The Scotchcast

The Bronze Age is a period characterized by the use of copper and its alloy bronze as the chief hard materials in the manufacture of implements and weapons. While the items we have this time, namely the Ben Nevis 10 year and Aberlour 12 year Double Cask Matured, can hardly be described as containing anything […]

Special edition! Read all about it! The Scotchcast marks it's 50th show! While it is our 50th show, the "Special Editions" are actually the scotches we'll be tasting this time around. They are the Oban Distiller's Edition and Dalwhinnie Distiller's Edition 1992. We are joined for the occasion by two very special friends, and We'll […]

Céad míle fáilte romhat! It's once again March, spring is just around the corner and, of course, it's soon to be St. Patrick's Day. That means it's time for The Scotchcast to take a look at some whiskeys from our friends across Sruth na Maoile. Those whiskeys will be the Michael Collins Single Malt and […]

Join the Scotchcast as we take a leisurely stroll down by the glenside. Along the way we'll be tasting the Glenburgie 15 year and the Glencadam 15 year. Who knows, maybe we'll even run across an old woman picking young nettles and humming a song. Though come to think of it, it might be more […]

Two Speyside scotches, special box, lots of cash, pepper, chocolate and a quarter point score! While that little shout-out to an old commercial jingle from a certain fast-food establishment might date me a little, it is appropriate for this round of The Scotchcast. We'll be tasting two of the biggest "Macs" around, the Macallan Fine […]

While tonight's drams are certainly fit for a Queen, you won't need to request an audience with Her Majesty to try them.

Hang up your coat and hat and relax with The Scotchcast as we enjoy a hint of honey from the Highlands in our tasting of Glengoyne 10 year and Balvenie Founder's Reserve 10 year. We'll listen to some voicemail, then stay tuned at the end of the show for a special charity announcement. Join us […]

While the title of this month's Scotchcast may have you thinking of parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, we actually found things a little more like butter, pipes, old leather, and grass. See what the heck we mean as you join us for a tasting of the Auchentoshan 10 year and the Glenfarclas 10 year. We'll […]

Scotland's wildlife is typical of the north west of Europe, although several of the larger mammals such as the Lynx, Brown Bear, Wolf, Elk and Walrus were hunted to extinction in historic times. The flora of the country is varied incorporating both deciduous and coniferous woodland and moorland and tundra species. from Wikipedia No this […]

With a dram in hand we sit and look out over the flat, grass covered fields. Come to think of it, this could be a great place to relax with a nice short story as well. This time around our drams of choice are the Dalwhinnie 15 year and Tomintoul 16 year. Join us next […]

Dig through the closet for your best embroidered flower covered, vibrant colored outfit. Put some flowers in your hair and join hands or, in this case, scotch glasses around the circle. Ok, don't worry. We're not staging a sit-in but we are staging a tasting of the Glenlivet 12 year and Longmorn 16 year. We're […]
