Episode 591: May 28, 2016
This weekend usually marks the beginning of summer, and many people will be heading for the beach – either for real or in their dreams. The entrepreneurs behind the new Beach Whiskey have those people in mind…people who want a dram at the beach, but think a heavy, spicy Bourbon or Single Malt might be too overpowering on a hot day. We’ll talk about building a new whiskey brand with Smoke Wallin, Andrew McGinnis, country music star Jake Owen, and television’s Billy Bush on WhiskyCast In-Depth.
In the news, we’ll have the latest on the WhistlePig Rye standoff in the news, along with details on new whiskies from Glen Grant and The Glenlivet, and more on the US debuts of new single malts from India. This week’s tasting notes include three cask-strength whoppers…including the $300 Booker’s Rye!
