A week ago we found ourselves again, sitting on a bar stool at the Last Hurrah when we realized that we had always just gone there for their single malt list and never their bourbon. We asked Frank if he had any good bourbons and he laughed at us. He then came back with a…

Twenty Boat – Spice Rum
No it’s not a mistake, this whisky blogger is actually going to write about rum today. This isn’t just any rum, I was born in Puerto Rico and this island girl not only loves her rum but I also know good rum. For me to write about rum not coming from the Caribbean because it…
Elijah Craig 21 year-old
The minute the bartender said she had 21 year-old bourbon I was sold. I don’t have bourbon this old often, so I had to have it. This was my first introduction to the 21 year-old Elijah Craig and I was certainly happy to make its acquaintance. Since having a dram I have learned that this…
Wild Turkey Spiced Bourbon
This upcoming Memorial Day weekend marks the last day of spring turkey hunting season. Now I am assuming that you wouldn’t know that unless you are hunter and no, I am not a hunter. I only know this because my boyfriend sent me a text message saying that it was fitting we drank Wild Turkey…
Talisker Distillers Edition – Distilled in 2002 and bottled in 2013
While we were in the west coast of France earlier this month, we arrived at our host’s father’s house and waiting for us was a massive sea food spread he had prepared. I enjoy sea food, but there are something’s I stay away from. Snails (never had then before but didn’t look appetizing) and oysters…
Yellow Spot 12 year-old
Just about a week ago I was in France enjoying the country, food, wine and its culture. It was extremely hard to come back stateside but, there was one thing I had to do before leaving Europe and that was acquiring a bottle of the Irish whiskey Yellow Spot. Lucky for me, our connection flight…
On Vacation
It’s been a little over a week since I’ve posted and that is due to me being away on vacation. I should be back to posting on Monday May 12th. In the mean time here are some pictures from my trip to Paris! Cheers!
1792 Ridgemont Reserve Kentucky Straight
If you are a sports fan then you’ll know that the Kentucky Derby is being held this coming weekend. With that in mind, I thought there is no better way to kick off the week than by writing a short review about a Kentucky Straight whiskey, 1792 Ridgemont Reserve. 1792 Ridgemont Reserve Kentucky Straight is…
McCarthy’s Oregon Single Malt Whiskey
Naturally, being a huge single malt fan, when the Sweet Cheeks Q bartender said she had a really good single malt whiskey from Oregon, I laughed. Although on my list of states to visit, I have never been to Oregon before and didn’t think single malt whiskeys was something they’d be good at. One of…
Glenmorangie The Lasanta
I was first introduced to Glenmorangie, a highland whisky, by my friend Fiona. Glenmorangie The Original happens to be one of her favorite whiskies (http://wp.me/p3Zt2k-1H). Not too long ago a friend hosted a party and I was introduced to another Glenmorangie whisky, in this case, Glenmorangie Lasanta. Lasanta, Gaelic for warmth and passion per the…
Oban Distillers Edition (Distilled 2003 | Bottled in 2017)
We didn’t purchase this bottle, we commandeered it from a friend. Don’t worry, they know we took it and now, we get to enjoy this deliciousness. The Oban distillery is in the town of Oban, nestled on the West Coast of Scotland and looks out to the Scottish Isles. You can say this expression was influenced…
Highland Park 30 year-old
There was just one finger left and I was extremely excited to have been the one to get it. I was taught to share as a kid, but with just one finger left I was not sharing this Highland Park 30 with anyone. I got this last finger courtesy of Frank at The Last Hurrah….
