With St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to highlight an Irish Whiskey. Personally, I am a fan of Redbreast, and I recently had the opportunity to sample their Missouri Oak Edition. This edition is part of their American Oak series. In the production of this expression, their single pot whiskey…

Blue Note Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Now let’s explore a distillery that is new to me – Blue Note. Blue Note is a Tennessee whiskey produced by B.R. Distilling Co. Interestingly, when I asked if they were new, they shared that they are not a new distillery, but it was only recently that they made their products available in Massachusetts. I…
Catoctin Creek Hot Honey Rye
Catoctin (Ka-tock-tin) Creek is the first legal distillery in Loudoun County Virginia since before Prohibition. It was founded by Becky and Scott Harris in 2009. I had the opportunity to sample this brand back in November, and I must admit that I’m not typically a fan of sweet whiskies or drinks. I found the samples…
Glengoyne 12-Year, 18-Year and Legacy Chapter Two Single Malt Scotch
Last year, I came across this variety pack at $20, so I couldn’t resist buying it. These packs offer a fantastic opportunity to explore different whiskies without the need to invest in full bottles. I’ve always been a strong advocate of trying before buying, especially considering how whisky prices consistently continue to rise. Now, let’s…
Balblair 15-Year Single Malt Scotch
Happy New Year! I hope you are all having a fantastic start to 2025. As for me, I’m kicking off the year with dry January, but for those who aren’t, don’t worry! I still have plenty of content to share from tasting conducted in 2024. The first post of 2025 featured the Balblair 15-Year whisky….
Ardbeg Spectacular
Ardbeg has always been one of my favorite brands. However, I must admit that recently, I have found a few of their releases to be underwhelming. The last limited edition that truly captivated my taste buds was the Ardbeg BizarreBQ. The Ardbeg BizarreBQ was a phenomenal whiskey, and I am always on the lookout, hoping…
Writers Tears Tequila Cask Finish Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
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,…
Isle of Skye Whisky 12 Year
At first glance, you’ll wonder, did a new distillery open on Isle of Skye? Currently, Talisker and Torabhaig are the only two distilleries to inhabit the island. This brand doesn’t trace back to either of them. It’s a brand put out by Ian Macleod distillers, which is one of Scotland’s independent bottlers. So no, not…
KAIYō Cask Strength Japanese Whisky
Back in 2021, I wrote a post about KAIYō (Japanese for Ocean) whiskies. In that post I sampled the Signature; Cask Strength; The Single and The Peated. Of the four samples I had that day, the Cask Strength was my least favorite. You can find the info on my thoughts and about KAIYō in that…
The Dunbrody Irish Whiskey
If you’ve never heard of The Dunbrody Irish Whiskey, well, let me introduce you to this new brand of Irish Whiskey. My husband and I attended a whiskey tasting event (which we paid to attend) at Julio’s Liquors this past weekend and this brand made its very first appearance. The brand falls under the LHK…
