Ep. 95: Angus MacRaild of Decadent Drinks,...

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2023/06/22

Angus MacRaild and I get together to talk about his independent bottling venture - Decadent Drinks - and the blog that he started nearly 10 years ago, WhiskySponge. Decadent Drinks was virtually unknown to me a few months ago. Since then, I've gotten a number of bottles. Why? Because they're fantastic, each a true showcase of their home distillery in the way an independent bottling should be. And, when a stupendous bottle comes along - like the 29 year old Rhosdhu he had - I had to have it. Then

I got to meet Ronan Currie at a GlenAllachie tasting event and had to have him on the podcast. The GlenAllachie has a rich history as a brand despite it being one of the newer distilleries in Scotland. Just a few years ago, though, it was making a lot of whisky - around 4M LPA -

Heard of Eric Church? Maybe the Jack Daniel's Eric Church Single Barrel special release? Maybe you're just a fan of his music (though if you're listening to this podcast I kind of doubt you missed the Jack Daniel's release). It was easy to brand that initial partnership as another

For most of that history, the family grew grain and animals for commodity markets - the high-protein, low-starch grains desired for feed, not the kind that's good for whiskey making. Sitting on a unique, oasis-like area by Lake Tahoe, the Frey Ranch land is

Riachi has been making wine and spirits - mainly arak - in Lebanon for 184 years (since 1839), until they decided to enter the whisky space in 2011. Roy Riachi, the family's current generation, found a love for whiskies around that time and put his family's unusual still to use making Lebanese whisky. A decade

2023/05/22

Bonus episode #5! Welcome back to Devin Ershow and Chase Langdon of American Mash & Grain and Borrowed Page American Whiskey. I loved Borrowed Page Volume 1 (2022). It blended four distilleries and four distinct styles into a one-of-a-kind American whiskey that allowed you to taste all four components without losing sight of the whole. It was a tough act to follow, but Borrowed Page Volume 2 is at least as good, maybe even better. At minimum, it was good enough to make me eat some crow about

Ep. 90: Cedar Ridge Distillery with Murphy Quint

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2023/05/17

We're finally back to whiskey, I promise! This is a classic episode - a distillery making single malt in the corn capital of the US. Don't worry, they make a damn good bourbon, too, but my first taste of Cedar Ridge was a single barrel of their single malt picked by Lost Lantern. I'm joined by head distiller and Scotch-lover Murphy Quint, who has led the distillery's operations except for a stint at Stranahan's. We chatted about adding a distillery onto a winery, making their whiskey stand out, and

2023/05/10

After a few weeks abroad, we're back in the US, in Kentucky! But we're not back to whiskey yet. This week, it's the Brandy Ring Podcast! Copper & Kings American Brandy Distillery sits in the heart of Louisville's Butchertown neighborhood. In a relatively small space, they manage to use shipping containers, a wide-open events space/patio, and a beautiful wall of windows that can open in good weather right in front of their copper pot stills. Brandy just might be the oldest spirit in America, if not

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2023/05/03

Finland, Norway, and now Iceland - we're working our way back to this side of the pond, but not before visiting one of the most unique distilleries (and products) I've ever come across. Eimverk Distillery is also known unofficially as Floki Distillery, named for the eponymous single malts that showcase both Icelandic barley and an Icelandic smoking tradition that can sound like a gimmick until you learn more. I'm here to tell you: yes, I tried the Floki Sheep Dung Smoked Single Malt, and no, it's

Ep. 87: Vikre Distillery with Emily Vikre

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2023/04/26

A week after visiting Finland, we're staying in the Nordic countries - kind of. Emily Vikre's family comes from Norway. There were always aquavit and hearty meals to be had. But when it came time to do something with that heritage - something that had nothing to do with her PhD in food policy and behavioral theory - she came home to Duluth to found Vikre Distillery. Yes, they're making whiskey, but this episode is whiskey-lite. Instead, I wanted to take the time to delve into the Scandinavian

2023/04/19

It's a bit late - had a great event on Japanese whisky last night! ----------- How much do you know about Finland? Yep, probably about the same I did. Not much. Turns out, there's a whole lot to learn. I started, oddly enough, with a well-timed episode of Timesuck learning about the sniper known as the White Death from the Winter War of WW2. Besides a fascinating story, it taught me that Finland is both Nordic and Scandinavian, yet its culture - everything from its mythology/pantheon to its

