WhiskyCast Episodes
WhiskyCast is where it all begins. Now in our 18th year, each weekly podcast brings you the latest in whisky news, along with the latest events, tasting notes, comments from other listeners, and the weekly “In-Depth” segment features interviews with the people who help make whisky the “water of life”.
Episode 452: November 16, 2013
Matthew Crow, Ph.D. of Diageo is one of Scotch Whisky’s up-and-coming blenders. Working under Jim Beveridge, Ph.D., he helped create Johnnie Walker Double Black and worked with Jim last year on the £120,000 John Walker & Sons Diamond Jubilee whisky to mark Queen Elizabeth’s 60th anniversary on the throne. In the past year, he’s helped create three new Talisker releases, and joins us on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth to discuss the subtle differences in blending Single Malts versus Blended Scotch whiskies. In the news, Heaven Hill opens the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience on Louisville’s Main Street, Glenfiddich releases a special whisky to support wounded warriors, and we’ll take a look at the 2014 Malt Whisky Yearbook with editor Ingvar Ronde.
