EPISODE 276: AUGUST 29, 2010
The Whisky Guild held its annual "Whisky on the Hudson" tasting and dinner
cruise in New York City the other night, with more than 900 people on hand
to taste dozens of whiskies. I'll have some of the highlights on this week's
episode, including a visit to The Balvenie's Warehouse 24 room and chats
with some of the U.S. microdistillers on hand. In the news, a new peated
Glenmorangie, 10 single casks from BenRiach, a new Macallan 1824 Collection
expression, and an update on the "Water of Life" Drive for Charity: Water.

EPISODE 275: AUGUST 22, 2010
Ever have one of those conversations that seems like just a few minutes,
until you look at the clock and realize it's gone on for a long time? That
sums up my chat this week with Robin Blackadder, the "nom du whisky" for
Blackadder bottler Robin Toucek. We discussed everything from how he picks
single casks to whisky festivals, politics, and small animals, and you'll
hear our chat in this week's episode. In the news, Dr. Martin Tangney of
Edinburgh Napier University explains his new technique for turning
distillery waste into usable biofuel, along with details on new whiskies and
auction results for old ones.

EPISODE 274: AUGUST 15, 2010
There's no doubting that Kentucky makes great bourbons, but a single malt?
That hasn't happened since 1919...until now. Dr. Pearse Lyons is the CEO of
Alltech, which makes yeasts and animal feed supplements in Kentucky. He
comes from generations of Irish coopers, and since Alltech already owns the
Kentucky Brewing Company in Lexington, he decided to honor his heritage with
a single malt. We'll also get the latest on Shackleton's whisky from Nigel
Watson of the Antarctic Heritage Trust and learn more about Charity: Water
from CEO Scott Harrison.

EPISODE 273: AUGUST 8, 2010
"Hammer Head" sounds like the name for a Caribbean rum, not a whisky. In
this case, it's not a shark reference, but the name of a long-forgotten
Czech single malt whisky just being released. Tony Roberts of Stock Spirits
Group shepherded Hammer Head to market, and explains the origin of the
whisky and its unusual name. Plenty of new whiskies to talk about as well,
along with the start of the WhiskyCast "Water of Life" Drive.
