Making great whisky is serious business. Whisky takes time. You can create it and leave it in barrel “while your kids grow up and head off to college” kind of time. For example, Paradigm Spirits -The Heritage Collection - Whisky of the Year in Canada spent 19 years in barrels. Then along came friends and partners Michelle deBus and Irma Joeveer who were just beginning their whisky journey. They purchased the filled barrels to start Paradigm. Then blended in some Oloroso Sherry and found a stunning balance between the corn whisky and sherry. Davin de Kergommeaux Canada's Whisky authority and founder of the Canadian Whisky Awards describes The Heritage as having “sublime complexity and elegance with fresh fruity top notes” This is a really nice story of people who dreamt a dream of making whisky and how it all led to being named Whiskey of the Year in Canada. Besting 200 other whiskeys. Our guests are Irma Joeveer and Michelle Debus

Magnus Distillery's Historic Resurgence and Modern BrillianceIntroduction:Step into the past with us as we unveil the remarkable history of the Joseph A. Magnus Distillery. From its roots in Cincinnati to a contemporary revival, this episode delves into a story of resilience, innovation, and the unwavering commitment to preserving a legacy.Segment 1: Early Triumphs in CincinnatiExplore the early years of Joseph A. Magnus, a resilient entrepreneur who, by the age of 26, built a liquor empire in Cincinnati. With a keen marketing sense, Magnus introduced the Murray Hill Club whiskey brand, emphasizing unparalleled flavor, bouquet, mellowness, and purity.Segment 2: Prohibition Era and LegacyIn 1918, anticipating Prohibition, Joseph A. Magnus ceased whiskey sales. Retiring to Oden, Michigan, he left a lasting impact, donating land to Petoskey that now houses Magnus Park. The legacy endured through challenging times.Segment 3: Rediscovering a Lost LegacyFast forward to 2014, a great-grandson stumbles upon an unopened bottle of Murray Hill Club whiskey. Fueled by a passion to recreate this lost treasure, the family collaborates with industry experts to extract and analyze the whiskey. The journey culminates in the recreation of a 12-year-old bourbon, employing a triple cask finishing process with Oloroso Sherry, Pedro Ximénez, and Cognac casks.Segment 4: The Resurgence - Washington DC EraIn 2015, Jos. A. Magnus Co. is reborn in Washington DC, not merely resurrecting but enhancing the legacy through modern techniques while respecting tradition. The commitment to quality and innovation led to the 2020 move to Holland, MI, reconnecting with historical roots.Segment 5: Coppercraft ConnectionContrary to common assumptions, Joseph A. Magnus was not sold. The Windcrest Group, the investment company behind Magnus, acquired Coppercraft Distillery in 2016. Leveraging the facility for Magnus, they stay true to their commitment to legacy and craftsmanship.Segment 6: Carrying the TorchToday, Joseph A. Magnus Distillery continues to honor its Gilded Age roots. While Joseph Magnus himself may not have distilled whiskey, the commitment to excellence, creativity, and storytelling endures. The recreated Murray Hill Club whiskey stands as a testament to the intersection of history and innovation.Conclusion:This captivating journey through time showcases the enduring spirit of craftsmanship and tradition at the Joseph A. Magnus Distillery. From the marketing brilliance of Joseph Magnus in the Gilded Age to the dedication of his descendants in recreating and enhancing the legacy, every sip is a taste of history and innovation.Outro:Thank you for joining us on this historical exploration of the Joseph A.

On today's episode we have a glass of Compass box Glassglow. This is the start of our Scotch series with special guest Ryan from the club! We talk about blending, Marrying Casks, and heavy peated scotches. All that and more on today's episode of Whiskey Chasers! Our Website is www.whiskeychaserspod.com, check us out! Thanks, and enjoy the show!Be sure to show some love for the company that brought you today's bottle!https://www.compassboxwhisky.com/whiskies/glasgow-blend Compass box is not one of a kind when it comes to the world of Scotch. It is a blending company, which is how several distilleries got their start in scotland.They consider themselves ‘Whiskymakers' a word they invented A Whiskymaker is someone who feels compelled to make things better - to ask questions, to challenge, to experiment. A Whiskymaker is different from a distiller, and more than a blender.If they were a bourbon company, I would be bashing them for this! But, again, majority of blended scotch companies started this way Back in 2000, John Glaser was working for a large UK distiller when he realized that there was so much that hadn't yet been explored in the world of Scotch whisky.So, he started Compass Box, an inventive company based on the long-lost model of the Scotch whisky blending house, but with a forward-looking approach and an unrelenting desire to create deliciousness.Originally working from his kitchen, Compass Box has grown over the years and now has two dedicated Blending Rooms in London. They have their own stocks of maturing whiskies in Scotland and a team of over 15 hugely enthusiastic whisky-lovers. The bottle: In his 1930s book ‘Whisky', Aeneas MacDonald teaches us that Glaswegians historically preferred fuller bodied and more flavor-packed whiskies than people in other parts of the world. So what better name for a whisky such as this?Glaswegians are also famed for their sense of humor, which is why the city's Wellington statue – traditionally dressed down with a traffic cone – is featured on the front label.Glasgow Blend boasts a high single malt content. Inclusion of malt whisky matured in Oloroso Sherry-seasoned butts, and an Islay single malt of a powerfully peaty nature, has made this a blended Scotch whisky like no other.Full, rich and smoky on the palate, with notes of sticky toffee pudding, Sherry wine character and impressions of a coal fire, Glasgow Blend shines in combination with rich cheeses and cured meats.Even further down the rabbit hole: Married blends are very common. They take the blended whiskey, then put it back in the barrels they came from, age some more and then are blended together for bottlingThis is a single marry cask It was put back in it's original barrel aged and then bottled Lowland Grain Whiskey BarrelSupport the showWebsite:www.whiskeychaserspod.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/whiskeychaserspodcastInsta:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeychaserspodcast/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@whiskeychaserspodcastThanks For Listening!

