In this episode, the group is in for another special treat as Mr. Darren Hosie hand carries over a special bottling of Royal Salute Eternal Reserve, a limited edition release that is yet to hit the shelves of our local duty free.

In this episode, the gang steps up to face a double vertical blind taste test challenge set by Mr. Darren Hosie, Regional Manager of Chivas Brothers as he refutes a common perception that blends are inferior to single malts.

In this episode, the crew sits down with Mr. Hamish Torrie, Director of Corporate Social Responsibility for Glenmorangie and Ardbeg.

Glenmorangie Whisky is one of crowd favorite labels of the Whisky Society of Manila members and we've been planning this podcast for a while. It's the best selling single malt whisky in Scotland for a reason and there's no better judge than the Scots themselves.

In order to do a proper review we've decided to taste not one but all FOUR bottles from "The Glenmorangie Collection" gift pack. That's right a treat for us is also a treat for our listeners. So you want to know the difference between the Lasanta and the Quinta Ruban? Tune it to find out. We'll also reveal which bottle was voted THE BEST unanimously (almost).

We decided to step it up a notch and splurge on a bottle of Dalmore 15, which is one of the distillery labels that was recently acquired by the Emperador Brandy group. Did this bottle live up to the hype and its high price point? Listen in on this episode to find out.

In the housewarming edition of the Whisky Podcast, we've decided to open up a bottle of the Jura Origin to honor the recent purchase of the Isle of Jura distillery by the Emperador group. Tune in to hear what the group thinks.

Yamazaki Reserve Bottling Note

Released in Spring 2014, this is one of two Distiller's Reserve single malt whiskies from Suntory in Japan. This single malt from the Yamazaki distillery is jam-packed with superb red berry notes, gained from the whisky being matured in Bordeaux wine casks and Sherry casks. It also features malt matured in Mizunara casks, adding subtle fragrant oak notes.

We decided to do a random recording in the middle of our Whisky 101 event at "The Deli" @ Shaw.

On top of that, we were lucky to have special guest performer Matt Epps do a mini set for the crowd.

In this episode: The crew decides to record at "The Deli" on Shaw, instead of the studio. First time guests include Chris and Jodie as they help us compare the differences between Johnnie Gold and Johnnie Black. Highlights of the show include pairing our whisky with blue cheese and hot sauce.

Joining us on our second episode is Lloyd and he seems to have alot to say about everything. He entertains as well as educates, just like a well balanced bottle of whiskey.
