Old bourbon has always been a mystery to me. The real and not-so real stories of its American roots from the days of Independence to the Industrial Revolution seemed to always read like a history textbook from an author who had swallowed all the passed down lore (and […]
A month or so ago, G-LO once again headed down to the mailbox and found another box of boozemail. I headed down to the mailbox and found begging letters from Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie. This once again confirms that G-LO really knows how to work […]
Back in May, we received six whisky samples from Impex Beverages. The collective name for these whiskies is The Exclusive Malts Batch #8 which includes a Balmenach 2007, Laphroaig 2005, Invergordon 1984, Irish Whiskey 2002, North Highland 2005, and Speyside 1991. Rather than share the samples and compare notes, […]
Heaven Hill’s Pikesville Straight Rye is the second whiskey that Limpd and I sampled on that fateful night in mid-August when I once again darkened his door with my bag o’whiskey in hand (given my rather average stature, it’s amazing that I can darken any door. Or maybe […]
Once again, G-LO darkened my doorstep (it seems I start a lot of posts with this). Truth be told, I invited G-LO over for a short session. When I queried if it was to be whiskey or beer, he suggested that we do some research. This is his […]
I’ve heard of Calvados. I’ve read about Calvados. But I’ve never actually tasted Calvados. That all changed when I attended a Calvados tasting that was led by Jason Wilson (he wrote Boozehound), a man that absolutely adores Calvados. How do I know that Mr. Wilson adores Calvados? That’s […]
A few weeks ago, while I was sweltering in the stands at a 7U baseball tournament, G-LO was living large at Pour-A-Palooza. Normally, I would insert some sort of snarky comment contrasting my exemplary parenting skills (I was staked out in the hot sun, all for a wee […]
The honorable G-LO-san and I recently experienced the serenity and harmony that is a well known Japanese whisky. Once the musing started, we found ourselves immersed in tranquility as we became one with nature and its beauty in a glass of the “water of life”. Then the kids […]

About four weeks ago, the G-LO Clan attended a college graduation party for the daughter of our good friend Rob. About ten minutes after our arrival, Rob says to me, “Let’s take a walk. I have some whiskey that I’d like you to try.” I of course obliged Rob’s […]
