3 Blind Drinks

What happened. 2020 was a blur. We said we'd start a new season and then we didn't.  Chris was supposed to come to this 2021 rebirth of the podcast, but then he got sick? So come listen to Thom and Jack discuss two (or is it three) whiskeys. We'll try and be more consistent.

*Recorded in the fog of 2020* Amy from Mission Wine and Spirits joins the podcast via the Internet.  

It's time to put Chris to the test. I've picked out four (mini) bottles for him and his goal is to discern with what he's learned, thus far. The clue: Two of these are siblings and one is a cousin. The very other is where it all began. Can you figure it out before Chris?  

Matt Cloud re-joins the podcast, this time he's on his own, and there are no sherry casks in sight. (Keep those ears peeled for the Ericka cameo(s).) ***Spoilers*** Pete Rose is Port Askaig 100° Proof Johnny Bench is Ardbeg Uigeadail Ken Griffey Jr is Highland Park Magnus Some photos documenting the recording.
