We recorded this podcast on International Whisk(e)y Day and discover that there is an important purpose for this day. It is not just another "Hallmark Holiday". We also discuss our thoughts on the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, which recently named its "Best in Show Whiskey": Heaven Hill's Henry McKenna 10 Year, Bottled In Bond, Single Barrel Bourbon.

We also discuss the opening matchups of our own Tournament of Whiskey and whether we were surprised by any of the whiskies. Find out more in the "Show Links" Section below.
