Podcasts about Single malt

The Maltmigos ride again! Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter welcome back two fan favorites — Amzie Wenning and Rob Carter — for another deep dive into the world of American single malt whiskey. Recorded at the Corner Rickhouse in Frankfort, Kentucky, this episode sends the foursome on a cross-country tasting journey spanning North Carolina, Minnesota, Maryland, Virginia, and Colorado, all without leaving their seats. On the Tasting Mat: - Lost Lantern Single Cask — Oak & Grist Distillery American Single Malt (125.6 Proof, 3 Years Old): A grain-to-glass single malt from Black Mountain, North Carolina, sourced by independent bottler Lost Lantern. Distilled using locally sourced barley within 60 miles of the distillery and aged in used bourbon barrels, this three-year-old pours a light straw color. The nose is immediately fruity and aromatic — apple juice, white grape, and a touch of apple brandy — with a mild ethanol lift. On the palate, juicy orchard fruit gives way to a buttery warmth with a subtle floral honeysuckle note and a spicy white pepper and anise finish. Retail: ~$90. *(00:02:03)* - Brother Justice American Single Malt Single Barrel (125.7 Proof): From Minneapolis, Minnesota, this craft whiskey uses 100% Minnesota-sourced malted barley. Named for a Benedictine monk who built stills for struggling farmers during Prohibition, Brother Justice leans into darker, richer territory. The nose opens with dark fruit, oak, and a hint of chocolate brownie — think cosmic brownie — with a whisper of anise. The palate delivers a full, warming experience with chocolate mint, fig Newton, and a touch of orange zest. Retail: ~$85. *(00:10:12)* - Old Line Spirits Madeira Cask Finished American Single Malt Single Barrel (125.4 Proof, 7 Years Old): Produced by two retired Navy aviators in Baltimore, Maryland, this single barrel was aged four years in new American oak before spending three years finishing in Madeira casks. The color is strikingly dark, and the nose is nothing short of decadent — molasses, pralines, maple, fruitcake, and toasted nuts. On the palate, rich Kahlúa-like flavors of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and rum-forward sweetness emerge, with a lingering anise and licorice finish. Retail: ~$65. *(00:21:55)* - Virginia Distillery Company First Cut Cigar Blend (108 Proof, 7 Years Old): The largest dedicated American single malt distillery in the U.S., Virginia Distillery Company in Lovingston, Virginia, produced this ambitious expression. Aged five years in ex-bourbon barrels, it was then finished across eight different cask types: Sherry, Fino Sherry, Port, STR (Shave Toasted Re-Charred), Chateau Palmer Cabernet, Armagnac, Cognac, and Islay Scotch casks. The nose is Scotch-forward with dark fruit and a subtle smokiness. The palate is concentrated and slightly sticky, with smoked chocolate, bright berry, wine-forward fruit, and a savory Port character. Retail: ~$60. *(00:30:50)* - Stranahan's Founders Release American Single Malt (120 Proof, 12 Years Old) [Bonus Pour]: One of the pioneering names in American single malt, Denver-based Stranahan's was founded in 2004 using Flying Dog Brewery's 100% malted barley beer wash. This rare 12-year Founders Release was aged in heavily charred new American white oak before finishing in ex-bourbon and blonde ale casks. The nose is like walking into a bakery — almond extract, cinnamon buns, candied pecans, coconut, and orange zest. On the palate, cinnamon butter, caramel, and a cream-center candy sweetness shine through, with warm spice and a long, lush finish. Retail: ~$199. *(00:42:27)* The Maltmigos prove once again that the American single malt category is anything but predictable. From a bright, Scotch-inspired three-year-old out of Appalachia to a 12-year Colorado pioneer that conjures a bakery in full swing, today's lineup showcases the incredible range that American distillers are bringing to malted barley whiskey. Keep an eye on these producers — and if you spot any of these bottles on a shelf, don't hesitate.

Lance Winters has one of the stranger paths to becoming a master distiller: nuclear engineering, the Navy, brewing, and eventually showing up at St. George Spirits with a bottle of homemade whiskey. Three decades later, Lance has helped shape St. George into one of America's most influential craft distilleries. In this episode, Lance and Eli discuss St. George's early days as one of the first American craft distilleries; what it means to create something new in established spirits categories; and the many methods and techniques St. George uses to achieve great distillation.

