Cask Strength

We're drinking some Cask strength whiskey. How has this taken 13 episodes to be the theme? Wouldn't be a 13th episode without some weird unlucky tech issues of compression and freezing now and then, but all in all the luck could have been worse! Side note: Brad went the entire episode without mentioning the random barrel sitting behind him. So if you're waiting for an explanation, I guess you have to wait until next time!

After a weird glitch in the matrix (the Youtube Gods hated our excessive talk of Canadian Mist) we're back! 

Hey look at us, all grown up with guests and everything! We're joined this week by the guys from Rot Gut Review, so we're totally stealing their bit and drinking horrible things. On purpose. Why? WHO KNOWS. 

It's dry week, which means no whiskey. That leaves a whole lot more room for weirdness though. Hot sauce might be involved? How did I get roped into this again? 

We've hit the double digits and so has the whiskies we'll be drinking. We might learn a bit aboot Canadian Whiskey law too. Here's the survey from the government of Ontario:https://www.ontario.ca/form/alcohol-choice-and-convenience-for-the-people-survey

Join your professional crew, Brad, Josh and Vito as they sip their way through a bunch of bourbons and discuss all things whisk[e]y with the 4th members of the crew, the Live Chat! 

Hey guys, after some technically difficulties we managed to start the stream once again and continued to run through a bunch of Irish whiskies, talk about some new propositions to the US federal whiskey laws, chatted with the Live Chat and shared some Fiddly Bits!
