Episode 189: February 28, 2009

This is Whisky Live London weekend, and one of the highlights is the annual Icons of Whisky Awards. Whisky Magazine editor Rob Allanson gives us the overall winners, as well as the winners for the world category (Scotland and U.S. regional winners were announced recently). John Glaser of Compass Box is bottling a special whisky at the festival this weekend…in hopes of making people feel more “optimistic” about the state of the world these days. In the news, the politicians run amok, and a new Irish whiskey website hits the Internet!
