Xtreme Tasting League: Scotch

Author Kelly McCullough joins us to taste Highland Park 15yr and Bruichladdich Rockside. Sadly, we are without Dave again.

Apologies for the lateness on posting and light editing, but CONvergence was early this year.

Q returns for two more pours.

Sorry for the lack of editing, but my schedule is extremely busy this week.

We had a special treat this month–our guest is a native Glaswegian! Perrin’s friend Brian, aka Q, joins us to taste expressions we weren’t sure how to pronounce from Tomatin (Cù Bòcan) and Ardbeg (Uigeadail).

Robb Hollyday of the Late 2 The Party and Best 3some Ever podcasts is let out of the basement to taste the Ledaig 10yr and Balmenach Deerstalker 10yr with myself, Dave, and stunt Perrin Peter Buckholtz.

Robb Hollyday of the Late to the Party podcast joins us to taste Trader Joe’s Speyside 13yr and McClelland’s Lowland for this month’s “scotch on the cheap” episode. Perrin couldn’t make it, so we have guest host Peter Buckholtz pinch hitting for him.

The Stitelers return and we sample Ardbeg Perpetuum and Laphroaig 15yr Limited Edition.

Author, beekeeper, and bird-watcher Sharon “Birdchick” Stiteler and her writer/director/entertainer husband Bill join us for our tasting of the Benromach 10yr and Ainsley Brae Oak Cask.

In case you see this right away, Bill will be hosting Powerpoint Karaoke, an improv comedy show, tonight at the Fantasy Flight Gaming Center in Roseville and again at Fearless Comedy Production’s Die Laughing 3, which is coming up April 8-10. Bill and Sharon will also perform in a few events–check the schedule on the website for details. I (Cetius) will be performing & volunteering here and there throughout the weekend and also auctioned off for a date Friday evening (probably). You can also bid on a guest spot on this show during our Silent Auction, so do please come out to see us.

Jonathan Ford returns for our fourth annual Irish single malts show! This year’s pours come from Hyde 10yr and Slieve Foy 8yr.

Local musician Jonathan Ford joins us this show to taste Glengoyne 17yr and The Dalmore 1263 King Alexander III. Sadly, we are again without Perrin, but we still find plenty to talk about.

Tyler and Skot of True Stone Coffee Roasters return to taste the Tomatin Cuatro Oloroso and the Glen Grant 16yr, but we start tasting a new coffee they are selling. Good times were had by all.

Reminder:
