EPISODE 271: JULY 25, 2010
I
met up with Richard Paterson of Whyte & Mackay at Boston's Federal Wine &
Spirits just as the news came from New Zealand that scientists will thaw out
one of the cases of whisky found at Sir Ernest Shackleton's camp in
Antarctica. Richard shares his hopes for the whisky inside that case, along
with news on new bottlings from The Dalmore and Isle of Jura, and his unique
tale of the history of Scotch whisky. We'll also touch base with Federal's
Joe Howell on the business of selling whisky, and taste two Dalmores...one
old and one new.

EPISODE 270: JULY 18, 2010
Laphroaig's stillhouse is a popular part of tours at the distillery, and the
stillman you're most likely to meet is Allan Hyslop. Allan's been a fixture at
Laphroaig for 30 years, and celebrated his anniversary during Feis Ile this
year. He'll share some of his stories with us in this episode. In the news,
the defending champion in the Australian Malt Whisky Tasting Championship
has been dethroned, Heaven Hill expands its line of Evan Williams
bourbon-based liqueurs, and an amazing find at the bottom of the sea between
Sweden and Finland.

EPISODE 269: JULY 11, 2010
Tommy Smith worked at Strathisla Distillery in Speyside for 27 years before
taking "early retirement." He's put in another eight years since then
guiding visitors around the distillery and telling tales of the days when
coal fired the stills, men ran the stills instead of computers, and
"dramming" was part of the job. He'll share some of his stories with us in
this episode. In the news, new releases from Ardbeg, Six Isles, Four Roses,
charity events, and competitions, along with your e-mails and ways to keep
cool in the summer's heat .

EPISODE 268: JULY 4, 2010
George Washington's estate at Mount Vernon is a unique part of American
history, and for the first time since Washington's distillery burned down in
1814, whiskey distilled at Mount Vernon went on sale this week. Just 471
bottles of rye whiskey using the original Washington recipe sold out within
two hours, and this episode includes some of the festivities as well as
tasting notes for the whiskey.
