Hosting a Whisky Extravaganza: Insights from the Street Spirit Festival and Beyond

On todays episode, Pam and Chel are doing an experiment. Yes, thats right - for science. The question? Does weed enhance the whisky drinking experience or does it dampen the flavours --- they are determined to find out. 

Come join the Dram Fine gals as they dabble with some government sanctioned weed while trying  the Moonbroch - Spaceman Series - Isle Of Jura 2009.

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!

Ever wondered how Ethiopian Arabica beans would taste in a whisky? Well, here's your chance to find out (through us talking about it...we don't have the technology for you to taste through the screen, YET).

Pam and Chel try out this offering from The Macallan Harmony Edition, a whisky series all about the  "distinctive and innovative packaging that seeks to bring new life to organic by-products which have ended their usual course. ​It fuses innovative techniques with materials from the natural world at the end of their life to see them reborn with a renewed purpose."

So ch-ch-check it out!

Ah, Highland Park, the picturesque distillery from Orkney Islands, land of the Vikings and some seriously unpredictable weather. It's like the whisky gods want to keep you on your toes, just like the flavours in every bottle of Highland Park. 

We sampled a wee dram of the  HP Cask Strength Release No. 3, and it definitely took us for a ride. So pour a dram for yourself and check out some of our thoughts! (if we get a little silly along the way, blame it on the cask strength)

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
