This week on WhiskyCast, we're focusing on Canadian Whisky as Canada celebrates its 150th anniversary this coming Saturday (July 1). Corby's Dr. Don Livermore spent this past week traveling across the entire country from Vancouver to St. John's leading whisky tastings and food pairings in a partnership with Edible Canada (we didn't ask him what whisky goes best with seal, though). He'll join us to talk about the trip and the new J.P. Wiser's One Fifty Commemorative Series whisky marking Canada's anniversary. We'll also look at politics in the U.S., since the Trump Administration's proposed 2018 budget slashes funding in several key areas that affect the whisky industry. Mark Gorman of the Distilled Spirits Council joins us to explain the industry's goal of keeping those programs funded. In the news, we have the first confirmation from WhistlePig Rye's owners that they're listening to offers from potential buyers for the Vermont distillery in what master distiller Dave Pickerell describes as a "feeding frenzy" environment in craft distilling. Chivas Brothers faces a likely strike by its workers in Scotland after union members rejected the company's contract offer, and what whisky would you pour into the U.S. Open trophy? We found out which one Brooks Koepka poured into it after his victory...and the answer probably won't surprise you.

July 1 is Canada Day, and this year it’s even more of a holiday than usual. Canada celebrates its 150th anniversary this Saturday, and Hiram Walker Distillery master blender Dr. Don Livermore…
