Fun With Scotch and other fine spirits

Jon, Judy and Marlys talk about a great book on the history of distilling in Washington state, and try out 3 local Washington whiskies

Judy, Jon and Marlys try three new rums and enjoyed all of them, with a 4th rum from a previous episode (Flor de Caña) at the end for comparison.

In this episode, Marlys, Judy and Jon review 3 blended Scotch Whiskies they hadn't tried before and had a good time doing it. Jon discovers why it's important to control laughter while drinking Scotch.

On this episode we sample 3 offerings from the Bushmills distillery in Ireland. Bushmills Red Bush, Bushmills Black Bush, and Bushmills 12 year Single Malt Irish Whiskey. A happy and tasty St. Patrick's day to you all!

Today Marlys, Judy and Jon taste and discuss 3 scotches from the Aberlour distillery in the Speyside region of Scotland. They are Aberlour 12 Year, Aberlour Casg Annamh, and Aberlour A'bunadh Cask Strength.

Whiskey selection: Kaigan Japanese Whiskey, Browne Family Spirits Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Yellow Spot 12 Year Irish Whiskey, and Barrowman's Grand Cru 21 Year Blended Scotch Whisky.

Wherein Jon and Judy invite several friends, absent Marlys, to join us in tasting four whiskies (and a fifth for extra credit) with an abundance of chaos, some expletives, glass clinking, and pretzels, occasionally returning to the subject at hand but always having a good time at the beach in Washington State. It may help if you know a bit about libraries, and it will definitely help if you are drinking while you listen ;)

It's a long one, so buckle up! We hope that you will enjoy it. We certainly had fun recording it.

Jon, Judy, and Marlys drink and discuss Balcones Baby Blue Pot Distilled Corn Whisky, 1792 Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, and Blanton's Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

3 Speysides: an offering from Tamdu Distillery, Tamnavulin Sherry Cask Finished, and Tamnavulin Red Wine Cask Finished. Yum... :)

Tonight we check out 3 Bourbons: Jefferson's Very Small Batch Blend, Chestnut Farms Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, and Widow Jane 10 Years

We interview David Suk from Saint Luna Spirits and later sample Saint Luna Moonshine
