Whiskey selection: Kaigan Japanese Whiskey, Browne Family Spirits Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Yellow Spot 12 Year Irish Whiskey, and Barrowman’s Grand Cru 21 Year Blended Scotch Whisky.
Wherein Jon and Judy invite several friends, absent Marlys, to join us in tasting four whiskies (and a fifth for extra credit) with an abundance of chaos, some expletives, glass clinking, and pretzels, occasionally returning to the subject at hand but always having a good time at the beach in Washington State. It may help if you know a bit about libraries, and it will definitely help if you are drinking while you listen đ
It’s a long one, so buckle up! We hope that you will enjoy it. We certainly had fun recording it.
