Unpopular Opinions (Whisky Edition)

thewhiskylady - 2020-03-21

While I’m entering day 7 of quarantine, I thought it was high time for some genuine facts and openly share my “unpopular opinions” when it comes to whisky ! You’ve probably seen this trend all around YouTube a few months ago, and if you’re not familiar with YouTube videos, basically, the idea is to list your bahaviors/preferences which are going against the crowd or what …

My February Whisky Wishlist

thewhiskylady - 2016-02-04

As January appeared to be quite prolific in new liquid gold releases, I really had a hard time coming up with this month’ shortlist and selecting only 5 of all those highly-appealing nectars… (obviously, this is totally a fake excuse to explain why I’m running late on my regular schedule… ). But here it is! Glenmorangie Milsean Private Edition Milsean (pronounced ‘mill-shun’ and Gaelic for …

I’m now back on track (and actually blessing jetlag for awaking me way too early so that I can come up with this long-overdue article) to bring you the most desirable whiskies …

Weekly Review: Edinburgh Whisky Ltd “The Advocate’s Batch”

thewhiskylady - 2015-10-06

I had the chance to live in the Scottish capital city a few years back and saying that I fell in love with Edinburgh would be an understatement. From all the cities I’ve visited in my not-that-long-25-years-old-girl existence, Edinburgh really stands out with its magical atmosphere, arty vibe (especially during the summer months), charming streets & shops, tasty restaurants and overall, the most welcoming people …
