A long while ago, G-LO received some boozemail. While he works the corners of the whisky world like … well, like someone working a street corner, he is able to score samples from time to time. Fortunately, he shares his samples and passed along this bottle from Single […]
Chapter 1 – The Package It was an unusually cold April evening. G-LO decided to work a bit later than usual. The wife and kids were out of town. The office…a veritable ghost town thanks to Spring Break, Passover, and Easter falling on the same week. If ever […]
Several years ago, when we first started up this here blog, we were having issues with any whisky that came from a distillery whose name began with the letter “T”. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe it was a Tamdhu (we called it “Tam-don’t”) and a […]
Buckle up, Boys and Girls! G-LO and I are taking you on a rip roaring, pedal to the metal road trip through the Rocky Mountains and Big Sky country! Our journey begins in Bozeman, MT where we sample some RoughStock Montana Pure Malt Whisky. Our second stop will […]

Glenlivet. Glenfiddich. Glen Grant. Glenfarclas. Glengoyne. Glenmorangie. Glenrothes. Glen Campbell. Scott Glenn. Glengarry Glen Ross (a double Glen!). There are other Glens out there.
