Whisky is not just a Scottish or American product anymore.  There is amazing whisky to found all over the world in different types of finishes and expressions.  From Japan, to India, to a very special Welsh whisky, we are exploring some of the lesser known areas that are producing amazing whisky.  The world is truly becoming a slate for experimenting in new ways to take whisky production to new heights and we are all benefiting from it.  To top it off, we are trying a whisky that world-renowned critic Jim Murray once called, one of the best whiskies in the world!

On part two of our Origin Series we are crossing the ocean to the good Ol' USA to explore how whiskey got started in this country and how it expanded into the culture we know today.  From the local-grain whiskies of the mid-Atlantic, to the Ohio River Valley and on to a place eventually known as Kentucky, American whiskey and bourbon are engrained in our rich history and it is engrained in this all new episode!  

To kick off the show, join us on a little trip through history as we explore the early years of scotch, bourbon and the expanse of whisky from all over the world in a 3-part series we are calling: The Origin Series.  In this first episode, journey around Scotland as we look at the events that lead to the creation of scotch whiskey, how the 5 regions of Scotland each play their own role in the unique characters of scotch and why Aque Vitae is found throughout the history books.  If you think its all serious business, just wait until you hear Bobby try to add new words to the English dictionary.
