When the #WhiskyFabric speaks, we listen! Below is a press release from our friend, Allison Patel, announcing the birth of her newest baby, Brenne Ten… Brenne® French Single Malt Whisky Releases BRENNE TEN to Immediate Acclaim and Awards Brenne® unveils its first age-statement whisky, already named #2 World’s […]
Old bourbon has always been a mystery to me. The real and not-so real stories of its American roots from the days of Independence to the Industrial Revolution seemed to always read like a history textbook from an author who had swallowed all the passed down lore (and […]
Just thought we’d share some information about this very special Whisky event from one of our favorite distilleries… On Thursday, September 24th, 8pm GMT, the 9th annual Laphroaig Live will broadcast on the web from the island of Islay! Laphroaig is this year celebrating 200 years, and to mark […]
