Dram Fine

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

On this Episode, Pam and Chel chat with the incomparable Shelley Sackier, Author of the fantastic book Make it a Double. Shelley tells us all about her journey from whisk(e)y hater to whisk(e)y lover and how she translated that pilgrimage into writing this must read book.

Since she's also the director of Whisky Education at Reservoir Distillery , she leads through a tasting of 3 tasty whiskies.

Also, Chelsey makes some horrible puns and Pam hates her for it.  You don't want to miss it!

We recorded this bonus episode WAY WAY BACK after our in person event when we interviewed  Greg W Swartz, ‘The Water of Life” Producer and Director + Gez McAlpine, representing Bruichladdich, Remy Cointreau National Manager. We had a bunch of questions we never got to ask them at the time, so here are 'The Questions We Never Asked'.

If you've seen the film, this episode has some great BTS chat and stories from the making of that will make you want to watch the movie again... and if you haven't see it yet, you'll want to fix that immediately.

A couple of special appearances from Jenna AKA @Whiskyagogirl, Rab McEachern Bruichladdich Brand Education and Academy Manager, and music from Fraser Shaw (www.frasershawtrust.com).

About the Film:
The Water of Life - A Whisky Film is a feature documentary that focuses on the craftsmen, chemists, and renegades at the heart of the whisky revolution that turned the stagnant scotch whisky industry of the 1980s into the titan it is today.

The time has come to elevate your Half n' Half!

We love whisky, that much is obvious, but here's a confession: Sometimes, on a hot summer's day, we want BEER! Luckily for us, beer and whisky had a lot of similar ingredients and flavour profiles which makes them a perfect pairing duo. On this episode, Chelsey and Pam try 5 different "elevated" beer and whisky pairings to beat the heat.

Thank you to Stephen from Sherbrooke Liquor for their help in our beer selections! We would have been absolutely lost without his help .
