With the Superbowl on the TV and friends and family over until at least halftime, I had to provide some liquid refreshments. For my brother, a six pack of Labatt’s would do. However, for some of the craftier members of the viewing audience, I selected two bombers from […]
On January 20th of this year, Josh Zollweg of joshZie’s Whisky Review created a group on Facebook called Whisky Bloggers.
