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 […]
The whisky that you see in the above photo (it’s made by William Grant & Sons, the owners of Glenfiddich, The Balvenie, Hendrick’s Gin, and so much more) made it’s US debut in early March at a bar called Reserve 101 Whiskey Bar and Cocktail Lounge which is […]
AK: Well, Señor, we meet again for another Friday night Siesta y Fiesta! G-LO: Hola, Mi Amigo! Where we headed tonight? AK: We are headed, my friend, to España! Via Scotland. G-LO: Muy bueno! It’s been many moons since I set foot on Spanish soil. I dig it! […]
In mid-January, we received an email from Dean Hurst, Director of Spirits at Bern’s Steak House in Tampa, Florida. He wanted to know if we were interested in reviewing a blended grain whisky that was specially made for Bern’s Steak House by Compass Box Whisky Company. Given that […]

A month or so ago, G-LO once again headed down to the mailbox and found another box of boozemail. I headed down to the mailbox and found begging letters from Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie. This once again confirms that G-LO really knows how to work […]
A few weeks ago, while I was sweltering in the stands at a 7U baseball tournament, G-LO was living large at Pour-A-Palooza. Normally, I would insert some sort of snarky comment contrasting my exemplary parenting skills (I was staked out in the hot sun, all for a wee […]
G-LO once again called to nag me about getting my homework in on time. Apparently, we received new boozemail which required our prompt attention. This time around, a sample of the Tomatin 12 French Oak came our way. Four years ago, I reviewed a bottle of the Tomatin 12 (my […]
