Sall Whisky: A new Nordic Distillery in the pipeline!

thewhiskylady - 2016-11-24

I recently came across another crowdfunding campaign for (yet again) a new craft distillery, I may have just shut the page like “Come’on I’m not putting one more $ on another business school project!” but then I read it ’til the end and my inner whisky-loving self (and also my world-whisky-fan self & I-love-everything-Scandinavian-so-much-I-Still-Don’t-Know-Why-I’m-Living-in-the-Southwest-of-France self) couldn’t just ignore it without noticing Sall Whisky was actually one …

5 Whisky-fuelled gifts for a boozy Christmas

thewhiskylady - 2016-11-22

WOW WOW WOW. It’s already this time of the year again! We were still wandering around in our neon-pink swimsuits, poolside, sipping on coconut milk straight from the coconut (well, for the luckiest of us… I wasn’t part of this team though, I was more the one already shopping for scarves and gloves in Edinburgh in the middle of August) a few months back and yet …

5 Whisky Hotspots You Need To Visit While In London

thewhiskylady - 2016-11-17

You may or may not know it, but I used to live in London. Yeap, right in the heart of formerly-cool-and-alternative Camden Town, where I settled just after turning 18, with my black & pink hair, working as a translator by day and spending all my money attending concerts by night (\m/). I still get this kind of emotional link to London each time I …

What Alternatives to Glencairn Whisky Glasses?

thewhiskylady - 2016-11-16

3 Reasons Why You Should Give NAS Whiskies A Chance

thewhiskylady - 2016-11-14

Let’s put it like that: if America dared to elect a blond-haired-political newbie as president, there’s no reason why you couldn’t dare trying out those NAS whiskies you’ve been despising for so long, just because they took the risk to drop the all-mighty age statement.  Just to make sure we’re all on the same page here: NAS whiskies refer to “Non Age Statement” whiskies, you …

3 Collaboration whiskies that seriously rock!

thewhiskylady - 2016-11-09

You may or may not know it but I’m a huge fan of music and yeap, I’m also an unrepentant metalhead. Actually, one of my biggest regrets in life has always been not to be able to play any kind of instrument (no, the flute in high school doesn’t count, and I was pretty bad at it…) or sing in tune. When I first heard …
