before but now that I have, I’m glad I did. Glenfarclas is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch that has been family owned for 5 generations. This 12-year is…
