Drink with Me Episode 14: Macallan12 Year Old Triple Cask Matured

Whether you’re looking for advice on how to raise a Helper Monkey (or maybe Helper Monky, since we’re talking Scottish) who will respect your guard dog, or a Dirty Limerick by Murdina…

Or perhaps you actually want to find out more legit information about The Macallan’s excellent 12 Year Old Triple Cask Matured whisky, you’re in luck.

And of course, we’ve got the candy pairing that American Whisky Jesus called the best one yet!

Enjoy!

Drink with Me Episode 10: Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye

It's time to drink with me (American Whisky Jesus) and my friend and whisky sidekick Murdina Flummery! This time (if you're legal), go get yourself a bottle of Crown Royal's Northern Harvest Rye and drink along with us as we spout Whisky Wisdom mixed with quite a lot of amusing nonsense. This whisky was named World Whisky of the Year by Jim Murray, curator of the Whisky Bible a couple years ago, but it's also a very inexpensive bottle, only about $25 here in the United States. We get into that issue, and many others, including Murdina's obsession with her Canadian heritage, her even stronger obsession with Mounties, what it means to be #JoanCrawfording, and taking Bag Selfies.

And of course, we've got a candy pairing!

Drink with Me Episode 5: Kaiyo Mizunara Oak

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!

 

Drink with Me Episode 2: Teeling Single Grain

It's time for another episode of Drink with Me! Well, with me and my whisky side, Murdina Flummery.

Meanwhile, in the Temple Bar...

Meanwhile, in the Temple Bar...

This time, we drink Teeling Single Grain Irish Whiskey. Drink with Me is best listened to with your own fresh bottle of whatever we're drinking, or anyway, that's the idea. If you listen to podcasts in your car or if you're 12, do NOT do it that way. Just listen.

In this episode, we cover such burning topics as what's the whole issue with "whisky" versus "whiskey" and whether or not Teeling whiskey in particular has value as part of your dental hygeine routine.

Also, not wanting to do spoilers, but this is a great whiskey. If you're a whisky newb (or is it n00b?), this makes an awesome first step, but if you're a might whisky warrior (you know you picture yourself that way), you're going to like it too. 

So, with no further delay, subscribe or download from iTunes or just listen here.
