Bourbon Dork: Kentucky - Spring 2015
http://bourbondork.blogspot.com/2015/05/kentucky-spring-2015.html
The ridiculous pursuit of Bourbon (.and other whiskies). Sunday, May 17, 2015. Kentucky - Spring 2015. I've just returned from Kentucky where this last week we conducted the annual barrel picking endeavor. Visits to Four Roses, Buffalo Trace, Jim Beam and Wild Turkey yielded multiple barrel picks that I'm very excited about. I'll post details in the coming weeks. The year's trip was the best to date, but now back to the real world. May 27, 2015 at 4:07 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The ridiculous pursuit of Bourbon (.and other whiskies). Sunday, April 26, 2015. Cigar Journal - Macanudo Cru Royale. I've been smoking cigars regularly for about 9 years.

From their website:. Follow the Dork by Email. I have...

Ms Whisky: September 2014
http://www.mswhisky.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Musings on my journey through the world of whisky. I've been living out of a suitcase for much of the last year, and having a good Travel Whisky has helped me feel a bit more at home. Especially for extended stays, I like being able to crack open a nice bottle with friends and kick back. The Balvenie Triple Cask 12 was my Travel Whisky of choice for my late summer trip to LA and Kansas, and it really delivered for taste and good value - the Travel Exclusive bottling is 1L!

Ms Whisky: You're going where?
http://www.mswhisky.com/2013/09/youre-going-where.html
Musings on my journey through the world of whisky. For business this week, and it was the first time I actually stayed in the city rather than passing through its airport or train station. Fortunately, I was able to get out one night for a glimpse of the city’s. And join a few colleagues at the Drake Bar and Restaurant. The pub has a cozy atmosphere with nice touches like tweed covered chairs and booths. Although the whisky menu isn't extensive it covers all of the basics, and sipping my Ardbeg. But I ra...