Was ein Durcheinander schon wieder... Völlig unvorbereitet fallen Jo und Steve übereinander her und haben dabei Whsiky im Gepäck - seid euch gewiss: es wird intim und sinnlich!Diesmal haben wir wieder eine besondere Herausforderung im Gepäck: Whiskys im Blindtasting. Der Importeur Sprithöker schickt uns Unbekanntes - und wir nehmen die Herausforderung an. Zugegeben kläglich, aber wir nehmen sie an.Eine fantastische Reise zwischen den Kontinenten und Grundzutaten beschäftigt uns, neben zwischenmenschlichem und erotisch aufgeladenem Content - hier fehlt es an nichts. Fettige Whiskys, alte Fässer, Campino, tropische Früchte, Schambehaarung und ein Earl namens Grey. Alles daNein im Ernst. Wir haben die Möglichkeit, äußerst ungewöhnliche und besondere Spirituosen zu probieren, die uns durchaus eine Inspiration (und unserem Portemonnaie auch) sind - sowas wäre uns zum Teil sonst nicht ins Glas gekommen.Folgt uns auf unserer Reise über Kontinente, Whiskymessen, durch Vorratsregale, gefühlt mehr Süßigkeitenschubladen als Whiskys und Intimbereiche.Was kann man denn mehr wollen?!Verkostete Whiskys:- Brenne Estate Cask- Widow Jane 10y- Templeton Midnight Rye- Goalong Brandy Single Cask- Bunnahabhain 18y- Deanston Chronicles 60th Anniversary- Ledaig 18y(nicht in der Reihenfolge, ihr Nasen ;-))

Amrut's Indian single malts have been popular with whisky connoisseurs for nearly two decades. Now, with increasing competition from other Indian single malt distillers, Amrut is seeking to capture the entry-level whisky drinker with Kranthi, a single malt designed to be approachable for beginners, yet complex enough to please connoisseurs. We'll talk with Amrut master distiller and chief operating officer Ashok Chokalingam on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame has inducted its Class of 2026, and we'll hear from some of the inductees. President Trump's ban on imports of Canadian whisky may not be a complete ban, and workers at Diageo's Cameronbridge Distillery in Scotland are preparing to go on strike next week.

Send us Fan MailWe put our “whiskey without borders” promise to the test by tasting King Car Taiwanese single malt finished in bourbon barrels and arguing over the wildest notes we find. We score it nose, body, taste, and finish, then stack it up against bottles like Highland Park 12 and Johnnie Walker Green before we shift into Kentucky Bourbon Festival plans. • Why international whiskey belongs on a bourbon-forward show • King Car's tropical fruit nose: pineapple, mango, banana, vanilla, caramel • Bubblegum, suntan lotion, and other “you had to be there” aroma calls • Mouthfeel talk: oily, viscous, then gently drying • Smoke and leather notes without heavy peat • Barrel Bottle Breakdown scoring system and our final average score • Finish debate: medium vs long and the lingering licorice-anise edge • Comparison pours and what bourbon drinkers might like best • Kentucky Bourbon Festival logistics and where to find us • Bourbon balls made with maple-finished bourbon and long-soaked pecans www.scotchybourbonboys.com If you watch us or if you listen to us, make sure that you leave us good feedback If you listen on Apple, leave us a good five-star review and give us a review If you're coming down to the Kentucky Bourbon Festival, come check out the Scotchy Bourbon Boys, come find us, say hello, and let's have a pour or two A single malt from Taiwan finished in bourbon barrels sounds like a mashup, but the glass tells a real story. We pour King Car and immediately start chasing notes that feel both familiar and surprising: pineapple acidity, mango smoothness, vanilla sweetness, light caramel, and a nostalgic bubblegum aroma that sparks a full-on debate. If you're a bourbon drinker who wants to explore international whiskey without diving straight into heavy peat, this tasting is built for you.  We break the whiskey down the Scotchy Bourbon Boys way, scoring nose, body, taste, and finish, and we get specific about what's working and what isn't. The nose shines with fruit and dessert-like sweetness, the body brings an oily, viscous mouthfeel, and the palate shifts quickly into gentle smoke and a dry leather-oak edge. Then we argue about the finish, because some pours disappear fast and others hang around in the back of your throat like a “ghost note” for the rest of the night. We even float the idea of an “after aroma” category for the empty glass, because sometimes that's where the best whiskey memories live.  To help you place King Car in your own collection, we compare it to familiar bottles like Highland Park 12 and Johnnie Walker Green, calling out peat level, fruit character, and smoke intensity in plain terms. After the tasting, we pivot into real-world whiskey life: Kentucky Bourbon Festival travel plans, where you can find us on the grounds, and the homemade bourbon balls we're bringing along for friends and fellow fans.  If you enjoy bourbon, single malt, Scotch comparisons, and honest tasting notes, subscribe and share this one with a whiskey buddy.

