If you’re a regular reader of “It’s just the booze dancing…“, then you already know that we love a great whisk(e)y show. Sadly, ever since the Scotch Malt Whisky Society of America suspended the Philadelphia Whisky Extravaganza, we’ve been seriously lacking in large scale, Philadelphia whisk(e)y events. All […]
Just before the start of 2016, we received an email from Brass Ring Spirit Brands of Greenville, SC asking if we were interested in reviewing their new line of flavored whiskies called Whiskey Girl. Given our past experiences with flavored whiskies, I was hesitant to accept their offer, […]
The Millennium Biltmore Hotel is an imposing structure in Downtown Los Angeles that makes one think of swank charity balls for the latest disease du jour, catering for a thousand well-dressed business types, and a room service menu with $12.00 bagels for those who need $12.00 bagels after […]
