Yes. The Gargoyle is there. On the label. On the neck. And even on the cap. But this time around, there’s no Arrogance or Self Righteousness to be found. Deliciousness is what this IPA is all about. It says so on the label. Lemondrop and El Dorado Hops? […]
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 […]
If you read our “hard boiled” review of Single Cask Nation’s “Undisclosed” Islay Single Malt, then you already know that I have a thing for Crime Fiction. Whether it be the heartfelt “DC Noir” of George Pelecanos, the rapid fire writing and revisionist history infused insanity of James […]
Ready for a road trip? This one’s taking you across the pond. Well, it took my parents across the pond – all the way to Ireland to celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary. Having done some photography for Teeling Whiskey, I was able to pull a few strings and got them a sneak preview […]

The other day, G-LO opened some recently received boozemail and discovered samples of two different whiskies from Crown Royal. He tackled the Northern Harvest Rye review and I took on the Hand Selected Barrel review. Over the years, we have reviewed the XR, the Maple, the XO, the Monarch 75th […]
