On the Road at the Victoria Whisky Festival

This week, we’re in Victoria, British Columbia for the annual Victoria Whisky Festival, one of the world’s great whisky events. The Canadian Whisky Awards were presented during the festival, and we’ll have the results, including a surprise winner of the Canadian Whisky of the Year. We’ll also talk with Wayne Gretzky Distillery head distiller Tim Wilson and Forty Creek master blender Bill Ashburn on WhiskyCast In-Depth, and Dr. Don Livermore gives us an explanation of Fick’s Law and how it affects whisky maturation in our Behind the Label segment.
