Below are a few of the more interesting press releases that landed in our inbox this week… The West Coast Office Invites You to a Bruichladdich Tasting with Whisky Guy Rob Our friend Aaron (aka the West Coast Office) invites you to join him, along with the South Bay Whisky Tribe, […]
It’s not often that we get to try a whiskey within just a few months of its release, so whenever the opportunity arises to get our hands on a sample, we jump on it! The beauty of trying a newly released whiskey is that there are very few reviews […]
Once again, G-LO was out on the interwebz and his efforts produced several samples of Crown Royal Maple. The bottle tells me that this is Crown Royal’s fine deluxe maple flavored whisky. From the description at their website, the Crown Royal Maple is “a master blend of premium whisky finished with […]
For Jersey Week, the family went to Ireland and I found myself at the Quay’s in the Temple Bar area. While the children had a soda, I was looking for a more fortifying beverage. I had had my fill of stouts and was looking for something different and selected a […]

A while ago, our friends at Master of Malt sent some samples for our reviewing. From among the pack, I chose a bottle from a distillery that I had never tried. North British is one of seven grain distilleries in Scotland. The distillery is jointly owned by Diageo and the […]
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 […]
“Since 1816, Lagavulin single malt Scotch whisky has been made in a picturesque huddle of buildings on Lagavulin Bay. Perhaps the most beautifully situated of distilleries, Lagavulin makes arguably the most intense, smoky and rich whisky of all. For many, this is the definitive Islay malt.” – Malts.com […]
It’s always fun to spend someone else’s money, and that’s exactly what I did when I received some cash from the family for my 43rd birthday. I COULD have spent the money on something practical like clothes, but where’s the fun in that? Christmas and my birthday are […]
