More Creepy Distillery Tales
Send us Fan Mail It's that time again.... Are you ready for a journey that will chill your bones as much as it warms your palate? Join us on a haunted adventure that combines two of our favourite things: whisky and ghost stories. We start off by sipping a 12-year-old Aultmore and share tales of the spooky side of distilleries, even revealing what kind of ghosts we'd be, should we ever haunt a distillery (planning on it!) From there, we take you to Northern Ireland, diving into the eerie stories surrounding the Bushmills Distillery. Brace yourself for tales of ghostly pipers, tragic love stories, and a spectral search for a lost love. We also whisk you away to Louisville, Kentucky, to explore a distillery with a history as rich as its whiskey. The Old Forester distillery, with its chilling tales of murder, ghost sightings, and a dapperly dressed spectral figure, will surely send a shiver down your spine. OOOOooooOOOOoooOOOO Also, we talk about The Boston Molasses Explosion! Spoiler Alert: not a great way to meet your end!

Rye's to the Occasion: An Ode to Canadian Whisky
Send us Fan Mail What does one think of when they think of Canada? Bagged Milk, Celine Dion, "Oh yeah, no, for sure", The Tragically Hip, Handsome Ryans, Loonies, Hockey, or perhaps Degrassi High? All stunning Canadian treasures (especially the bagged milk). However, since Pam and Chel surround themselves with whisky more often than not, their answer to this overwhelming question would be Canadian Whisky. Listen as they traverse the storied history of "fire water" in Canada and learn what we can expect from the industry in the coming years. They also speak with Author Davin de Kergommeaux (yes, they had to google how to pronounce his name) about his book Canadian Whisky: The Portable Expert. Whisky's sampled in this episode: 1) Strathcona Spirits Pedro's Dreamland Whisky 2) Canadian Club 12 Year 3) Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye Music Smooth in the Kitchen by Alexandra Woodward That Second Kiss by Nocturnal Animals Let's make it easy by Nocturnal Animals Anthem by Leonard Cohen Just Cool Down by Fox Morrow This Episode is sponsored by Sherbrooke Liquor, one of the World's Best Top Bottle Shops.
