Back in late March, we were fortunate enough to get schooled on all things Cognac by the great Dawn Davies of The Whisky Exchange, who just happens to know a thing or two about this famous French spirit. This schooling all went down on an episode of our […]
While we’ve reviewed a few Cognacs over the years, we’d never consider ourselves experts on the subject. We like it and would never turn it down, but can’t definitively say why we like one Cognac over another because we just don’t have enough experience with this type of […]
We have some good news and bad news about this review. First the bad news… This very limited in quantity Brandy from Boardroom Spirits was a distillery only release, so the odds are pretty good that it’s no longer available. Here’s what they had to say about it […]
Mike: So, now that I had a couple of hours to compose a few thoughts (and digest some questionable Mexican food), I am still quite impressed with the amount of expansion at Boardroom Spirits. I guess our last visit was around their 3rd anniversary and Marat was pulling […]

To understand what this really means, here’s what the bonnes gens (for you non-Français speakers, the English translation is “fine people”) at Flaviar have […]
Once again, I walked out to the mail box and found that the utility companies still want to be paid for services. G-LO on the other hand found two bottles of Bas-Armagnac. I must live on the wrong block, or maybe the postman is a little sweet on […]
