@glengrantofficial's Dennis Malcolm answers your whisky questions on this week's episode of WhiskyCast as we get closer to Episode #1000! Listen with your favorite #podcast app or with the new WhiskyCast Community app available in the Apple and Google app stores.

This week on WhiskyCast, we're going back 40 years in time to 1983, when 14 distilleries closed their doors (many for good) because of the #whiskyloch. Only 3 have reopened, with the fourth expected later this year when Port Ellen reopens. Listen with your favorite #podcast app or with the new WhiskyCast Community app!

@jackdaniels_us unveiled a new 12-year-old Tennessee Whiskey today, along with Batch #2 of the Jack Daniel's 10 year old. Will have my tasting notes for them on this week's WhiskyCast! (Photo courtesy of Jack Daniel's.)

Timeline cleanse… 😏

Dewar’s French Cask Smooth is the fifth edition in the Dewar’s Cask Finishing Series, double-aged for 8 years then finished in Calvados Casks to blend the best of Scottish distilling and aging with the finest French finishing techniques. The nose is sweet honey and citrus in perfect balance, while tasting rewards you with unmistakable notes of baked apple, citrus, and a hint of cinnamon spice. It’s superb on its own, in a hot toddy, or in something more adventurous like an Apple Cinnamon Highball with lemon juice, cinnamon syrup, unfiltered apple juice, and club soda. #WhiskyCastSponsor #ad #dewars #scotch

The first thing you notice about the new Dewar’s 12 Year Old is the lush, creamy mouthfeel that lingers on the palate with an incredible balance of light smokiness and faint floral notes. Overall, it’s a stunning surprise. The nose is complex with touches of lemon zest, floral, peaches, red apples, and butterscotch to complement the barest whiff of smoke, while the finish is long and creamy. You owe it to yourself to try. #WhiskyCastSponsor #ad

17 years ago today, the very first episode of WhiskyCast hit the internet. We're celebrating with an updated version of the logo we've been using for years! Thanks to all of you for listening and our sponsors...without your support, WhiskyCast wouldn't be the world's longest-running whisky podcast series.

Found the best pint of Guinness in Belfast at the Duke of York (along with a few good drams)…

No filters or fake rainbows needed for this image. Thanks to James and Moira O’Doherty of @silkiewhiskey for taking me up to Sliabh Liag yesterday. @tourismireland

Was in the mood for something different tonight, so I pulled a Shelter Point Smoke Point off the shelf…
