In this episode, Kendall and rachel talk about: * rachel's need to finish things and coping mechanisms around that * The recent spate of cold weather/storms and a tale of Kendall's friend and the whisky night * (This podcast may be sponsored by Friday Deployment Spirits, i guess) * An unsurprising objection regarding terminology * How Kendall is obviously a Markov Chain bot, and how have i never noticed this before * The fact that AI-directed research is nothing new * Public access to AI-type tools and how it has expanded the hype cycle * Environmental concerns around resources required * Robots and why they should just exist to do stuff humans don't want to do * Implications of the mismatch in public expectations vs the reality of what AI is actually capable of * Losing the ability of finding the needles of useful information in the haystack of real and generated content * How the hype is definitely hype but it should still be in your pitch deck * The word rachel was looking for: Captcha * Usefulness as a writing tool, but not as an author * Kendall's tantalizing taste of socialized medicine * rachel recommends: Shelter Point distillery's Smoke Point whiskey (Vancouver Island, BC) * Kendall recommends: barrel-finished/aged gins * rachel also recommends: The Future by Naomi Alderman * Kendall also recommends: Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings, Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale.

“Friendship is like Whisky – the older the better” Yes, my friends, it's our annual trek to Victoria's inner harbour for the 18th annual Victoria Whisky Festival and the Canadian Whisky Awards. It was the founder of the awards Davin de Kergomeaux who whispered in my ear wondering why I wasn't attending or tasting or writing about his Whisky Awards. On second thought I think the voice in my ear was me saying “How could you possibly miss this?” just after I had missed the events about 6-7 years ago. I knew almost nothing about Whisky but my thinking was the same as wine – 17 years ago – every interview is going to be a master class. Pay attention and you could learn all about wine and pass it on to the listeners. I'm pleased to welcome to Tasting Room Radio – Davin de Kergommeaux – founder of the Canadian Whisky Awards. The Canadian Whisky Awards, held annually with the Victoria Whisky Festival, is the first and only competition dedicated solely to Canadian Whisky. The Awards have become the first stop for whisky producers, distributors, retailers and fans looking for the very best Canadian whiskies. Davin is the world's leading authority on Canadian Whisky. He also has three books available on Canadian Whisky with a fourth coming in March! Davin assembled 10 judges and sent them nearly 200 competing whiskies to blind taste. Davin announces the winner in his interview. We talk to the winners next week. www.canadianwhiskyawards.com www.canadianwhisky.org [caption id="attachment_28306" align="alignnone" width="800"] Graeme Macaloney[/caption] Dr. Graeme Macaloney PEng, PhD. – Macaloney's Island Distillery (Saanich) Proud owner of 5 world whisky awards including World best Potstill – Kildara. They are a non-chilled, filtered, no colour-added distillery. In our 8-10 minute interview, I think I asked 3 perhaps 4 questions – Dr. Graeme handled the rest. It was like a masterclass.

James poured Bowmore 22 Aston Martin www.bowmore.com They took part in the Great Whisky Debate with Micah Dew from Maker's Mark. Words flew, one-liners were exchanged and they still remain long-time friends. Micah was busy with a masterclass but we thank Tish and James for coming by. www.makersmark.com Chris Read –Shelter Point Distillery. Campbell River. Distinctly Vancouver Island. Uniquely Shelter Point. By the time Chris sat down we knew Shelter Point had won 2 Bronze medals for their Oak Cask Single Malt (smoke, spices, honey, leather and a wiff of ocean) and their flagship Evans Family Reserve. (vanilla, tannins, dark chocolate, coconut, citrus, berries, cloves.) Chris explained the unique influences in their island location. It was like poetry. www.shelterpoint.ca
Once again we find ourselves under the masterful tutelage of headmaster Davin de "Wizard" Kergommeaux. This time he leads us on a tour of some unbelievably well-crafted Canadian single malts and educates our palates as well as our whiskraft knowledge. 1. Shelter Point "Classic Single Malt" (cask strength); special for Kensington Wine Market 2. Okannagan Spirits "Laird of Fintry" 3. Stillhead Distillery Single Malt4.

In the old days, distilleries were almost always part of a farm, since farmers would distill their excess grain to make some extra money. Some craft distillers are reviving that heritage, including Patrick Evans and Jim Marinus of Shelter Point Distillery on Canada's Vancouver Island. They've been distilling and maturing single malt whisky for the last couple of years and waiting for it to mature, while running the Evans family farm full-time and using the distillery to host weddings and other events.
It's time for one of the world's top whisky festivals...the Victoria Whisky Festival in British Columbia. The festival kicked off with the presentation of the annual Canadian Whisky Awards, and we'll hear from founder Davin de Kergommeaux and the distiller behind the 2012 Canadian Whisky of the Year, Forty Creek's John Hall. We'll also get an update on the progress of British Columbia's largest whisky distillery from Shelter Point owner Patrick Evans, and update the week's news in the first of two episodes from Victoria this weekend!
More from the Victoria Whisky Festival in this week's episode, including updates from Kilchoman, Gordon & MacPhail, Amrut, Edradour and Signatory, and two of British Columbia's local distilleries, Shelter Point and Victoria Spirits. In the news, there may soon be a truce in the trade dispute between India and the European Union that affects Scotch whisky exports...and Yale's offering an architecture class with a whiskey-related theme.
This week’s New Music Podcast is a Hockley Hustle special! Featuring Gilles Peterson’s fav Nottingham artist, the musician Nusic Editor Sam loved at school, plus the Notts artist on billboards at St Pancras.
