The original Glenmorangie Astar was released in 2008. This is the re-release from 2017 and you can, kinda, think of it as a cask strength version of The Original 10, but with a twist. That twist being the exact casks used. The wood used for the Astar comes from trees in the Ozark Mountains of […]

Del Bac Distiller’s Cut Summer 21 is Whiskey Del Bac’s (Hamilton Distiller’s) yearly limited release.

Last week I chatted with Chris Uhde of Impex Beverages and this week I’m reviewing the Glendale Glass and the Barrell Batch 024. Interviews, glassware (whiskey and cocktail), accessories, equipment and cocktails are where the videos will be focused.
