If I were a dad, I’d give my kid a 20 minute Time Out if he had the audacity to get me some shitty tie for Father’s Day. I mean, a tie? Kid, get an imagination. If you’re gonna get something cliched for your old man, make it something he’ll actually enjoy. Case in point: […]

I love my Balvenie. It is truly one of my favorite single malt scotches. It may not be the most expensive or exclusive, but it’s from my favorite region (Speyside), falls handsomely in my price range (about $45/bottle for 12-Year) and tickles my tastebuds in anticipated fancy at the mere thought of a tumbler full.

Now it seems a waste […]

Without question, our favorite “affordable” single malt Scotch at LIAS is Balvenie 15-year, absolute gold at Costco for about $40 a bottle. We would’ve loved to try that Balvenie Madeira, of course, but haven’t had the opportunity (Balvenie, if you’re out there sweet Lord of Scotch, feel free to send us a sample!). To give […]
