The Speyside

Still catching up while I recover from the #concussionfromhell, but this week's WhiskyCast just dropped! We have the latest on today's big changes at @johnniewalker, a chat with the founders of @LostLanternWhiskey, and a royal "oops" story from @TheGlenGrantscotch's Dennis Malcolm! Listen with your favorite #podcast app or at WhiskyCast.com.

Tasted my first whisky in three weeks today…wasn’t about to pass up a chance to taste Dennis Malcolm’s 60th Anniversary @theglengrantscotch!

When is a “first-fill” Bourbon barrel not quite a “first-fill” – and how might that affect the whisky that goes into it next? That’s our Behind the Label story on this week’s #podcast!

Buffalo, Barrels, & Bourbon: The History of Buffalo Trace (Episode 903: October 14, 2021)

Took a few extra days, but we have a new WhiskyCast #podcast in time for the weekend! F. Paul Pacult joins us with the story behind his new history of @buffalotrace. We'll also have the latest whisky news and much more! Listen with your favorite podcast app or download it at WhiskyCast.com.

I drink whisky because I want to enjoy life…I drink coffee so that you might live as well. 😏

Why do you say that, @whiskybry? 😏

Is this an @angelsenvy sighting on last night’s @wweonfox #smackdown with @baroncorbinwwe?

Slowly getting better, but not to the point where I can sit at the computer with lights and a camera…no webcast again this week, but the #podcast version of our last webcast with @RanaldWatson and Findlay Ross of @Springbank1828 is now available!

Happy Hour Live with Springbank’s Findlay Ross and Ranald Watson (Episode 902: October 8, 2021)

It took three days to produce, but we're back with a new episode of WhiskyCast! @RoyalSalute Master Blender @whiskyblenderdude joins us on this episode with his latest challenge…creating a #whisky to match the decanter (It's usually the other way around)!

Designing a Bespoke Whisky…for a Bespoke Design (Episode 901: October 4, 2021)

Good news…my cat scan for the concussion came back negative!

This week's WhiskyCast will be delayed until tomorrow. Not allowed to use screens for the rest of the day, and that makes it hard to produce the #podcast. Thanks for your patience.

Gotta give this spider credit…only put that workbench there late yesterday and left it out overnight. Nice web for an overnight job!

If you missed last night's #HappyHourLive webcast with @springbank1828's Ranald Watson and Findlay Ross, you missed a lot – including confirmation of plans for another distillery in #Campbeltown! The on-demand replay is available now at the WhiskyCast YouTube channel, and the #podcast version will be available later this week!

@whiskyblenderdude created a special blend of @royalsalute 21-year-old to go with this special decanter design by Richard Quinn to kick off the brand's new Couture Collection. Sandy tells us about the process of creating that new blend on the next WhiskyCast #podcast!

The Whisky Fairy delivered a sample of the new @redbreastirishwhiskey PX Edition today, along with the @redbreastwhiskeyus Lustau Edition that make up the new Iberian Series! Tasting notes on the next episode! #whiskycastsponsor

The podcast version of our latest #HappyHourLive webcast with Ashley and Colby Frey of Nevada's @freyranchdistillery, actor @BethBehrs, and Gareth Howells of @DewarsAberfeldy is now available wherever you get your #podcasts, and it's our 900th episode of WhiskyCast, too!
