A while back, we found a fantastic assortment of little tiny bottles on G-LO’s front step. In the care package, were sample bottles of Four Roses (Yellow Label, Small Batch, and Single Barrel), Carpano Antica, Punt E Mes, and Templeton Rye. When it comes to rye whiskey, I am always a little confused as […]
If I were to play word association with most people, the first word that would pop into their head when I say October would most likely be Halloween. Not so for yours truly! Whenever someone mentions the month of October, the first thing that pops into my head […]
One of the highlights from the 2013 Whisky Jewbilee was watching Jim Rutledge of Four Roses rinse my smoky dram coated glass with Four Roses Yellow Label Bourbon and then having him fill it with their 125th Anniversary Small Batch Bourbon. This memorable moment reminded me that I still had […]
The World. It’s a pretty nice place in the galaxy and one that we all want to visit every corner of. We must since we all talk about world travel: “I want to see the world!” “When we retire, we’re going to see the world.” “Dad, can we […]

On Thursday, October 10th, Limpd and I played hookie from work so that we could head on up to Manhattan for the Jewish Whisky Company’s 2013 Whisky Jewbilee which took place at Zanger Hall on West 34th Street, just one block away from Madison Square Garden and Penn […]
If you turn back the clock 50 years, you’ll land on 1963. In 1963, my parents weren’t yet married, and I wouldn’t be born for another 4 years. Now that I’ve told you about two things that didn’t happen in 1963, here is a list of 10 things […]
