Recently, I had the chance to try the Compass Box whisky called Secrets of Smoke. As the name implies, this blend includes peated whiskies, but it differs significantly from their Peat Monster expression. If you didn’t enjoy Peat Monster, I believe you’ll find Secrets of Smoke much more appealing. Let’s get into it. This expression…

Glenmorangie A Tale of Tokyo
As promised in my Tuesday post, I am now here to share my thoughts on the Glenmorangie A Tale of Tokyo. Without further ado, here is a short and sweet review. The creation of this expression was inspired by Dr Bill’s experience of Tokyo. A Tale of Tokyo is partially aged in Mizurana oak casks…
Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream
Glenmorangie has recently introduced another addition to their Tale series, and this time it’s called Ice Cream. Before diving into this expression, I also had the opportunity to sample A Tale of Tokyo, which I can share my thoughts on later this week. In all honesty, I blind bought this bottle, so let’s find out…
San Patricios 7-Años Single Malt Irish Whiskey
I am continuing my Irish whiskies features this week. Today, I want to introduce a unique Irish Whiskey that pays homage to the story of the 200 Irish Volunteers, known as the San Patricios, who fought for Mexico during the Mexican-American War of 1846-48. This Irish Whiskey is a 7- Años (for those not familiar…
Redbreast Missouri Oak Irish Whiskey
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…
