March 24th marks our 2 year anniversary of launching the Whisky and Things Podcast… and in that time we’ve learnt one thing for certain… we love Bourbon! So this week we’re sipping on a 10 year old example from the Buffalo Trace Distillery! Eagle Rare Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. We also have a little “Bourbon 101”, a little refresh on what makes this liquid so special.

As St Patrick's day is this week and we’re a whiskey show, it’s only correct that we sip on an Irish Whiskey… So that’s what we’re going to do! One year on from trying their blended and Single Pot Still Pinot Noir finish, we’re cracking open another Samuel Gelston’s in the form of the classically Irish, Single Pot Still Whiskey. We were big fans last time we featured their Whiskey on the show, but will we be as enthusiastic now we’re not face to face with the owner of the brand?

In episode 103 we’re sticking with the independent bottlers as we try a smokey little number from Gordon and MacPhail’s Discovery Range. Yes we’re going to be tasting their 13 Year Old Single Malt Scotch with spirit originating from the Caol Ila Distillery on Islay, but matured in G&M’s very own casks. This is our third episode using our extremely straight forward scoring system, so how will this peaty expression hold up? Tune in to find out.

This week we revisiting one of our favourite independent bottlers, not Douglas Laing (Lang)…. but Douglas Laing (Lain)… We’ll get that right this time. Yes we’re sampling a 3rd example from their Remarkable Regional Malts range in the form of The Epicurean, Lowland Blended Malt Scotch Whisky. We first tried Douglas Laing whiskies back in episode 55, and we were very impressed, but will this example match up to the Rock Island or the fantastic Scallywag?

After our adventure with Bunnahabhain in episode 100, this week we stay on Islay to sample a slightly smokier offering from the island… in the shape of the Bowmore 12 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky. And as it’s episode 101, we thought we’d take on Whisky Scoring 101, and do a bit of research into how to score whiskies… and then completely ignore it it seems… so strap in!

100! We’ve made it to our 100th episode, and what a monster show we have in store for you all. This week, with help from a live zoom audience of our wonderful Patrons we try the Bunnahabhain 12 year old Single Malt Scotch Whisky… a stunning unpeated example from the Islay Distillery. And as it’s our 100th show… we see what our patrons, and indeed ourselves have learnt about the show over the century of episodes with a quiz that we’ve cleverly called … “Quizky”… How we made it this far we do not know.

We have something quite unusual for our 99th episode of Whisgi and Things… Yes you read that correctly… This week we’re trying a very small batch release from the Anglesey Môn Distillery in North Wales… and they’ve named it a Whisgi. Made using water from their own spring and aged in oak casks, that was pretty much all we knew going into this show, so come with us on a journey of discovery as we crack open this Welsh wonder. And Dave asks the question, should we start scoring the whiskies we review?

This week we’re opening something pretty special, Lagavulin, The Distillers Edition 2002 distillation finished in Pedro Ximenez Casks. Yes we’ve opened a bottle we’d been saving for about a year and a half…to mark the end of our time recording at Abbey Road. We also have an exciting development in the world of the scented candle, as well as news on our fast approaching 100th show recording. Exciting times!

This week we blast off with an indie bottling from The Whisky Barrel, the interestingly titled “Houston, we’ve had a problem”, Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled at Highland Park. A whisky released to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 13 mission in 1970. Bottled at the cask strength of 61.3% ABV, this single cask offering could be used as rocket fuel but how does it taste? Well to help us test it we’re joined by Dan Cox, Guitarist of the band ‘Alite’ who’s currently here with us laying down guitars for Dave’s album in Abbey Road.

Continuing with our new year theme of discovering drams from less conventional Whisky producing countries, this week we try a German Whisk(e)y… Ja… Der Kymsee Single Malt Quarter Cask finish is on the pod. The Kymsee Distillery website is all in German… but we think we got the gist of it, and even if we didn’t it’s all about the taste, so have a listen to hear what we thought of this dram from Bavaria!
