Scotch on the Bayou
Share
Loving life in south Louisiana with a wee dram of Scotch whisky, or two
Join me as we look back on our unforgettable March journey through Scotland, a trip filled with great whisky, wonderful friends, fascinating history, and unreal experiences.
From the Independent Spirits Festival in Leith and blind tastings with Roy from Aqvavitae and the Scotch 4 Dummies crew, to earning a Diploma in Single Malt from the Edinburgh Whisky Academy, this trip was packed with highlights. We also spent time with dear friends in Glasgow, enjoyed drams at the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, experienced a special warehouse tasting at Glasgow Distillery, and visited historic Lindores Abbey.
The trip concluded with a once-in-a-lifetime experience celebrating Mark's birthday.
I'll be sharing the people, places, and pours that made this one of our favorite Scotland adventures—and why we're already looking forward to returning in November.
Slainte Y'all!

The move is complete. The whisky room is coming together. The new studio is cooperating enough to FINALLY get back on air. Oh how I have missed you all.

Turns out Scotch tastes pretty good at higher elevation too. Slainte, Y'all!

Stellar blind tasting last night with some unique and amazing drams. So proud of .rayner.465 for nailing the stats on the second dram!
The beauty of a blind challenge is that marketing and perception are striped away. It's just you and the whisky. Enjoying it without pretense or expectations. You truly learn so much tasting this way.
Big thanks to Roy and David for organizing yet again such a special evening. Not only was the whisky top notch but it brought in so many whisky friends! The very best part!
Now, on to the main event today... film and drams! in Leith!

Loving. Generous. Whip Smart. Resilient. Sharp-witted. Strong. My mom, Marilyn. She was the greatest. I'm so thankful our family was there with her as she made her way to the heavens.
She made sure those she loved had what they needed. She taught me to believe I could do anything I wanted, even when she didn't understand or agree with it.
If you knew her, you were quite fortunate. I was blessed to have such an incredible mother. I'll miss her so much, but she'll always be with me in my heart, mind, and occasional snarky comeback.
All the prayers, well wishes, and good juju sent to me and Mark, my brother, Ethan, and sweet dad, Larry, are greatly appreciated. We will need them.
I'll see you again one day, Mom. I promise. - Your Dear One.

You’ve got that one bottle, don’t you? Sitting there. Untouched. Waiting for the “perfect moment.”
Well friend, this is the moment. 🥃
Join me TONIGHT on Scotch on the Bayou LIVE. We're talking about why we whisky lovers sometimes hold back—and how to finally enjoy those bottles we’ve been hoarding.
Because whisky is for celebrating… even if it’s just Tuesday.
