We stopped off at the piano bar within the Wentworth in Jackson, NH, after dinner the other night to have a shot or two of scotch. We had done this last year and it was a lot of fun, hanging with the old money crowd and watching...

hello – missing Scotland. want to find Shetland oat cakes or at least oatcakes that are great. like the ones without added sugar and strange stuff. in addition to oatcakes would be fun to find a scottish pub that has the mood...

Did you do any single-malt tastings? And speaking of whisky, are some tasting rooms open for walk-ins, or do you have to make appointments?

Okay, so while I enjoy whisky and scotch, I don’t know as much about the subjects as I’d like. I have an old bottle of Canadian Club whisky that I inherited from my Grandma’s (RIP) collection of very old things...

Well, I’m getting pretty close to which whisky that I really like. I’ve been trying Scotch, Irish Whisky and Bourbon. I’m on a limited budget, so the expensive brands are out. But These are the brands that...

I never miss a visit to Harrods food halls during my trips to London every couple of years. The vibrancy, diversity of goods and displays are wonderful. The wine and whisky selections are terrific as well. Also, I like to eat at...

Tough to go wrong in that area. Randol’s, Mulate’s, Enola’s. Maybe a touch touristy but the atmosphere is neat. Is Whisky River Landing still there, or did the floods get it? If you have the means to cook or...

We are having a few people (10) over in early October for a Scotch “Tasting”. I don’t know much about the wonderful Scotches I’ve tasted and thought this would be a fun way to compare a few. Although I would...

I would keep drinking whisky. But if you insist...why not try a vodka martini with a whisky wash?

my brother went with my parents as a “hoot” for mymother’s bday on a monday to do the slots and watch the races(gimicky, and fun, i guess) they didn’t expect anything but inedible food. they said that it...

+). The fourth course was an outstanding lamb with greenmarket vegetables (onions, carrots, and something green and leafy), Laphroaig whisky, and mint. The lamb was perfectly cooked and very tender. The whisky sauce gave it a...

suggest Au pied de Cochon. The ambiance is great and the food really is good without being pretentious. For drinks after, Electric Avenue on Crescent is fun if you like 80s music (it’s only 80’s music). Otherwise, go...

Lots of good suggestions here, particularly Handy and Sazerac 18. Here are some other American whiskies that rival (but taste different than) anything Scotland puts out. Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 20 year old Bourbon....

Well, the APdC managed to surprised me again! I called for an early dinner; they had only one place at the “second” bar, I hesitated about 2 sec. and went with it; and it turned out to be really fun, albeit less...

There is a twist to this that you can employ, and that is using food colouring, It is actually more deceiving that a blind tasting. A piece of flourescent green peeled radish is very difficult to identify. So is blue whisky. And...
