I’m a creature of habit. Every time I’m walking down Madison Avenue on my way to a business meeting, I’ll stop by Park Ave Liquors to take a quick look at what the new offerings are. As it so happened, when I stopped by yesterday there was a tasting going on of a Japanese whisky […]
Up for review today is a single malt by Glencadam, a distillery I wasn’t aware of until roughly two years ago when we hosted a cigar and scotch pairing together at Davidoff on 6th avenue. I was unimpressed by the Glencadam Origin 1825, the distillery’s current NAS offering, but found myself wanting to return again […]
Earlier this year, I reviewed the Yellow Label and Small Batch from Four Roses. Both scored quite well.

Today, I’ll be taking this whisky for a test-drive and seeing how this whisky stacks up to the distillery’s […]
Up for review today is McCarthy’s Oregon Single Malt Whiskey. It’s a pot distilled single malt whiskey that I’m proud to review seeing as this spirit hails from my home state, Oregon. Now, if you’re reading and aren’t well versed on the history of whiskey, America isn’t known for making great single malts. That reputation […]
Up for review today is Clyde May’s 10 Year Old Cask Strength Alabama Style Whiskey (try saying that name out loud five times fast). This cask strength whiskey is part of an annual limited release from Conecuh Ridge Distillery, though the whiskey is sourced from an unknown provider. After reviewing the company’s straight bourbon whiskey, […]
