Expression 1: Inchmurrin 18yr
Expression 2: Balvenie 14yr Peat Week
Duck Washington returns and gives us his origin story–well, his name’s origin story anyway. Dave’s nose makes several vocal appearances as well and we’re all sorry about that. Pours this go around are the Balvenie Peated 17yr and Glenkinchie 2010 20yr.
Even though this show is posting a bit late, there’s still time to see Caucasian-Aggressive Pandas and Other Mulatto Tales at the Bryant Lake Bowl this weekend. If you are a Twin Cities local, you really should check it out. This is the final weekend.
Porter’s back and shares a bit about his podcast, Burn and Brew, while we drink the Glendronach 15yr Revival and the Balvenie 14yr Caribbean Cask.
This month, we are happy to be joined by the owner and founder of Stand-Up Records, Dan Schlissel, who talks about how the label came about while we drink the Balvenie 12yr Double Wood and Glendronach 12yr.
Fearless Comedy Productions co-founder Bob Alberti and Big Fun Radio Funtime voice actress Dawn Krosnowski join us for a very entertaining hour. We bust Bob’s scotch cherry, learn a bit about the second-ever published RPG (after D&D), and are given some spontaneous intro and bumper themes. The scotches this episode were the Glenkinchie 12 year and The Balvenie 21 year Portwood.
Bob was a somewhat recent guest on the Apropos of Nothing podcast and talked about Tékumel there as well. They are more adept at the show notes thing and actually have pictures: check it out!
It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for–the first of two crossover episodes with Apropos of Nothing! We had a lot of fun recording this, as I’m sure you’ll gather. Not only do we discuss the Dalmore Gran Reserva and The Balvenie 15yr Single Barrel, but also fruitcake, coopering, the dangers of single barrel expressions, and the AON podcast origin story.
We also launch our first official segment and decide to make a tradition of the closing toast.
Enjoy!
