Two jokes about Scottish frugality, as told by The Balvenie Brand Ambassador: What’s the difference between a Scotsman and a canoe? The canoe tips occasionally. What’s the difference between a Scotsman and a coconut? There’s a chance of getting a drink out of a coconut I never realized Scotland’s […]
At around 2AM Monday morning, a young college student in Philadelphia (we’ll call him AR) sent the following email to The Hip Flask and I:
I picked up this bottle of Rock Art Brewery’s Jasmine Pale Ale at Vic & Whit’s Sandwich Shop in Saco, Maine during our summer vacation this past August. To be honest, I don’t know much about this brewery, but since I liked the label and was intrigued by […]
In case you haven’t noticed, this is the second whisk(e)y review that features a miniature bottle in the photo. Basically, I ran out of new whiskies to review (don’t be alarmed. I still have plenty left to drink), so while in the middle of a beer run two […]

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 […]
