Highly-coveted (and incredibly rare) Stitzel-Weller juice in the form of Very Xtra Old Fitzgerald this Tuesday. No, I haven’t dipped my toes into vintage bourbon yet, I feel that I need to cut my teeth/palate on some more readily attainable bourbon first!

Last night’s dinner was a something special, thanks to @craigellachie and @herwhiskylove. From the new 33-year to the whole suckling pig, everything at @thecannibalnyc was just 👌

#FiddichThursday means it’s almost Friday, and that deserves a little celebration. Time to kick back and relax with a dram (or two) of the Malt Master’s Edition from the stag.

Heading into the holiday season with a bottle of High West’s fantastic Rendezvous Rye in hand!

Throwback Thursday to trying out a few of Glendronach’s exceptional single cask expressions at @themalt_whisky out of these fabulous grappa glasses. My favorite of the night was this 21-year sherry bomb from 1993. Now I’m just trying to come up with an excuse to fly back to Taiwan to revisit the place!

Up until recently, Macallan was about the Sherry Oak expressions for me, and the Fine Oak range didn’t make sense to me. In recent months though, I’ve found myself appreciating the 15-year Fine Oak, a more delicate and balanced Macallan. Do you like the Fine Oak expressions, or is Sherry Oak still Macallan’s finest?

Another ultra premium entry to the Solist line from Kavalan, the Manzanilla Sherry is a dense, deep and luscious delight. This is one to sit and savor, its flavors less obvious than the punchier Fino or Amontillado cousins.

Last night was nightmarish commute for many New Yorkers, so we tucked into a few drams of @Aberlour’s new Casg Annamh at the @jasonscott studio in TriBeCa. This new NAS triple-cask, non-chill-filtered is a fruity, rich and spicy delight.

Throwback to (only 2 days ago) Single Cask Nation’s Joshua Hatton visiting Drammer’s Club and bringing all the goodies, from the Stones of Stenness 2004 /13yo to the sublime Undisclosed Speyside 1989 / 28yo.

Highland Park Valkyrie to get us going. This NAS scotch took home the Chairman’s Trophy in the 2017 Ultimate Spirits Challenge, and though it’s not my favorite Highland Park, the youth of this juice gives it some zing that I like coming back to.

Falling leaves, autumnal colors and this 40ppm beauty. I’ve been looking forward to exploring more peated scotches outside of my usual Laphroaig and Lagavulin. This Port Charlotte does not disappoint, though I would be curious to try some of this same juice at a older age.

Some ‘Fiddich in a glencairn and precision balance in a pipe. The glencairn is still my favorite glassware for smaller pours. What’s your favorite glass?

Autumn weather calls for some Limousin Rye from Dancing Goat Distillery. I was lucky to be gifted a mini bottle of this by @scotchandtime a short while ago and am impressed by the distillery’s use of the solera method with its own distillate makes this a great pickup if you can find it for a very reasonable price!

Lush and luxurious are two words that come to mind with the Balvenie Doublewood 17-year. This decadent pour comes with exceptional balance, without the sherry-bomb style that we’re all so familiar with from many other whiskies.

About last night’s drams… Wow! When @glenfiddichar and @drammersclub get together, you know it’s going to be a spectacular night of crazy rare pours and great company. Thanks again to @hicharlieprince and @marlontulaszewski for hosting.

Nikka Yoichi 15 isn’t easy to find, nor is it cheap, but this incredible expression is another prime example of brilliant Japanese whisky. I’m hoping this one doesn’t disappear like others in favor of a no-age-statement whisky.

Another young craft distillery has been making quality spirits just outside of Chicago in Evanston, Illinois. I had the pleasure of meeting FEW Spirits founder Paul Hletko and sampling his award-winning whiskey a few months ago, and am looking forward to more collaboration and unique expressions.

Macallan Mondays with the always elegant Macallan M, with its gorgeous Lalique decanter. I missed out on epic @drammersclub event with @macallannicolas and @macallanraquel, but fingers crossed I’ll get to sample some of this beautiful whisky someday.

My first encounter with The Glenrothes was a bottle of the Select Reserve that I purchased because the bottle was short enough to fit in a gift basket. Since then, I’ve become a big fan of the brand and look forward to their new releases, and the new core range definitely impresses. My picks are the Whisky Maker’s Cut and the 18-year-old.

Though I prefer the standard 15-year-old Solera from the stag, the Glenfiddich Select Cask is a great daily-sipper and easy choice when passing through travel retail.

Something bright and shiny to cheer up another grey morning here in NYC. How many of you have tried the Kavalan Fino Sherry Cask? And how do you rate this against Kavalan’s other Sherry cask?

Kickstarting this week with this epic Highland Park 1968. For when the morning java just isn’t strong enough…

Tried something new recently. Relativity Whiskey uses “Compression Finishing” technology mimicking “the seasons of nature and enhances the whiskey’s secondary maturation process”. How this all works is far beyond my comprehension, but the resulting whiskey is definitely tasty. Anyone else try this newcomer yet?

Thinking back to my visit with @Breuckelendistilling and tasting their BiB wheated Project No.1. This is my favorite of the young craft distillery’s range and I can’t wait for a No.2 to appear sometime in the future!

@Glendronach’s recent teaser pic of the #Revival’s return has me pouring myself a dram of the older mothballed release with fingers crossed that the new juice lives up to the sherried goodness of the previous Revival.

It’s #WhistlepigWhiskeyWednesday as @whisky_nate would remind us. Nothing exotic here, but this 10-year-old straight rye always makes for a tasty dram.

Some cooler weather has me looking forward to winter months tucking into some peated scotches like this quartet of Laphroaig. Hoping to try some of the new Cairdeas 2018 soon!

A quick #TBT to that time I got to try this hand-filled solera beauty straight from the Glenfiddich Distillery courtesy @Glenfiddichar with the rest of the New York #whiskyfabric, and even a DC interloper (I’m looking at you, @scotchandtime).
