Growing up on the (New) Jersey Shore, the ocean is in my blood. So when I read ‘Made By The Sea’ on each bottle of Talisker, I think it should include ‘For when you can’t be by the sea’. But either way, I was more than happy to include this lineup to my Short Attention Span Reviews….

“Like a long drawn out, smokey & spicy smack in the face… that you never want to end.” First off, let me say that the Laphroaig #OpinionsWelcome marketing campaign is pure genius. Giving people the freedom to share their true thoughts about a range of whisky that has never been smooth or predictable. You either love…

“It’s an older bottle, but it checks out.” It’s no secret. I like old things, and sometimes, I fear change. This can clearly be seen by how tightly I hold onto my love of the Original Trilogy of Star Wars. That doesn’t mean I don’t love the recent release of The Force Awakens (we won’t…

The perfect dram for any Stormtrooper after a long day working on the Death Star. As a Star Wars fan who gravitates towards the Dark Side, it’s no surprise that I was overly excited when I heard about this release. Not only because it was inspired by the early days of Highland Park founder Magnus Eunson who…

The next installment of my Short Attention Span Reviews is the Balvenie 12yr Single Barrel. I have been quite open with my Balvenie Fanboy Status, so it should be no surprise that there will be quite a few of their reviews here. But I will be nice and spread them out. Although the 12yr DoubleWood…

This being my first official review, I will say this now. These are not meant to be mind blowing reviews. These are quick impressions of a whisky enthusiast with a short attention span. Ohh look, a bird…. That being said, I have never hidden the fact that I love pretty much anything from Laphroaig. However when…
