Upcoming Bay Area Whisky Tasting – “Tour de Scotland”
Yeah, I'm not giving you much notice on this one. I've been busy. Still it's well worth looking into as there's some interesting stuff on the pour list...plus, since the Tour de France ends on Sunday and that always leaves a gaping hole in my life, it'll be nice to have another tour to look … Continue reading Upcoming Bay Area Whisky Tasting – “Tour de Scotland”
Kilchoman Single Cask Release, The Whisky Shop Edition – Review
I hate to gloat, especially since friends and family back in the Midwest received an early snow this past weekend, complete with power KO'ing fury and wet, slushy stuff that I'm sure made driving fun, but we've had an exceptional past several days here in San Francisco.

The Whisky Shop, San Francisco, CA
In nearly the last place you'd expect to find a cache of great whisky in San Francisco, The Whisky Shop is nestled in the back... wait, ok, let me rephrase that.
