Spring Break Islay!
When Mrs. Satellite Engineer came up with Scotland as a Spring Break destination for us and the teenage daughters, my first thoughts went quickly to Islay. That idyllic island on the west coast is forever in my mind after three days there with the Single Cask Nation (SCN) […]
Raising a Glass to My Pappy
We come across many people who will have some measure of influence in our lives. For some, they will become titans in our young minds and become the basis of a personal Mt. Rushmore. And like Mt. Rushmore, we might build mental monuments to the four most influential […]
The Final Dram
It’s a fact of life: we all will die, even Larry King. Abe Vigoda finally did, so it really is inevitable. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Loved ones will weep, bills will keep coming, and people you hardly knew will spit on your grave. So be it. […]
Revisiting Rogue Dead Guy Whiskey

AK: Hello, Professor. It’s been a long time. G-LO: Indeed it has, Doctor! AK: Went out for burgers with the 17 year old daughter last night. Had a pretty boring soft drink to go with. I hate boring soft drinks. G-LO: Define boring. 7-up? Seltzer? Grape Ne-HI? Orange […]
Whiskey Review – Stranahan’s Sherry Cask Single Malt Whiskey
As is often the case, G-LO goes to his mail box and finds a generous sample of whiskey while I go to my mail box and find a note from Publisher’s Clearing House stating that I may be a winner. While I’m holding out hope that I may […]
A Review of Two New Kilchoman Expressions
What you see up above are photos of Islay’s very own Kilchoman Distillery that were taken by the West Coast Office (WCO) during his Single Cask Nation tour of Scotland in 2015. As I’m sure I’ve mentioned in previous posts, Scotland (Islay in particular) is a Top 5 […]
