What we’re drinking: Paul - Black Velvet Manhattan 3 oz BV, 1 oz sweet vermouth, 2 dashes of bitters, 1 cherry Nick - Pendleton https://pendletonwhisky.com/ 40% ABV / 80 Proof Nose: Vanilla, honey, butterscotch, and custard join together for a pleasing aroma.

Oak barrel-aged and distilled in Canada - before it’s bottled glacier-fed spring water is added from Mt. Hood (Oregon’s highest peak). So, everyone think back to Tincup - this is basically Canadian Tincup. Other Pendleton’s: Pendleton 1910 - an 80 proof 100% rye whiskey aged 12 years - I NEED TO FIND THIS Pendleton 1910 is another nod back to the Rodeo from which they take their name - the Pendleton Round Up was started in 1910. Pendleton Midnight - this one is 90 proof - the big claim to fame with this one is that a portion of the blend is aged for over six years in American brandy barrels Pendleton Directors’ Reserve - back to 80 proof - this one is aged 20 years The only one in the collection that doesn’t have the glacier water claim to fame is the 1910, or the 100% rye.

What we’re drinking: Monkey Shoulder - check out the drink recipes! Monkey Shoulder (~$33 in Maine) 43% ABV A blended malt scotch whisky Glenfiddich, Balvenie and Kininvie - hence the 3 monkeys Cask type is ex-bourbon Comprised of small batches of Speyside single malts, blended together in a marrying...tub….vat... for 3-6 months What is a Speyside single malt? It is a single malt Scotch whisky, distilled in Strathspey, the area around the River Spey in Moray and Badenoch and Strathspey, in northeastern Scotland. That region will always lend a butchscotch taste to the whisky What is a marrying cask you ask? Basically a cask used to finish off and mature whiskey after its initial blending process To Review: A condition that maltmen would develop because they essentially performed the same, repetitive motion every day of the week for hours on end - basically the person turning the malt could develop an elongated shoulder/arm from the repetitive motion they go through In a company response email dated 2012 it was confirmed that they do add caramel coloring to the whiskey for the purpose of ensuring consistency. Carmel coloring (E105a) is typically used to - as they said - ensure consistency across the bottling. Because they use previously used barrels the scotch doesn’t pull as much color from the wood. Official Tasting Notes: Mellow vanilla - spicy hints Official Nose Notes: Zesty orange, vanilla honey, spiced oak -- Michelle’s “Old Fashioned Manhattan” Recipe After much research Michelle's rule is 1/2 sugar cube doused with 3 dashes of bitters/ 2oz preferred bourbon or rye. Glass rimmed with an orange (not garnished), and 2 luxardo cherries for garnish. You’ll find it’s the perfect in between of a Manhattan and Old Fashioned, especially if you go with rye -- What we're reading: The Complete Whiskey Course Our ultimate goal adventure: The Irish Whiskey Academy Our Instagram handles: The Show @thewhiskeyqueens | Paul @pdashton | Nick @wayfaringandwhiskey Visit us at www.whiskeyqueens.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/whiskeyqueens/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/whiskeyqueens/support
