About The Girl

Who's Girl with Cask Strength?

Hello there! I'm Alyssa — university professor by day and whisky whisperer by night. Recently obtained the WSET Level 2 Award in Spirits with Distinction.

My whisk(e)y journey began in 2018 with a dram of Lagavulin 16. Soon after, Girl with Cask Strength was born — a name that reflects both my love for cask-strength whiskies and my philosophy of life: to live authentically and passionately.

It's in this spirit that I approach my whisky reviews – honest and fluff-free. That way, you can spend less time scrolling and more time savoring your dram. Sláinte!