Ep. 85: Roy Peter Clark, Tell It Like It Is

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2023/04/12

Roy Peter Clark - RPC, for short - is America's writing coach. He's written dozens of works, hundreds if not thousands of columns for multiple media outlets, and is considered the all-around go-to for concise writing. So why is he on my podcast? Simple: I write reviews. I read reviews. I critique others' writing and evaluate it as I'm reading. I know I'm far from infallible, so if someone can help me better understand public writing then I'm all for it. There's more to it than that, of course,

Ep. 84: Compass Box Whisky with John Glaser

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2023/04/05

Ever since I started my whisky journey, I've been fascinated by the art of the blend. Malt, grain, bourbon, rye, American, Scotch, Irish - when you get out of the box, there's so much you can do. Nobody embodies that in the Scotch world better than Compass Box. Founded in 2000 by American ex-pat John Glaser, the company initially struggled to get on a shelf. Twenty-three years later, Compass Box is, I would argue, putting out the same high-quality blends it always has - but now, their releases are

Our first ever Oceania episode! Join me for a 19-hour flight to New Zealand, one of the most beautiful places in the world. Towards the top of the North Island lies Pōkeno Distillery, a relative newcomer helmed by industry veteran Matt Johns. The North Island of New Zealand is sub-tropical, with high humidity year-round, an unusual climate for whisky aging. And that whisky is spectacular. I'm a bit behind on getting reviews onto this, so stay tuned! But don't let that hold you back from a truly

Ep. 82: Waterford Distillery with Mark Newton

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2023/03/22

I do a lot of research for each episode of the podcast - I don't want to ask anything that's been asked over and over. Often, that's listening to podcasts, reading interviews, anything that might spark an insightful question or a different angle. But what do you do when a distillery has their own podcast? What do you do when there's so much information out there and yet so much to ask? You start with one interview and go from there. We cover so many topics in this interview that it's hard to

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2023/03/15

Talnua Distillery in Colorado is quietly putting out some excellent single pot still whiskey in the Irish style. They follow the Irish Technical Files as far as possible, with only the "made in Ireland using Irish water" regulation unfulfilled. Founders Patrick and Meagan Miller discovered the Irish single pot still style on their honeymoon when, by chance, they were in Ireland when the first Redbreast Cask Strength in decades came to the market. Just a few years later, thousands of miles away,

2023/03/08

This week, we're heading back to Texas! Down to San Antonio, where the Maverick family has roots stretching back to a decade before the Alamo. Dr. Ken Maverick, the owner and founder, is the eighth-generation Maverick in San Antonio. His ancestor might have been the last man to leave the Alamo alive, sent out to get help. Maverick Distilling is out to prove itself as a whiskey company that happens to be based in Texas, not a Texas Whiskey company. Not a short order for a family with such a vast and

Surprise! For the first time, The Whiskey Ring Podcast is proud to bring you the inaugural interview for a brand! Triple Dog Irish Whiskey is officially launching TODAY after a soft launch in five states. And you're hearing about it first right here. This is a brand new Irish Whiskey, hailing from Great Northern Distillery just off the Cooley Mountains and in the wee county of the Irish Republic.

This week two Whiskey Ring Podcast veterans join me for an all-out chat about tasting panels, spirits competitions, and the stupid and not-so-stupid things producers will put in a competition. Here's the winning formula: use water you like, decide on number vs medal beforehand, and trust your palate more than the entrant - you might just know more than they do about their own product.

Ep. 77: Liberty Pole Whiskey with Founder Jim Hough

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2023/02/15

Liberty Pole Spirits - also known as Mingo Creek Distillery - is producing traditional-style bourbons and ryes with the spirit of the Whiskey Rebellion in its veins. Centered around the idea of a liberty pole, the only thing associated with the Rebellion that wasn't already copyrighted, according to founder Jim Hough. Liberty Poles are symbols of dissent, freedom, and independence, dating back at least to the assassination of Julius Caesar. They were used heavily during revolutions and rebellions
