Celebrating Canadian Whisky Week

The second annual Canadian Whisky Week runs from January 11th through the 18th, with events all over Canada. We’ll talk with co-founders Reece Sims and Andrea Fujarczuk about all things Canadian Whisky on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Uncle Nearest founder Fawn Weaver says the company’s receivership is bad for business, and has asked a federal court judge to return control of Uncle Nearest back to its directors.
