G-LO: We sure did pack a lot in during our short trip to Chicago. That “Maximize your time!” mantra of yours works every single time we get together. I’m talking three bars, one brewpub, a diner, a coffee shop, several liquor stores, a massive whisky show, a distillery, and a […]
G-LO: Yo, Limpd! It’s about time we made it up to Boardroom Spirits for a visit. I guess it takes a distillery and tasting room expansion celebration for us to make it out to Lansdale. LimpD: That and for the stars to align so that we’re both free […]
Last Friday night, whilst Mrs. G-LO and my Eldest Son (Marco aka Coco Lopez) were occupied with a high school theater performance (he was performing, she was spectating) of a play based upon the works of Edgar Allen Poe, I heard a rapping at my backyard door. When […]
The other week, my youngest headed over to his buddy’s house (coincidentally, Mr. G-LO’s house) for an afternoon of tearing through the neighborhood, or at the very least, sitting quietly on a couch playing video games. When he returned home for dinner, he was bearing gifts. Naturally, as […]

In addition to the standard issue 750ml bottle, this past summer, Tincup released the Nugget size bottle which holds 375ml and the Motherlode […]
What you see in the above photos is a whiskey which comes packaged in a bottle made to look like a bar of gold. Not surprisingly, the name of this whiskey is The Original Gold Bar Premium Blend, and it just so happens to hail from the city […]
Way back in late August of 2017, Mrs. G-LO, The Boys, and I experienced some of the most bizarre and breathtakingly beautiful terrain that we have ever seen, in the place that they call Yellowstone National Park. During our travels in Western Wyoming, we… Got frighteningly close to […]
Way back in December of 2017, Limpd, @SamSpeers (of Twitter and #WhiskyFabric fame), and Yours Truly took part in a WhiskyCast Tasting Panel with none other than Mr. WhiskyCast himself, Mark Gillespie. During this pre-Christmas tasting, we sampled three whiskies: Oban 14; The Glenburgie 15 from the Ballantine’s […]
Once again, my generous neighbor and drinking task-master darkened my doorstep. In his hands were a number of samples that MUST be reviewed (his words, not mine. Can’t I just drink, savor, and NOT be REQUIRED to take notes every once in a while? Work! Work! Work! That’s […]
After our beautiful 24 hours on Islay, the Spring Break 2018 trip to Scotland continued from Glasgow as we headed north to Ballachulish. Exiting the airport in the rented Land Rover was… challenging. We weren’t on Islay anymore. There were other cars to tailgate, pass, ward off and not hit. Yet, no […]
