I personally love a good burger, but some people don’t – and that’s why I’ve developed this delicious barbecue marinade for steaks (it works just fine on pork and chicken as well, though). It makes for absolutely delicious and tender meat, and takes about 15 minutes to make – but you’ll need to leave it […]
Dalwhinnie 15 year old is considered by a few to be a bit of a lady’s drink, not quite suitable as a man’s dram. How it earned this reputation I do not know, though I would suppose that it is due to a combination of its mild mannered characteristics and the label being just a […]
I was recently fortunate enough to be contacted by the good people over at Bushmills, offering me a free bottle of their original expression. I figured that the least I could do in return would be to write a little review of what I consider to be Ireland’s version of Whyte & Mackay (a favourite […]

Personally, I find it to be a perfectly good every day whisky and one which I’ve had on more than one occasion. In the same price […]
Having previously reviewed two of the cheaper expressions from the Buffalo Trace Distillery, I thought it about time to give some attention to my favorite; Blanton’s Original Single Barrel. While you can find some general distillery information in the Ancient Age post, I don’t think any review of Blanton’s would be complete without the mention […]