On this episode of Barrel Room Chronicles we speak with Sanjeev Banga about Rampur Indian Single Malt Whisky. Then Chef Louise Leonard creates a special dessert with it! Guest Bio Sanjeev Banga has been spearheading global reach for Radico Khaitan brands since 2008 as President – International Business. Radico brands are available in over 85 countries. He has been instrumental in the growth and premiumization journey of the company through the creation of luxury brands, such as Rampur Indian Single Malt and Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin. He is an international business veteran with over 35 years of experience in FMCG companies including Godfrey Philips (an affiliate of Philp Morris), Nestle, Seagram, Pernod Ricard etc. Sanjeev has a Bachelor's Degree in Commerce and an MBA. • Rampur Double Cask is made from 100% Indian barley, malted and distilled in traditional copper pot stills by the oldest distillery in India. This opulently tropical single malt is less forward with it's oak influence than the name might lead one to suspect. The aging in used Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks does impart the vanilla and toasted cacao typical of this treatment, but the fruit driven character remains at the fore, reminding one of an Indian Summer, bursting with life. o ABV is 45% o SRP is $79.99 o Bottle shot • Rampur Asava is an outlier in the world of cask finished single malts. For this expression, Rampur has chosen a unique combination of used Bourbon barrels and Indian Cabernet Sauvignon barrels in which to age the spirit. The result is a nose heavy with golden apricot, plums and spice followed by a palate beginning with a honeyed sweetness flowing into a pleasant dryness imparted by the Indian Cabernet Sauvignon. o ABV is 45% o SRP is $89.99 o Bottle shot --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/barrel-room-chronicles/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barrel-room-chronicles/support
Part 6.2 of IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT (AND I WANT WINE) Will Scott find this Oloroso Sherry “shiny & chrome” or will he whine “MEDIOCRE!” with every sip like he did with Fino Sherry? What's an Almacenista and why does it take so long for Jamie to explain it to Scott? Which is more responsible for the booming popularity of Sherry in the ‘90s: the long-running NBC sitcom FRASIER or a band of NYC bartenders? Can Jamie come up with any tasting notes for guzzoline? What recent wine-and-snack brand crossover do our hosts think is a sign of the apocalypse? Don't forget your bullets from the bullet farm as you press play on our final episode about the End of the World as We Know It (at least for now).

Unlike traditional methods of simply barrel aging and bottling a whiskey, our process entails additional steps to create layered, complex flavors not commonly found in your everyday bourbon. By smashing used barrels and combining the staves from Ex-Bourbon, Sherry, and French oak barrels in a specific ratio, we have built an award-winning bourbon that defies expectations and delivers delicious flavor and harmonious balance.

Some say that Scotch whisky isn't necessarily a warm, weather drink. And some say that any day that ends in a ‘y' is a good day for a wee dram. As luck would have it, this afternoon one of the Baron's reps came by to discuss future projects and left him with a parting gift – a generous pour of Glenfiddch 21 Year Old. Since it's not my nature to be selfish when enjoying my beverages, I flipped through my mental Roladex and quick texted a friend who might be nearby and able to meet with me to enjoy and review with me. Joe Satava, who is an excellent pianist (& a hobby mixologist – from whom I was referred to the hot chocolate recipe) was able to squeeze in a few minutes to sit outside with me for this, uh….task. This exceptional spirit is aged for a minimum of 21 years in ex-Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks before being finished for four months in specially selected rum casks. This treatment results in some beautiful tropical fruit and citrus notes – and as you'll hear lends itself quite nicely to being enjoyed in the summer weather. Sláinte!
Today on The Speakeasy, Ryan Maybee joins us in the studio to pour us some Kansas City Whiskey, a name that J. Rieger & Co. pitched to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, and got the thumbs up. Rieger's whiskey blends corn, malt, and straight whiskeys with a bit of 15-year-old Oloroso Sherry from the Williams & Humbert bodega in Jerez, Spain.
