It’s Girl Scout Cookie Season, so in honor of this delightful, yearly tradition, we decided to pair one particular cookie variety with two different Islay whiskies. The goal: figure out which whisky goes best with our chosen cookie. Lemonades was the Girls Scout Cookie. Ardbeg 10 and Laphroaig […]
While Limpd was having some fun in the sun with La Famiglia in Aruba, The West Coast Office (The WCO) and Yours Truly did some experimenting with technology one fateful Friday night. The goal: Figure out a way to record a video review of the same whisky with […]
Ahhhhhhhh, The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS)… We’ve been fans of their bottlings ever since their unique drams first wet our whistle way back in 2007 when we attended our first Single Malt & Scotch Whisky Extravaganza at Philadelphia’s Union League. Pretty shiny packaging. Off the wall tasting […]
My In-laws, in an effort to support the blog (or perhaps hasten my demise because I am not Italian, and because there is a certain amount of Neapolitan-ness in their bloodlines), presented me with a $100 gift card to a local liquor store. In this instance, local meant […]
If you’re a regular reader of “It’s just the booze dancing…” then you should already be familiar with Single Cask Nation (click here to find out about their upcoming Whisky JewBilee in Manhattan and Mt. Kisco, NY). If not, here’s a brief refresher as to who they are and what […]
We might finally be close to catching up on our Scotch Malt Whisky Society homework! Our last Outturn sample pack included the following: Cask No. 9.62 aka “Mouth-wateringly sharp and sweet”. Cask No. 27.97 aka “Glazed cashews and lemon lollies”. Cask No. 29.104 aka “Not for wee boys”. […]
My first experience with Laphroaig occurred several years ago when our very generous friend Miracle Max brought a bottle of the Laphroaig 10 to a whisky tasting hosted by The ROK. When he uncorked that bottle, it was like he laid a smoldering camp fire down in the […]
Some days it’s okay to have a little hangover. Today is one of those days. Some days it’s great to be a Booze Dancer. Yesterday was that day. Last night our friends at Beam Global invited us to join them at a fabulous event they hosted at the […]
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 […]
Public speaking frightens me. The Tyranny of Tradition has beautifully illustrated what I feel like whenever I have to give a presentation, make a toast at a wedding, or even give a status report during a staff meeting. Thanks to Simon Brooking, the Malt Master Ambassador for Laphroiag,
