A wee nip of the good stuff (from Ireland)

March 22, 2020March 22, 2020 / Robb Gibb, PGA / Leave a comment

My love of all things Ireland started in 2001 when my college golf team took a trip over to the Emerald Isle to play three years worth of golf in ten days.

Boondocks 8 Year Port Barrel Finish American Whiskey

September 1, 2019September 2, 2019 / Robb Gibb, PGA / 1 Comment

I had a long chat with one of my close friends about the merits of port barrel finished bourbon and we determined that if done correctly they are excellent, but even done correctly they do have a fairly unique quality to them that honestly isn’t for everyone. This brings me back to an earlier point … Continue reading Boondocks 8 Year Port Barrel Finish American Whiskey

An honest review of Lusty Claw

November 18, 2018November 18, 2018 / Robb Gibb, PGA / 3 Comments

Okay, so the backstory: I was out in Chicago back in June for work and stopped in at a highly recommended honey hole liquor store on the west side of the city to do a bit of bourbon hunting.
