Where to enjoy a good dram in Mallorca

thewhiskylady - 2015-07-15

As you may have noticed, I had the chance to spend my Birthday weekend in sunny Mallorca. Amongst breath-taking scenery, winding mountain roads that could nearly get you killed each time you meet other vehicles, turquoise not-that-wild creeks and other greasy pintxos, Mallorca hosts an incredible number of watering holes (not only offering 484824-meters shot lines for the common bachelor-party-kind-of-tourist and its clubber counterpart). Here’s …

My Whisky essentials

thewhiskylady - 2015-07-06

As I was once again wandering on Amazon, hesitating between poodle and pug masks (I know they’re both absolutely fantastic !), I magically found myself scrolling down the results page for “whisky” (I tend to be a bit obsessional when I like something…), surfing endless seas of whisky stones and other malted gadgets. I then took a deep breath, closed the page and realised it …

thewhiskylady - 2015-07-02

How to -still- look like a respected whisky aficionado when all you’re craving for right now is another G&T, Mojito, Tequila sunrise or a large bucket of ice-cold water ? A terrible heatwave has invaded Europe since a few days, leaving us all sweaty and dehydrated, lying like stranded wales on our couches (or maybe this one just apply to me ?), praying for the …

Distillery visitor experience – Part II

thewhiskylady - 2015-06-05

After receiving so many messages from people reacting to my previous article concerning whisky tourism and more particularly the visitor experience within distilleries, I thought it could be interesting to compile the best thoughts here. I chose not to provide a comment section directly on my blog but always love discussing whisky-related topics on social networks and emails alike, so don’t feel shy if you …

Where to enjoy a good dram in Paris ?

thewhiskylady - 2015-06-03

I’ve been asked countless times for whisky-related travel tips in Paris and always came up with a few addresses I had vaguely heard about. After receiving other messages of this kind last week, I finally decided to really look into it and write a proper article on this matter. I don’t live in Paris, I never lived in Paris and I surely don’t wanna live …

Swally Shirts : when whisky meets fashion

thewhiskylady - 2015-04-22

“Swally Shirts is a Glasgow-based t-shirt design company specialising in whisky and other drink-related t-shirts. The designs are fun and simple, giving fans of good quality drinks a way of showing their love of their favourite tipple !” Reading this statement (and as my shopping sprees for whisky is almost as similar as the ones for new clothes), I must admit I was more than …

Answering the great “why whisky” question

thewhiskylady - 2015-04-19

There’s one unavoidable question which always comes up while meeting fellow whisky enthusiasts : Why Whisky ? What made you love this shiny beverage that much you started writing a blog about it ? To be honest, I wasn’t a heavy whisky drinker at all when I was younger, barely sipped some Label 5/William Peel mixed with poor quality coke while hanging out with my …

thewhiskylady - 2015-04-11

As a huge fan of George R.R Martin’s masterwork, desperately waiting for the upcoming season 5 premiere (TOMORROW !) since almost a year now, I thought it could be interesting and funny to try matching some of my favourite GOT characters with whiskies – trying to find the perfect couple on the basis of age, flavours, characteristics, packaging… I finally came up with these 7 …

My April Whisky Wishlist

thewhiskylady - 2015-04-01

Not an April fool today (would be too obvious…) but my monthly spirited wishlist ! It was actually quite hard to come up with this shortlist this month, so many great products that I’m craving to count on my whisky shelves, but my reasonable side fought a bloody battle against its devil consumer counterpart and I finally pulled myself together and managed to stick to …

Whisky, if you were a woman

thewhiskylady - 2015-03-30

“Whisky, male or female ?” “Does whisky have a gender ?” I recently came across this fierce debate a couple of times these past few weeks and thought it would almost require an entire thesis to answer such a thorny issue… But within the large and happy spirits family, whisky often stands out as the unclassifiable relative. I like to think that Whisky is actually …
