What Are You Willing To Do For Whiskey?
The emergence and continued existence of reality shows on television seems to prove rather conclusively that people will do just about anything if they deem the carrot dangled in front of them to be delicious enough for their tastes. Working on this premise, the humans working for the Label 5 whiskey brand have decided they would like to make people jump through a variety of hoops and promote their whiskey […]
Cigars? Whiskey? BBQ? What’s The Catch?
If somebody told you that you could go to an all-you-can-eat BBQ, smoke four Rocky Patel cigars and wash it down with all the Glenlivet, Jameson and Chivas Regal whiskey samples you want, what are the odds you would claim that “somebody” was crazy? Well, consider WhiskeyCritic as your new crazy best friend because we are that somebody telling you about “Smoke” – the BBQ/Cigar/Whiskey fest that will be occurring […]
Every Whiskey Tells A Story, Don’t It?
Most people used to have whiskey for drinking, but if you lived in Akron, Ohio a hundred years ago [or whatever measurement of time the millennials and sub-millenials and uber-millennials use to describe the 1950s] then you came to a realization that whiskey could only carry you a certain distance and at that distance, something else had to be done. What had to be done turned out to be painting. […]
The Whiskey Wedding
Your brother, best friend, college buddy or cousin twice removed – after all, it’s not really going to matter by the end of the reception – is getting married and you’re invited. This means several things, many of them itchy and uncomfortable – but it also means that you will undoubtedly be submitted to the curse of the open bar whiskey. The poison you pick will surely be […]
Smell Ya Later
Admit it, you have always wanted to smell like you crawled out of a whiskey – and perhaps, many times you have – but now, through the magic of science and whiskey, you can smell like the inside of a whiskey bottle all the time and without the hangover – and probably the ladies, because we are not sure if the whiskey scent is going to be a chick magnet […]
Our Drinking Has A Whiskey Problem
It would seem to go without saying – at least much saying, anyway – that you don’t have to tell a person how to drink their whiskey. Just fill your favorite glass receptacle with the appropriate amount of your favorite whiskey, put said glassy receptacle to your lips, tilt head ever so slightly [guzzling is frowned upon, naturally – this isn’t your frat kegger] and feel the subsequent […]
Our Kingdom For A Dram
Utterly disgusted by the non-dram-like 25 ml and 35 ml measurements which they have currently been forced to sell spirits [but more importantly, whisky] by officials of the National Measurement Office [a Monty Python skit in the making if there ever was one], the organizers of the upcoming Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival are having dreams of drams and have begun casting their evil eye on the NMO and […]
Wait…Isn’t Every Wednesday “Whiskey Wednesday”?
If you live on the East Coast of the USA and you were thinking of making a run at the gift store in Mount Vernon just in case you got lucky and snagged one of those George Washington Rye Whiskey bottles, chances are, you may have already had a Plan B in mind. However, in the event your Plan B doesn’t sound as good as it may have when you […]
Get Some Of George’s Old Goat
Beginning this week – and provided you can get to Virginia – some of George Washington’s old hooch will go on sale. America’s first president loved his rye whiskey and the George Washington Distillery in Virginia will recreate that liquid using local grain, water and going by Washington’s original recipe and techniques of the time. Washington’s original distillery ran from 1798 to 1814 [when it burned down] and was one […]
The Name Is Jameson, Jameson Empire
When you are arguably [let the arguments commence!] the most well-known whiskey brand in the world [said in thundering MC voice intonation], the perks come fast and furious and one of those is the opportunity to sponsor film industry award shows such as the Jameson Empire Awards, a sort of second-tier [behind the BAFTA’s – let more arguing commence!] British-based award show associated with film magazine Empire. Naturally, it goes […]
Whiskey, Green Underwear, Whiskey, Bacon – All The Essentials For St. Patrick’s Day
You see it coming. You’ve been preparing since February 3, 1999 – some of you longer than that – and now St. Patrick’s Day is only a single day away. The vast majority will likely not be waiting until Sunday and will instead be celebrating on Saturday, St. Patrick’s Day Eve. For those living in Ireland, UK or most of Europe, there will be no shortage of pubs to locate […]
Streams Of Whiskey Are A’Flowin’ This Weekend
Despite the impending deluge of amateur night fast approaching for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations this weekend, are you intending to be “goin’ where streams of whiskey are flowin’”? You will if the Pogues have anything to say about it…
Let ‘em Eat Green Irish Whiskey Cake!
The amateurs will be out cavorting in their green garb this weekend to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day but you can at least calm your frazzled nerves about the impending faux-Irish frenzy with a little slice of cake using some of your Jameson Whiskey stash [or whatever you prefer, really]. There are adult and kid versions of the Green Irish Whiskey Cake but the best part of the recipe is that […]
Kilbeggan Is Here – Get Out Your Knitting Needles
After many years of being held hostage in Ireland, Kilbeggan has finally made the trip across the pond and is now available in all 50 states [thanks to Beam buying out the Cooley Distillery] – this turn of events makes the Irish leery and the Americans happy…
John Jameson – Railroad Inventor, Whiskey Saver, Prussianization Preventer
John Jameson was a talented fellow – but you probably did not know how talented he was until you saw this commercial for Jameson Whiskey. The commercial depicts Jameson inadvertently stopping the one-ship Prussian Excursion of 1807 by inventing the Irish railway system [before it actually came into acknowledged existence in 1834] while bypassing buxom Scottish lasses and tossing off the engineer to save many barrels of his famous whiskey on a runaway […]
Jefferson’s Bourbon Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review
Jefferson’s Bourbon Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey seems to be a popular bourbon with good reviews. Those reviews did state that as far as alcohol is concerned, this is a fairly light experience, even though the liquid itself is full-bodied and syrupy. I became curious and eventually purchased a bottle for $30.00. The bourbon is a striking deep orange color in the bottle, and I can tell from swirling […]