Der gebürtige Ire George G. Moore wollte in Amerika Whiskey machen - aber keinen Bourbon, sondern einen amerikanischen Single Malt, der irische und schottische Malts nicht kopieren will, sich aber mit den besten ihrer Art messen kann.2011 gründete er die Virginia Distillery Company in Lovingston, Virginia, mit Hilfe des legendären Beraters Dr. Jim Swan.Als George 2013 unerwartet starb, führten seine Frau Angela und sein Sohn Gareth die Vision weiter, die europäische Single Malt Tradition mit Virginia-Terroir und amerikanischer Experimentierfreude verband, was die Destillerie zum erfolgreichen Pionier in Sachen American Single Malt werden ließ.Wir sprechen über Anfang, Werdegang, Produktionsweise und die Abfüllungen der Virginia Distillery Company, und wie immer werfen wir auch einen Blick auf News und Neuerscheinungen in Deutschland und den USA.

Unter den zahlreichen Destillerien da draußen gibt es einige die können und machen besonders viel. Eine davon macht direkt drei verschiedene Dinge - und damit schon drei mehr, als wir können.Auf der sagenumwobenen und vollgerauchten Insel Islay gibt es einen Ort, von dem kommen milde, rauchige und nahezu verkohlte Whiskys gleichermaßen!Bei Bruichladdich werden Tradition und Erfahrung, bewährte Maschinen und regionale Verbundenheit genutzt, um Destillate herzustellen, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten und trotzdem eine ungeahnte Harmonie hervorbringen.Nur beim Versuch, die zahlreichen Aromen zu erkunden, werdet ihr erleben wie sich ein Wechselbad der Gefühle einstellt, einem von uns die Banane platzt (ihr könnt euch denken wem...) und alles in Omas Apfelmuß endet.Findet heraus, was mit Jo passiert ist, wenn seine Oma ihn beim Rauchen erwischt hat und seid dabei, wenn die Unterwelt sich öffnet und ihr Destillat freigibt!Verkostete Whiskys:- Bruichladdich Classic Laddie- Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2014- Bruichladdich X4+18- Port Charlotte 10- Port Charlotte Handfill Distillery- Octomore 16.1- Octomore 16.4

