The Weekly Whisky

Alberta Rye Dark Batch is Canadian whisky... or is it? This podcast tackles such deep existential questions as: what is whisky? How big is Lake Erie? And if I can call you Betty, Betty when you call me, can you call me Al?

Jim Beam: number 1 bourbon in the world.  But is it number one in our hearts? Listen, and discover.

Somebody drank half the bottle first, but we're still tackling Rittenhouse Rye on this week's podcast. Secrets are revealed; cocktails are made; feelings are hurt.

Made in Roxbury, Massachusetts, Bully Boy makes two horse-themed whiskies in two weeks. Also featured: ghosts, fruit salad, and the sum of all evolution and culture.

On this week's podcast, we drink White Horse, a blended scotch with a "heart" of Lagavulin. We do the maths to get our money's worth, make Passover jokes way too late, and uncover the secret history of World War I.

Four Roses Single Barrel Kentucky straight bourbon is reviewed; Greg's mom schools everyone as a very special guest.

The bottle, the wax, the... mark. Maker's Mark is iconic. We experience some technical difficulties.  . , adsfd

Heaven Hill Old Style Bourbon is Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. We drink it. Greg makes a binding promise to do everyone's laundry forever. There is no secret cocktail at the end of the podcast.

Aberfeldy, one of the "last malts of Scotland," is supposed to be "the golden dram." We pop the can to answer all the burning questions - are we really running out of malt? Is this dram splendiferously golden? What's the conversion rate for pogs these days?

Glen Breton Rare sounds like a scotch when you hear the name, but it's got a giant maple leaf on it. That's right, it's Canadian whisky: "North America's first single malt." We test it extensively and share results.

Compass Box's Great King Street blends are meant to bring glory to affordable blended scotch; can they succeed? We test the Glasgow blend.

This week, Amador Double Barrel: Kentucky bourbon finished in California wine barrels. We drink it & read a powerpoint presentation.

It's Saint Patrick's day - time for Irish whiskey in a crate! We drink Knappogue Castle 14, talk crap about saints & castles, and Greg brings a surprise in this accidentally extra-long episode.

Gunpowder Rye is a Maryland-style rye made in Maine. How is Maryland style different from other ryes? Is the podcast sponsored by paint? We answer these questions... and more. Also a cocktail.

On this week's podcast, we drink Dad's Hat Pennsylvania rye whiskey, discuss fedoras, and smell long-deceased Greek philosophers.

Twin Valley is a Maryland microdistillery redefining the term microdistillery - and they may also be redefining corn whisky. We discuss the concept of Schrödinger's still.

On this week's podcast, a generous benefactor has sent us Highland Park's Svein, a liter-sized duty-free single malt from the northernmost distillery in Scotland.

This week's whisky is 100% wheat, 100% from Westchester, New York. Your excellent Weekly Whisky host Evan is from there, too!

New Hampshire isn't a state you normally associate with bourbon. Flag Hill is out to change that. Warning: this podcast has some "singing."

It's the Weekly Whisky's birthday! We got ourselves some Yellow Spot, which is probably the fanciest Irish whiskey we've ever had. Can it live up the the hype?

A guest joins the gang to drink Lagavulin 16, an Islay single malt just a hill over Laphroig. It's all fun and games until the buckets.

We sample not one but two whiskies from the Lake George Distilling Company on this week's podcast: Indian Kettles Smoked corn whisky and Bull Head Bourbon. Will we survive?

We drink The Glenlivet, the number one selling single malt scotch in the universe, and we tell you all about it.

Not to be confused with one of "the Olds," Old Williamsburg No 20 is 101 proof & branded to look like anything but what it is: bourbon from Minnesota. But that doesn't mean it's bad... or does it? Plus we make a cocktail!

Justerini & Brooks, AKA J&B, comes to town on a very special X-mas episode of the Weekly Whisky podcast. Cocktails, caroling, and curses abound!
