Lost in Dramslation with Park Whiskey Society

Field of Drams - Jeffrey Meyers -Portfolio Ambassador -Edrington

Today we crawl back into bed with Edrington elegance, but this time we speak to the West Coast charmer, Jeffrey Meyers about Highland Park. Jeffrey, dedicated to his craft, worked his way up through the minor leagues wearing several different caps before finding himself with an opportunity of a lifetime and now humbly finds himself at the front of the rotation in the big leagues. Join us as three whisky enthusiasts journey, enjoy and talk some Highland Park together. 

Back to Sherry Town

Tune in today for more for endless ramblings as we visit a few sherry influenced whiskies and listen to Sean - aka. Dark Cloud express his feels about Billy, don't call me Texas Ranger, Walker.

Game of Drams - Ryan Engen - Director of Spirits - Alcanna

Today we get the pleasure of sitting down with Ryan Engen - Director of Spirits for Alcanna. Ryan has been a friend and supporter of the club for many years and is someone Sean and I really respect in this industry. He is personally responsible for bringing in and making available some of the most exclusive whisk(e)y products our market has seen including a vast array of single barrel bourbons from a variety of the most popular distilleries. Ryan may hold the title as the head spirits buyer for the biggest liquor chain in the province but its important to remember that he is simply a passionate whisky enthusiast just like the rest of us at heart. Look for his name on all the Wine and Beyond / Liquor Depot selections and I promise you, the quality is guaranteed. 

Finding Kaiyo - Jay Cole - @thewhiskypirate (Kaiyo Ambassador - LHK Spirits Group)

Today we learn all about the incredible journey Kaiyo whisky endures as it travels through almost every climate around the world prior to bottling. Our guest, Jay Cole (@thewhiskypirate) nerds out with Sean and I for what could easily have been a 4 hour dram session. Jay is as genuine and in love with whisky as anyone I know and has quickly become one of my favourite people in this industry. A future beauty lister in the making!

Straight Shenanigans - Josh Ward(@knowyourwhisky) and Graham Hoff(@ghoff27)

A few fellas... a few drinks... a few laughs. That's about all that's going on here.

Till It's Gone - Creek Water - Robert Chalifoux - Drinks Inc.

Today we are hanging out with Robert Chalifoux from Drinks Inc.. He is a local distributor gearing up to launch an exciting new whiskey called Creek Water. Creek Water is a celebrity whiskey brand created by Yelawolf who Sean is a massive fan of! He has been praying for this brand to make its way to Canada for years now and thanks to Robert, Sean is getting his wish! 

Four Blind Ryes - Cooperstown-Hansen-Kilbeggen-Lot40

Today Sean and I take four different Rye whiskies and taste through them all blind - guessing which one is which and rating our favourites at the end. Sean(aka The Dark Cloud) also sets his own cursing record while losing his cool during the Grinds My Malt segment. No prisoners taken this time! 

WTF is That...? - Sean McCalder @yegwhiskynights

Just as the title suggests, we are drinking some absolute weirdos today courtesy of our good friend, Sean McCalder (@yegwhiskynight). He set out to bring an array of bizarre whiskies that we have never tried before and... lets just say, our friendship was in question following the recording. Such a fun episode! Hope you enjoy!

Wet Hot American Drams - Ray Daniel -Beam Suntory Ambassador

Today we are visited by the Rockstar of the Ambassador group here in Canada. Ray Daniel was the first brand ambassador to perform a tasting for our membership years ago, so the bar was set pretty high from the beginning. No one represents as broad a spectrum of whisk(e)y as Ray does so expect to hear this man's voice a number of times on our podcast. In this Episode, we keep it casual for the most part, touching on Jim Beam, sipping on Knob Creek re-release of the 9yr Bourbon and just talk about our shared passion for this wonderful brown spirit we all love. 

Some Boondock Sips for St. Patrick's Day

Just Sean and I and some some Irish sips for St. Patrick's Day!
