Whiskey Crusaders

We are the Whiskey Crusaders! We review whiskies from around the world such as Bourbon, Scotch, Rye, Japanese, American, Irish, Canadian, Taiwanese, Indian and many others. We give nosing and tasting notes so that when you are on the whiskey aisle you can make an informed decision. This will help you to know the flavor profiles you enjoy so that you can explore new whiskies and join us on our crusade to share and visit as many whiskies as possible. We will be going on whiskey crusades to distilleries to meet the actual people who make the magic that all of us enjoy so much and to interview people in the industry to share their passion for whiskey with us.

Only a handful of tickets remain for this Friday's Masterclass & Dinner with Dr. Don Livermore, so come beat the Texas heat with an unforgettable evening of exceptional Canadian whisky.

If you enjoy bourbon, rye, or single malt whisky, you're going to love what Dr. Don has in store. Forget everything you think you know about Canadian whisky—these are not the inexpensive blends many people were introduced to years ago. Instead, you'll experience world-class expressions that showcase the incredible craftsmanship, complexity, and character that have made Dr. Don Livermore one of the most respected blenders in the whisky industry.

This is a rare opportunity to taste outstanding whiskies from the historic Hiram Walker Distillery, including some truly special expressions, while learning directly from the man who created many of them including a 42 year.

Bring a friend and join us at the Whiskey Crusaders Whiskey Castle for an evening filled with exceptional whisky, a delicious dinner, great stories, and even better company.

Do you hate taxes as much as we do? We sure do—so we’re slashing prices on Ballykeefe and Coole Swan by 20% to celebrate the end of tax season! The Irish have hated taxes for centuries… They even invented their own style of whiskey just to pay less of them. So if you’re not a whiskey fan but you love gin, vodka, or incredible cream liqueurs, this is the event for you. We’re throwing a very special Ballykeefe & Coole Swan Masterclass Dinner on Tuesday, April 28th, and we’re going all out:

The founders of both Ballykeefe Distillery and Coole Swan in the same room (a rare treat!)



Four distillery-exclusive spirits you can’t get anywhere else — and they’re not whiskey



A full Irish dinner + welcome cocktail



9 expressions total, including two beautiful Irish whiskies that tell the rebellious story of Irish tax defiance



Whether you’re a whiskey lover or you usually stick to gin, vodka, or creamy Irish liqueur, this night has something for everyone. Bring your friends who “don’t do whiskey” — they’re going to leave as converts.


Tickets are just $60 per person and include everything above. Only available at Whiskey Castle — one night only.


 Tuesday, April 28, 2026
 Full Irish dinner |
 9 expressions (4 distillery exclusives)


 Grab your tickets here:

Let’s raise a glass to beating the taxman the Irish way — with great spirits and even better company.



See you on the 28th at the Whiskey Castle
