The following conversation occurred 4 weeks ago… Mrs. Limpd: Hey! Do you still have that Apple Bourbon stuff? Let’s give it a try. G-LO: You can try it, but only if you take some tasting notes. Mrs. Limpd: Don’t you ever just drink to drink? G-LO: Of course I […]
By Jove they’ve done it again! Yet another Single Barrel release by The Balvenie, but this time around, they’ve gone the Sherry butt route. Here’s what the distillery has to say about this expression: The Balvenie’s 15 year old Single Barrel Sherry Cask has been matured exclusively in […]
My son is your typical middle-aged teenager. His room is decorated in early Nuclear Devastation. He watches too much TV, plays too many video games, hasn’t met a chore that he likes, and has to dig pretty deep to say anything nice to his sisters. But he’s […]
So it’s 11:30PM on a Saturday night and I just woke up from a 2.5 hour nap to find that Mrs. G-LO and the boys were fast asleep. A normal person would have thrown in the towel and gone back to sleep, but there’s a part of me […]

If you happened to read last week’s post about the Hibiki event that we recently attended in NYC, you will recall that during the formal whisky tasting portion of the evening, we were given the opportunity to sample some Chita Grain Whisky. That stuff was super tasty and […]
On May 8, 2014, Miracle Max and I attended an event in New York called “The Art of Hibiki. A Blend of 24 Seasons”, the official launch of Hibiki 17 and Hibiki 21 in the United States. Much like last year’s Suntory 90th Anniversary event at the Noguchi […]
You know how I know I’m old? Because I’m 47 years old and this is my first time drinking Fireball Cinnamon Whisky! There has been so much talk about this stuff amongst the whisky blogerati (most of them had bad things to say about it) that I just […]
