Caskheads

HI all it's a quick one today, we are talking about GlenWyvis distillery up in the Highlands of Scotland and their first release. We learn a bit about the distillery and try their 2018 members' release. The reason for the shorter episode length is due to the younger age of the distillery leaving less to talk about, however we will be uploading a second 10 minute episode next week with the White Peak Distillery's own first release called the Wire works whisky so catch that one when it drops.

For those who enjoy our caffeine addled minds' creations I should also mention we have a second podcast which is fictional (or is it?) named GNS where an infinitely shadowy mega corporation with seemingly limitless amounts of money close to hand moves into a small town and slowly takes over.

So we're back I apologies we are a week (and a day) behind schedule but in my defence I (Jordan) was ill and editing is best done when you can concentrate without falling asleep. In this episode we finally get around to talking about the only distillery Luke seems to think exists and put to rest one of the greatest misinformation campaigns of our generation. There is no E in Tamdhu.

The whisky we review this week is Tamdhu 12.

Hello and happy new year!

we're back, it's 2026, nah i'm just messing with you, but the holiday season is over which means we're back on a schedule and more importantly our first episode of the new year is ready to drop.

In this episode we talk about colour and its use in the whisk(e)y industry more specifically that old pesky E150, how it affects the flavour and experience of your whisk(e)y (if at all) and our own opinion on the subject (which is basically Jordan's whilst Luke rides the tangent express). 

The whisky we review this week is Beinn Dubh from the Speyside distillery given its rather apt use of colouring and the history predating this release in particular.

Waterford distillery? The Cathedral of Barley? The Caskwhisperer's arch nemesis?? All this and more on Caskheads!

We're learning things and blind tasting two whiskies to try and guess which one is which. A new game we'll call... Blind whisk(e)y tasting? Cards against whisk(e)y? Who wants to be a million-whisk(e)y?

And those whiskies we're tasting are: Waterfords Lakefield edition 1.1 and Hookhead edition 1.1.

What does whisky and the devil have in common? More than you'd think. That's right it's halloween and we're here to tell a tale of a time long gone where a little town received a visit from the devil -- you know just like any regular old Tuesday.

It's spooky - it's whisky and it sure is Halloween.

So join us for this seasonal episode of Caskheads where we talk about Bowmore and review Bowmore 18 year old.

Late? No we're on time in every dimension except this one. But it's finally here, Taiwanese whisky! Like we've been saying we'd do ever since episode 1, so when better to do it than season two episode four. It just makes sense.

We're talking about and reviewing (spoilers) Kavalan, not just the distillery but their whiskies!! (TWIST). A little bit of the history and a whole lot of Cask-whisperer lore. 

The whisky we try is: Kavalan classic, it's Kava... Too good to be true!

(Full disclosure, it took us months to do but seconds to record and edit and that's show business people. It's rocky, just like the ice in some people's whisky glasses.)

Wolves on fire? Sea wolves? Sea wolves on fire??? All this and more on Caskheads, a podcast that tries to be about whisky but is usually about tangents.

So in a shocking twist of events we're talking about Scottish whisky and a distillery known as Wolfburn, that's right it's real. We also give a honourable mention to Conrad Gesner and his book: The history of four legged beasts and serpents. (If anyone has a copy please get in touch to update us on what a gift this is).

Tasting: Wolfburn Aurora.

We've got Dracula, we've got whisk(e)y, we've got so many things in this episode of Caskheads. Back at it again in season two talking about Filey Bay from The Spirit of Yorkshire distillery. It's not nearly as Halloween themed as it sounds. 

We try Filey Bay peated cask first release.

Fade in: A sunrise over two people stood at the top of a precipice.

Join us in the first episode of season two, we mention all the great sequels in film history and goof about as we discuss Octomore and the Bruichladdich distillery while trying Octomore 11.3. We have facts, we have fun and we talk about whisk(e)y. And what's that? OH NO! A villain has appeared on the horizon, is this the end of the Caskwhisperer? Or is it just the beginning?? Tune in next time when we probably don't continue this story.
