This week's Whisky Photo of the Week shows what happens at a distillery during the night, when the shadows can take an ordinary row of barrels and emphasize the texture in both the wood of the barrels and the stone walls of the still house at Scotland's @OldPulteneyMalt Distillery.

This week on WhiskyCast, we'll talk with two brothers trying to write a new chapter in the history of one of #Scotland's legendary places. Simon and Phil Thompson opened @dornochdistillery four years ago after managing their family's Dornoch Castle Hotel and its legendary whisky bar, and that experience has given them a unique - and not always positive - view of the whisky world. We'll also have the week's whisky news, tasting notes, and a tribute to one of the Bourbon world's legendary distillers. Listen with your favorite #podcast app or at WhiskyCast.com.

Since we're talking about history on this week's WhiskyCast #podcast, it's important to note that the enslaved men who worked at George Washington's original distillery had to haul all of their water in wooden buckets similar to these in use at the restored distillery at Mount Vernon shown in our Whisky Photo of the Week.

Since many people are starting to return to the office, we know you may not have as much time to catch the #HappyHourLive webcasts on Fridays. We're trying something different with last Friday's viewer Q&A with @Dewars Master Blender Stephanie Macleod by releasing an audio version as a bonus podcast episode! If you like the idea, please let us know...since we're discussing whether to do this each week or not. You can listen with your favorite #podcast app or at WhiskyCast.com.

American History textbooks leave out a lot of stuff, including just about everything related to whiskey except for Prohibition! We'll talk with the author of a new book that puts whiskey back into its proper place in U.S. history on this week's #podcast! We'll also have the week's news, including a change in leadership coming at the Scotch Whisky Association, and on Behind the Label, we'll explain why the story behind WhistlePig's latest whiskey has a lot in common with a Margarita.
