About this episode

A philosophical discussion on cask finishing with David Blackmore, Global Brand Ambassador for Glenmorangie and Ardbeg.

In our cask maturation episode with Matt Strickland, where we discussed ex-Bourbon barrels, we dug into the science behind the wood and how it interacts with spirit. In today's episode with David Blackmore, Global Brand Ambassador for Glenmorangie & Ardbeg and dear friend to both Joshua & Jason, we have a more philosophical conversation around "Cask Finishing". Glenmorangie are pioneers, masters, and champions of cask finishing. Let's dig in people. This is going to be a wild ride. ...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
