I guess it’s true what they say. Three times really is a charm! This is the third time that we’re writing about the Jim Beam Devil’s Cut Bourbon (1st time: The Wookie, 2nd time: Yours Truly), but this time, one of us is actually going to taste it! […]
I first had the Yamazaki 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky five years ago, when I attended my first Scotch Malt Whisky Society Extravaganza event at The Union League in Philadelphia. Since that first tasting, I have had this whisky on numerous occasions, but I’ve never had the opportunity […]
Every once in awhile, blogging has its perks… On August 5th, I received the following email from our friends at Master of Malt:
About four weeks ago, I received an invitation from Mark Gillespie of WhiskyCast to help him out with a new project that he is undertaking (more about this in a future post). At the end of my visit, Mark asked me if I’d like a whisky sample to […]
While it’s nice to be my mother-in-law’s favorite son-in-law (interestingly enough, I am also her ONLY son-in-Law), this dubious honor comes with an occasional string attached. This past February, my in-laws asked me to pick them up in New York City after their 10-day Caribbean cruise on the […]
Remember that bottle of Laphroiag 18 that I told you about last week? The one that I purchased with the cash that I received for Father’s Day? What I neglected to tell you was that I also picked up a bottle of Highland Park 12 during this particular […]

Whenever the family asks me what I want for either (a) Christmas, (b) my birthday, or (c) Father’s Day, there is a very good chance that I will say whisk(e)y. Although I occasionally get some moaning and groaning (“Whisky? Again?” is what they usually say), they eventually realize […]
When I start to really get into a subject (i.e. craft beer, whisk(e)y, food, etc.), I can’t help but think that other people share my interests, and that whatever I am looking for will be readily available. Unfortunately, that isn’t usually the case. Looking for Three Floyds, Nikka […]
On July 9th, 1816, Argentina declared its independence from Spain. Since I’m not much of a historian, I’ll skip all the details and send you to the Wikipedia if you’d like more information about this event (click here). So the question is, what does Fernet-Branca and Pepsi Cola […]
