Actually it’s Tuesday and no, this is not a monster truck rally. It is, however, The Battle of the Bogs! This month we are tasting the Laphroaig 10 year and Ardbeg 10 year. In Scotch 101, Michael will be talking about barrels, the woods they are made from, and how the wood effects the maturation of the scotch. We’ll look at an iTunes review, and update you on the People’s Choice voting as well.

Join us next time for a tasting of the Signatory bottlings of the Caol Ila 1992, and the Glenrothes 1994.

We wanted to let you know that we have a new voicemail number.

When we got home from ConVocation, where the last show was recorded, we found that we had an issue with the voicemail number. You can call it and leave a message, but we’ll never know about it, and we can’t log in to get the messages either! So rather than go through the hoops to figure it out, we went with another provider, GrandCentral. They provide tons more usability and hugely better audio quality.

So give it a try! The new number is 517-879-4629 and if you click the “call me!” button on thescotchcast.com, GrandCentral will even call your phone and connect you to our voicemail for FREE!

We look forward to hearing from you all soon!

Do you have to go to a specialty shop to get a good one? Not always! This time around we take a look two “supermarket single malts”, The Speyburn 10 year and the Glenfiddich Special Reserve. In Scotch 101 we get back to our look at scotch production with fermentation and distilling, and we’ve got some listener feedback as well.

On show #5 we’ll be tasting The Balvenie 12 year Doublewood and The Talisker 10 year, and we are super excited to announce that we’ll be joined by very special guest Tee Morris!

Michael Jackson, who we regularly quote for our professional tasting notes, passed away Wednesday night at his home in London. He was 65. All of us at The Scotchcast are saddened by this news. His interest in whisky, along with the books and articles he has written, have done a great deal to make this podcast possible. We ask that you join us in raising a glass to the memory and accomplishments of Michael Jackson.

Beannachd Dia dhuit Mr. Jackson,

Jeff, Chip, and Michael

Thanks to a listener suggestion, we have enabled the ability for you to edit your comments once they have been submitted. There are however a couple of things to keep in mind. First, once you submit a comment you will have thirty minutes in which to edit it. After that your comment becomes static and cannot be changed. Second, since we don’t require you to register and be logged in, you must be at the same IP address used to make the original comment.

Thanks to Chris G for the suggestion!
