Just a whiskey enthusiast from Nashville, TN looking to share the hobby I’ve grown to love.

“It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”

You might find this Irish Whiskey and think “peat cask? That’s weird.” or “No age statement? That’s a bummer.” and you might pass on it. DON’T!!

I got this solely because in 1850 John McQuire migrated from County Cork, but I am impressed!

Well done West Cork Whiskey on this Glengarrif Series! 🥃

Anyone else a sucker for Kansas City Whiskey?

A blend of bourbon, light corn whiskey and straight rye and just over 2.5% 15 year old sherry blended in.

J. Rieger for this one right!

Opinion

When Trump tells us his numbers have never been greater. That he is the most loved president. He is referring to the dollars in his bank account.

Democrats think he’s just making up polling numbers but I think he’s looking at something else. What about you?

Enjoying this Driftless Glen single barrel rye pick from Elixir Spirits in Spring Hill, TN.

A great pick! I can’t wait to make an old fashioned with this.

Happy F(Rye)day! I was surprised with a bottle of Wheelers Raid Toasted Honey Rye at cask strength.

I am surprised by how much the honey tames the mint leaf spice of the rye. It’s still on the nose, but not on the palate.

The GlenDronach Parliament 21 year Scotch.

IYKYK

I don’t think I need to say much more. This was easily my favorite birthday gift this past weekend.

We visited Leiper’s Fork Distillery this past weekend and attended their Women in Whiskey panel. It was an insightful hour of conversation from fascinating women. Master distillers, owners, consultants, blenders among them.

It was a fun way to kick off Pride Month

This is a bit more of a closeup shot. It’s etched on the hatch.

It’s Friday and that means it’s time for my new favorite game.

Guess the distillery! I’ll give you a hint. This distillery is known for its connection to Irish Red Ale!!

A new bottle for Memorial Day.

Thinking of those I served with and the ones who are no longer with us. Picked up this single barrel from the Nearest Green Distillery today.

Learned about the Lincoln County process that makes what would otherwise be bourbon, Tennessee Whiskey.

Found this bottle of scotch growing amongst the clovers in my backyard…

Oban 14 Scotch Whisky on Memorial Day. Much to mourn, not just those lost, but that their suffering can be lost to the damage being done by terrible American policy.

Here’s to hoping the clovers bring us some good luck

Friday night porch sits with a friend and this Quintessential Cedar Ridge American Single Malt - Peated in an Amontillado Sherry Cask!! 👌🏻 this bottle is like if Lagavulin had an American cousin.

This is a gem of a bottle and I’m stoked I picked it up!

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for the next round of…

Guess the distillery!!

You have four clues. I will reveal the answer tomorrow.

Bourbon crafted in Memphis and flowers crafted in Nashville.

Spring has sprung and the weather is almost good enough to allow a momentary period where I forget the country is falling apart.

Irish Whiskey, Tennessee Bourbon, Kansas City Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, Japanese Whiskey, Indiana Bourbon and an Irish/Bourbon Blend!!
