One of American Whisky Jesus’s favorite distilleries, Aberlour produces new batches all the time of A’bundah. The word (probably) means “the original” in Scottish Gaelic, and that’s because…well, no spoilers here, but in this episode, we tell the amazing Origin Story of this whisky. It includes some of the most knuckle-headed behavior you can possibly imagine, but there’s a happy ending…
Also Murdina shares her usual candy pairing.
The time has come! If you haven't already, go on down to your local purveyor of fine spirits and pick up a bottle of Kaiyo Mizunara Oak Whisky. In this episode, we're drinking the cask strength version, but I'm actually recommending that YOU pick up this one.
This is an interesting one, with stories and quirks abounding including stories about fancy trees, journeys around the world, the A-team, and Murdina cursing a blue streak when she spills her drink. But we had fun drinking it and talking about it, and I think you will too.
Oh, and our first official Candy and Whisky pairing comes with this episode too. Are you ready?
Stop by a 7/11 and pick up a Payday bar to go with this whisky. By the end of the episode, we both would have figuratively killed an intern for one...poor Geoffrey.
Enjoy!
We drink a little whisky, we talk, we joke, we drink a little more whisky. We get distracted and talk about something else. We drink a little more whisky. You want in.
We might accidentally help you learn about whisky, but I promise, it’s just so you can enjoy it more. There won’t be an exam, and I won’t talk about tasting notes. If I do, you can slug me.
So if you’re interested (and legal where you are), drink along with me. It’s a World Wide Whisky Party!
