You would think that there would be a healthy dose of booze infused banter whenever two guys get together to do a bit of whisky taste testing, but the truth is that during these sessions, Limpd and I continually say “Don’t lead the witness!” whenever one of us blurts out […]
A few weeks ago, Limpd and I got together at The Barthenon to sample and review the two whiskies in the above photo. Under normal circumstances, our tastings take place after my kids are asleep, which is usually after 9PM (I would have said “after our kids are […]
Several weeks ago, we received an email from Hush Moonshine asking if we’d like to sample some of their product for a possible review. While Moonshine isn’t something that we normally drink, when I noticed that Hush makes a Spiced Apple version, I just had to give it […]
We’ve all had our “Aha!” moment with whisky at some point in our lives. For me it probably happened via a sip of Maker’s Mark or Johnnie Walker Black way back in my misspent youth. For Carin Luna-Ostaseski, the founder of SIA Scotch Whisky, her “Aha!” moment occurred […]

Drinking whisky is fun, of this there is no doubt, but it’s also educational. Getting together for a tasting session is like a mini trip around the world without ever having to leave the comforts of The Barthenon. During our “travels”, we’ve been to Scotland, Ireland, Japan, India, […]
We talk a lot, maybe too much about the #whiskyfabric (don’t forget the hashtag), that internet sensational connection between people from all walks of life bound loosely or tightly by a love of our favorite spirit. The term takes a beating sometimes in the ether of social […]
Limpd: Before we get started, I gotta ask, are you gonna write this up as a conversation where you say that I said a bunch of ridiculous things that I never really said? G-LO: Maybe. We’ll see how it goes. What’s it to you? Limpd: Just curious is […]
By Jove they’ve done it again! Yet another Single Barrel release by The Balvenie, but this time around, they’ve gone the Sherry butt route. Here’s what the distillery has to say about this expression: The Balvenie’s 15 year old Single Barrel Sherry Cask has been matured exclusively in […]
