thewhiskylady - 2015-09-01

Yesterday was definitely not my usual kind of day (it actually didn’t even start with an hour-long inner struggle with myself to decide whether I’d rather sleep a bit more or have some breakfast…), I had the chance to spend a day in Paris to meet Alexandre Ricard and the (f*******) A-MA-ZING team behind the second largest wine & spirits group in the world. Here’s …

Where to enjoy a good dram in Amsterdam

thewhiskylady - 2015-08-23

As you know (or maybe not if you don’t follow my adventures on social media – some of you may not be interested in seeing my cat sleeping in a frying pan after all…) I spent a weekend in the beautiful capital of The Nertherlands a few weeks ago.

Weekly Review : AnCnoc 18 YRS

thewhiskylady - 2015-08-21

About the distillery : In 1892, John Morrison purchased the Knock Estate and farm. Shortly after, he uncovered a spring on Knock Hill’s southern slopes.

In conversation during the evening, the friends’ national pride was somewhat piqued by the fact that all of them had brought Scotch and discussion turned to how a …

4 independent whisky bottlers to watch out!

thewhiskylady - 2015-08-12

Alongside the rise of craft distilling and its countless micro-tiny-family-owned distilleries (still thinking of installing a pot still in my basement to enter the market – my mother use to make tasty homemade marmalades, I could totally sale my future juice as a recipe inherited from my ancestors’ love of fine gastronomy and traditions…), independent bottlers are also spreading the whisky world, scrupulously sourcing and …
