While everyone is well aware that Philadelphia is one of America’s Greatest Beer Cities (way back in 2011 we gave you 50 reasons why it is!), it turns out that we’re fast becoming one of America’s Greatest Distilling Cities too (Philadelphia is the home of the American Whiskey […]
For the 2nd year in a row, G-LO and I had the pleasure of attending the American Whiskey Convention which was once again held at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Phightin’ Phils. For the unencumbered, planning to attend said event would involve the following: An email announcing the event […]
This was a fun little experiment courtesy of our friend Rob… Take an 8 ounce Mason jar. Add one teaspoon of bitter orange peel (the kind you would use to make a Belgian Wit. He picked up a bag at his local homebrewer supply shoppe) and a teaspoon […]
Once again, G-LO received his weekly booze mail shipment. In dividing the spoils, I was tasked with writing up the George Dickel No. 12. This is a Tennessee Whisky made by George A. Dickel & Co., one of many manufacturers that find themselves under the umbrella of the Diageo Empire. […]

“I’ve often compared Blended Scotch Whisky to a symphony orchestra, where all of the musicians are playing in unison and no one soloist stands out as they play the same composition seamlessly as one, while a Single Malt Scotch Whisky is like a jazz soloist (or a jazz […]
This time last year is when when we first started telling you about the American Whiskey Convention, an event that was held at Citizens Bank Park in South Philadelphia on March 25, 2016. We are happy to report that this event is once again on the March calendar […]
