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 barrel-aged beers you need to try

thewhiskylady - 2016-06-14

As my country is currently hosting the Euro UEFA cup this month and all I can hear while walking down the street in Toulouse are supporter songs & the tinkling of beer chops at all the café terraces  (we won’t talk about chair fights and alcohol ban here… And anyway, I think the way-too-colorful jerseys and wigs should be first on the “to ban” list …

thewhiskylady - 2016-03-17

As huge flows of locals and tourists are currently flooding the Irish Capital City to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day (more or less with style… We all know how the day will probably end up…), I thought it was a great time to shortlist my favourite spirited attractions (beside all-day pub crawls and singing Irish songs out of the tune) in Dublin, where I had the …
