Xtreme Tasting League: Scotch

Theatrical renaissance-man Tim Uren joins us and discusses the many hats he’s worn in his career, his desire to be a monsterologist, and speaks daggers at mezcal. We also discuss the need to invent the fuck-off apple and put out a request for a graphic artist to make us a banner and new audio file avatar, payment in an appearance on the show and scotch (if local).

This months expressions: Clynelish 14yr and Tomatin 18yr

Ghoulish Delights is the theater troupe Tim works with.

Chad Dutton returns for our annual Irish single malts show! This year it’s the Michael Collins 10yr and the Knappogue Castle 14yr Twin Wood. Between pours, we ask Chad to talk about his RenFest experiences with the Dregs and he jumps in on the running gag about apples.

Chad Dutton of The Dregs joins us for our tasting of the Mortlach 1980 and The Macallan 18yr.

Holy crap, it’s Episode 50!

St. Manna the Destroyer returns and tells us a couple of stories: one with a bunny, one with garlic farts. Then she talks a bit about burlesque because burlesque. We also sidebar briefly to discuss how awesome all of our guests have been while we taste the Old Pulteney 17yr and the Longrow Peated.

Update to the update in the podcast:

It’s Season 3! Fearless Comedy Productions member and frequent Apropos of Nothing Fast 5 contributor St. Manna the Destroyer joins us to taste the Edradour Caladonia 12yr and Smokehead. We poke some good fun at AON and it’s hosts and talk about a couple of Scotch hotspots in Chicago.

JOsh Nite returns to discuss Kingdom of Loathing, child murder, and we remember to mention in-show the BBC Radio 4 Good Omens (still free to listen for a very limited time). The scotches we taste this show are the Glenfiddich Distillers Edition and the Glenfarclas 17yr.

Josh Nite of the Horror Show Hotdog podcast joins us, talks about writing Fearless Comedy Productions’ first full-length show, The Secret of Gravethwait Manor, and tastes the Deanston 12yr and Isle of Jura 16yr.

We forgot to mention it during the show, but Josh has a YouTube channel where he sings:

Also, BBC Radio 4 did an audio-dramatization of “Good Omens” which is worth a listen. It’s only live on the site for free until mid-January, so listen soon:

A Christmas bonus for everyone, here’s the show we recorded at OmegaCon 2014. Have a happy New Year!

Eric and Jason return, Eric talks about his Fearless Comedy Productions show, Double Blind Improv, and we drink some Auchentoshan American Oak and Glenmorangie Finealta.

Sorry this was posted late.

Eric and Jason of the High Five Guys podcast join us for cheap scotch I got at Trader Joe’s, their Highland Single Malt and the Islay Storm.
