The menu for tonight’s World Whiskies Dinner at #nbspiritsfestival sponsored by Suntory Global Spirits! #whiskycastsponsor

The whiskies I presented during my Closed Distilleries class at #nbspiritsfestival, including a 1965 St. Magdalene from Gordon and MacPhail.

Time to start the final day of the @nbspiritsfestival with the Collectors Class. Nine different whiskies from the collections of festival attendees, and something you won’t see at many whisky festivals. I’m presenting a Compass Box Hedonism Quindecimus!

They were pouring the Yamazaki 18 YO tonight during the VIP hour at the #nbspiritsfestival!

Has anyone ever heard of a Pumpkin Spice-flavored whisky? I have to think it might be an abomination...

Tonight’s #hockeydram is the classic Oban 14-year-old!

This week on WhiskyCast, we're doing a deep dive into Tullibardine Whisky's single malts with head blender Stacy Longworth and marketing director Ros Frame. We'll also have the week's whisky news and take a look at the history of a ghost distillery. whiskycast.com/a-taste-of-t...

Tonight’s #SundayNightSip is the Glendalough Double Barrel Irish whiskey from a combination of ex-Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks. #WhiskyCastSponsor

Game 7 of the #worldseries deserves 2 vintage drams - both from long-closed distilleries: a 1973 Glen Mhor and a 1976 Banff from Gordon & MacPhail!

Tonight’s #worldseries dram is the new Jamaica Edition from The Glenlivet. Partially finished in Jamaican rum casks, and the rum influence is clear on the palate.

Tonight’s #hockeydram is a classic…the Midleton Very Rare 2009 edition!

Tonight’s #WorldSeries dram is the Keeper’s Heart Cask Strength blend of Irish Whiskies and Bourbon. Good balance of floral character and caramel sweetness.

Just finished a tasting with the team from Tullibardine Distillery…went through their core range, and will have our conversation on this weekend’s WhiskyCast!

My #frozenfrenzy #hockeydram tonight is an unredacted Whiskey Del Bac Ode to Islay. Whiskey Del Bac got its wrists slapped by the Scotch Whisky Association for daring to put “Islay” on a bottle…even as an inspiration.

Sipping a 12-year-old Royal Lochnagar tonight. Got this bottle when I visited the distillery many years ago for the Diageo Malt Whisky Course.

Happy #Caturday!

The mailman just dropped off my copy of the new Malt Whisky Yearbook. It’s an essential reference guide in my work, and I recommend it to any whisky lover!

My first dram of the weekend is the Glenmorangie A Tale of Spices single malt. It lives up to its name with a potpourri of spices, including ginger, nutmeg, and chili powder. Very nice!

Just tasted the sequel to Jack Daniel’s “hazmat” Coy Hill release…the Single Barrel Special Release Tanyard Hill Rye whiskey at almost 73% ABV. Dry and astringent on the palate with good baking spices, dark chocolate, and mint.

The Whisky Fairy just dropped off Glenmorangie’s new A Tale of Spices single malt, along with some cinnamon and coriander to garnish cocktails made with it.

Tonight’s #hockeydram is the Westland 10th Anniversary 10-year-old Garryana. I couldn’t show the bottle the other day when I was teasing it for this week’s podcast.

This week on WhiskyCast, we're celebrating Westland Distillery's 10th Anniversary Garryana single malt. It's the first 10-year-old whiskey from Westland. I'm joined by master distiller Shane Armstrong & managing director Jason Moore on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. whiskycast.com/a-double-dig...

Tonight’s #SaturdayNightSip is the new 12-year-old cask strength Old Overholt rye! #hockeydram

Not one, but three #hockeydrams tonight. Tasting through the new Hardin’s Creek releases from Beam, exploring the different terroirs of warehouses at the Beam campus in Clermont, Kentucky.

Sampling a whisky that must remain under wraps for a few more days…

The Whisky Fairy just delivered the debut set of Heaven Hill’s Grain to Glass Specialty Barrel Series…bourbon, rye, and wheated bourbon all matured for 6 years in Chinkapin Oak.

The Flyers play their home opener tonight, and my #hockeydram of choice is the new Brother’s Bond Regenerative Grain Bourbon!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Canadian friends today!

Tonight’s #hockeydram is the new Torabhaig Sound of Sleat from the Isle of Skye!

The Whisky Fairy delivers books, too. Just delivered review copies of Robin Robinson’s “The History of Whisky” and Dave Broom’s “The Japanese Way of Whisky.” Will be doing some light reading this weekend!

Hockey’s back and so is the #hockeydram! Kicking the season off with the new Brûlée Royale from Compass Box…

Just posted my tasting notes for the oldest single malt whisky on record, Gordon & MacPhail's 85 Years Old from Glenlivet Distillery! Amazingly complex after 85 years in the cask! whiskycast.com/ratings/gord...
