In honor of Ardbeg Day 2012, I’ve chosen to review the Ardbeg Uigeadail. But wait! I’m getting ahead of myself. Before I get on with this review, let’s find out what Ardbeg Day is all about. Ardbeg has the following to say about this worldwide celebration…
The kids ask for toys and Daddy asks for whisky. That’s how Christmas has worked around my house for the past several years. Since the holidays are fast approaching, I need to pull together this year’s whisky wish list. Thanks to the interwebz, finding out about new releases has […]
Whenever the family asks me what I want for either (a) Christmas, (b) my birthday, or (c) Father’s Day, there is a very good chance that I will say whisk(e)y. Although I occasionally get some moaning and groaning (“Whisky? Again?” is what they usually say), they eventually realize […]
