Whisky tasting isn't just for the so-called "experts". With practice, almost anyone can learn to nose and taste the various aromas and flavors that are present in whiskies, and WhiskyCast Virtual Tastings is here to prove it! 

Each month, we'll assemble a tasting panel of WhiskyCast listeners via Skype to nose, taste, and discuss several whiskies. Each panel will have longtime tasters as well as relative newcomers to whisky, and you'll be able to listen and take notes as they evaluate each dram. What's more, these won't be the rare, expensive whiskies that you'll likely never be able to taste yourself, but "accessible" whiskies that are available almost anywhere. That way, you can pour a dram as you listen to the panel and compare notes for yourself!

There may not be a "White Christmas" in many parts of the world this month, but we'll have one on this episode of WhiskyCast Virtual Tastings. Our panel of Simon Seaton, Kevin Andresen, and Jeff Stuebben tasted three "white" whiskies: Buffalo Trace's Wheated Mash White Dog, Culpeper Distillery's Original Moonshine, and Canada's White Owl whisky.  LISTEN

This month's panel of Rob Mark, Jill-Ann Stolley Vick, Christopher Winters, and Lex Tomaszewski spent some time pondering a variety of whiskies: the Ardmore Traditional single malt, The Famous Grouse blended Scotch, and Blanton's Bourbon, and you may be surprised with the results.  LISTEN