Send us Fan MailWe sit down with master distiller Caitlin Bartlemay to dig into why American single malt keeps gaining ground and why McCarthy's still stands out after decades on the shelf. We get practical about peat, Oregon oak maturation, proof, climate, and what it takes to steward a whiskey brand without chasing every trend. • the rise of American single malt and what category recognition changes for shelves and menus • Caitlin's farm and winery background and how it shapes her approach to distilling • learning the job through apprenticeship culture and the realities of early distillery work • what defines McCarthy's American single malt and why the core process stays consistent • Oregon oak (Garryana) casks, reuse, cask sizes, and why time in wood is more than colour • how warehouse climate affects proof and maturation at the base of Mount Hood • why the six-year McCarthy's is bottled at 100 proof and how it drinks • tasting language, peat as an on-ramp, and the idea that whiskey should stop you mid sip • limited experiments, special finishes, and where to watch for releases remember www.scotchybourbonboys.com for all things Scotchy Bourbon Boys. We've got Glenn Karen's in t-shirts, so check check out the website or just contact me directly. Facebook message me or mention uh comment on YouTube. And then also remember on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, and then we also on Apple, iHeart, and Spotify, and anywhere else that you listen to a podcast, we are there. Make whether you listen to us or watch us, make sure that you leave good feedback and become members. Leave super chats. That's always good on thank you, Kirk, for your super chat tonight. A peated American single malt aged in Oregon oak shouldn't work this well and that's exactly why we had to talk about it. We're joined by Caitlin Bartlemay, master distiller behind McCarthy's American Single Malt, to unpack how a whiskey can be smoky, fruity, and bold without turning into a palate-wrecker. Along the way, we get into why American single malt keeps surging, what it means when stores finally label a real “American Single Malt” section, and why bourbon fans are starting to look for something beyond dessert flavours.Caitlin brings a rare mix of backgrounds: farm kid problem-solving, years of winery work, and a food science education built on hands-on production. That story matters because it shows up in the way McCarthy's is made and protected. We talk through the brand's fingerprint: peated malted barley sourced from Scotland, copper distillation, glacial-fed water, and maturation in 100% Garryana (Oregon oak) barrels, including what happens when you reuse casks over multiple cycles and why “time in wood” is about more than extractive-heavy colour.Then we taste and debate the six-year McCarthy's at 100 proof, from smoke character to mouthfeel to the surprising ways peat can play like mezcal in a cocktail. We also touch experiments like rum cask aging, what trends get right and wrong, and how a whiskey should make you stop mid conversation and actually notice what's in your glass.If you enjoy American whiskey, craft distilling, single malt, peat, barrel aging, and real production talk, hit subscribe, share this with a whiskey friend, and leave us a review where you listen.

The latest collection of American Single Malts from Lost Lantern Whiskey is dubbed the "Scotch Lover's Collection," not because there are any inferred links to Scotland, but because Lost Lantern founders Nora Ganley-Roper and Adam Polonski crafted them to appeal to a Scotch lover's palate. We'll talk with Nora and Adam on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Brown-Forman reports a 14% decline in quarterly profits, while Bourbon industry leaders are getting nervous about the long-term impact of Canada's boycott of American whiskies. We'll also pay tribute to singer-songwriter Robin Laing, who died this weekend at the age of 72. 

This week, Big Chief heads into the rough-and-rowdy heart of Fort Worth, Texas, where legends were born and outlaws once ruled the night. Deep in the infamous Hell's Half Acre, he finds himself at Acre Distilling, a distillery that honors the city's wild past and bold spirit. Big Chief sits down with Tony Formby, one of the driving forces behind Acre, to hear how a group of brewers came together to create this award-winning distillery in the shadow of Fort Worth's notorious past. Tony shares the tales of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, who once roamed these streets until a photograph sealed their fate, and how that same spirit of rebellion lives on in every drop of Acre whiskey. On the first half of the show, Big Chief pours Longhaired Jim Bourbon Whiskey and the Longhaired Jim Bourbon Cask Strength, two beautiful, full-bodied expressions inspired by the tough-as-nails lawman "Longhaired Jim" Courtright. These whiskeys carry a firm Texas backbone, bold, gritty, and full of flavor, just like the sheriff himself. In the second half, the journey turns to Acre's Texas Single Malt Whisky and their Texas Smoked Single Malt Whisky, expressions that prove Texas malt can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the world's best. The Single Malt, distilled from 100% Texas barley and aged in new charred American oak, brings rich grain character and classic malt sweetness. The Smoked Single Malt takes it a step further, with 40% of its barley smoked over Texas pecan and peach wood, offering a subtle, balanced smokiness reminiscent of old-world Scotch with a Lone Star attitude. From outlaw legends to award-winning spirits, this episode celebrates Fort Worth's wild heart and Acre's dedication to craft, community, and the Texas way of doing whiskey. So pour yourself a dram, kick back, and let Big Chief take you on a ride through history, grit, and Texas pride, because in Hell's Half Acre, the stories are as rich as the whiskey in your glass.
