I joked on Twitter the other day about wanting my whisky collection sealed for 90 years after my death…but the responses led to this question: What do you want your family to do with your whiskies when you're gone? Share your ideas, and we'll read some on the next WhiskyCast #podcast.

If you missed tonight's #HappyHourLive webcast with Colby & Ashley Frey of @FreyRanchDistillery in Nevada, actor/whisky nut @BethBehrs, and Gareth Howells of @DewarsAberfeldy, the on-demand replay is available at the WhiskyCast YouTube channel!

Join us today at 5pm NY time for this week's #HappyHourLive webcast! Spent a couple of days in Nevada this week with @freyranchdistillery 's Colby & Ashley Frey, and they'll join me on the webcast! We'll also talk with actor/whisky nut @BethBehrs about her work with @DewarsAberfeldy on protecting bee habitat! You can catch the fun on the WhiskyCast YouTube channel, our Facebook page, Twitter, and Twitch.

This is the “Ranch Hand” cocktail they serve in the tasting room at @freyranchdistillery in Fallon, Nevada…very refreshing! 😏

Just added a new bar to the Great Whisky Bars page at the WhiskyCast web site. Death & Taxes in Reno not only has a great whisky selection, but they make a mean Boulevardier, too!

This week on WhiskyCast, we'll catch up with two of the next-generation leaders working their way up through the Kentucky Bourbon industry. Freddie Noe is the son of Jim Beam master distiller Fred Noe and grandson of the late, great Booker Noe. Bruce Russell is the son of Wild Turkey's Eddie Russell and grandson of the legendary Jimmy Russell, who celebrated his 67th anniversary at Wild Turkey this last Friday.

In the news, Heaven Hill workers have gone on strike, and it's having an impact on this week's Kentucky Bourbon Festival. We'll have the details, and in our Behind the Label segment, we'll honor one of the whiskey industry's unsung heroes who passed away last week.

Listen at the WhiskyCast web site or wherever you get your #podcasts!

Figured out the source of the technical problems during last night’s webcast. The computer needs a wifi upgrade! 😏

Thanks to everyone who stuck with us for your patience, and to all@of our guests who joined us at the American Whiskey Convention in Philly!

Our condolences go out to the family of longtime Kentucky Bourbon maker Steve Thompson, who died Monday in an accident at his family's lake house in Michigan at the age of 77. Steve founded Kentucky Artisan Distillery after retiring from Brown-Forman, and was a mentor to craft distillers around the industry. We'll have a tribute to him on tonight's webcast from the American Whiskey Convention and on this week's episode of WhiskyCast.

We're taking the show on the road for the first time in 2021 to this year's American Whiskey Convention in Philadelphia. The entire festival is devoted exclusively to American whiskies, with distillers from small to large on hand at the Independence Seaport Museum. We'll have live guests, and you never know who might turn up to join us! We'll start at 5:00pm New York time on the WhiskyCast YouTube channel, our Facebook page, Twitter, and Twitch!

Getting ready for tonight's virtual "Cabinet of Curiosities" whisky tasting with the Ottawa Whisky Guild!

Just dropped the #podcast version of last Friday's #HappyHourLive #webcast with Christopher Coates of Whisky Magazine, Limavady Irish Whiskey's Darryl McNally, and Brent Elliott of Four Roses Bourbon!

Copper stills add character to whisky, but in the right light, they add character to a photograph as well with subtle reflections of the stillhouse, such as this still in the microdistillery at Ireland's Midleton Distillery in our Whisky Photo of the Week.

We named September’s Whisky Club of the Month on today’s #podcast. Congratulations to @sanfranciscowhiskyclub, and we’ll be sending the club two dozen WhiskyCast @theglencairnglass glasses to use at their club tastings!

It may be a holiday in the USA, but there's a new WhiskyCast podcast out today! Stephen Rankin of @GordonandMacPhail and I talk about (and *taste*) the 80-year-old Generations Glenlivet single malt – the oldest whisky ever bottled! We'll also look at a unique method Lora Hemy and her colleagues at Dublin's Roe & Co. came up with to "finish" a whiskey with wood that's too porous to make into casks.
