Extra! Extra!! Terroir, a Sense of Place, or Semantics?
About this episode
Joshua and Jason discuss the concept of terroir in whisky with guest Scott Blackwell.
Spurred by an lengthy email from dear friend, Nation member, padcost listener, and head blender of Tormore and Black Tot Rum, Ollie Chilton, Joshua and Jason discuss -- once again -- the idea of terroir in whisky, this time with our most recent episode with Scott Blackwell of High Wire Distilling in mind. Is there terroir in whisky? Is it more of a "sense of place"? Is it all just semantics? Listen in and find out what these two jamokes think! ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation! Special thanks to: - Weigh Down for allowing us to use their song "Wooden Monsters" as our theme song - RØDE for making *really* great microphones - Focusrite for making awesome USB receivers - Joshua Hatton for producing and editing
