The place? Japan. The year? Varies. The plot? Thickens like a fine custard. In case you haven't figured it out, we're talking about Japanese whisky today, including the development of the Suntory and Nikka companies along with a fine fellow called Masataka Taketsuru and his story, how is he involved in whisky? We'll tell you in this episode as we fly through historic events and review Nikka Coffey Grain.

Something bottled but I'm not blue. It's our tenth episode! Only one of us could make it for this one and luckily it was the one with the knowledge, so we have a special guest, our dad! Here to talk about whisk(e)y and what he knows already. So sit back, relax and hear all about the Ardbeg distillery and their new release called 'Wee Beastie' along with a few tangents of once again teaching someone new about whisk(e)y.

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 let's dive in to the ocean of alcohol bans and a time long passed, about 100 years or so some might say (though only if they subscribe to the concept of time) and even more things, there's even a review of whisk(e)y! A whole ride of content happening right here, so jump in, enjoy the conversation and hear what we think about Blantons, it's Blantabulous!

There's also a small mic issue so sorry for that old thing.

As the famous saying goes, you need corn for corn whisky, rye for rye whisky and bourbon just needs the ingredients it has. That's right you guessed it we're in America now, or at least our whisky talk is, we've hopped a pond, we've landed somewhere new and we're unveiling the wonderful world of whisky somewhere new.

It's Ireland again, that right the sequel, part two, an epic continuation - here we discuss Tullamore D.E.W. but more importantly add some rich (and fake) lore to the world of whisk(e)y, a hidden hero among the barrels, a tale of cask's long gone, a stable boy with an epic mullet? Who knows what's really covered in this episode of Caskheads.... We also mention blends and not just the frozen smoothie kind.

Ireland? That's right we're there now, we hopped on the metaphorical plane with our little backpacks and a dream and we talk about whiskies, but not just any old whiskies, that's right, in a twist of events we've landed in Ireland and we're talking about their interesting world of whiskies and the history behind them. There's some names, some mentions of bottles but most of all, there's a little... Ireland time. (This description was brought to you by Luke who will now be in charge of all descriptions.)

In our third episode we wrap up our introduction to Scottish whiskies in general by talking about peated barley and how that process affects the final flavours of whiskies. I am not saying we are finished with Scotch all together but there are other styles of whiskies to look at and we're moving on to Irish next time (yes i know you've heard that before but trust me, I have a plan). Finally we review Ardbeg Uigeadail a cask strength peated whisky from the Ardbeg distillery on Islay.
