Rock Island Whisky comes to us from Douglas Laing, an independent, family-owned spirits business that’s been around since 1948. If you peruse their website, you’ll notice that their current offerings run the gamut… From single cask whiskies and bottled cocktails, to in-house blends such as The Scallywag, Timorous […]
When someone asks us what their first SIngle Malt Scotch should be, we always suggest whiskies like Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, Auchentoshan, or Balvenie because of their supreme approachability. What’s interesting about the subject of this review, i.e. Monkey Shoulder, is that two of those suggestions are used in the […]
So the story behind New Liberty Distillery’s Bloody Butcher Bourbon goes like this… In the early 1800s, European settlers in the southern United States blended their corn with a native variety. The result was Bloody Butcher corn: instantly recognizable for its striking deep red kernels and legendary fruity, […]
In the Diageo universe of Single Malt Scotch whisky, there are more than a few expressions that we would consider iconic, i.e. Caol Ila 12, Talisker 10, Dalwhinnie 15, and of course, the Lagavulin 16, to name just a few. Go to any whisky event where Diageo has […]

We’re going back to an old favorite on today’s episode of A Tasting at The Murder Table. Knob Creek 9 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon, a whiskey that we reviewed on the blog way back in June of 2010. Yes, we’ve been at this nonsense for over 12 […]
We all have our preferences. When it comes to American Whiskey, one of us prefers rye and rye-forward Bourbon, while one of us prefers wheat and wheat-forward Bourbon. A week or so ago we reviewed a wheat whiskey and we both walked (crawled?) away having enjoyed it. Will […]
We’re no strangers to Aberlour and have enjoyed many of their whiskies over the years at whisky events and our neighborhood gatherings. One particularly fiery expression of theirs has been near and dear to our hearts. A’bunadh is its name and it’s released in batches throughout the year […]
Every so often there’s a whiskey that we’ve sampled and enjoyed on numerous occasions, but for whatever reason, have never taken the time to formally review it.
