Its a fun and educational tasting of ‪Laphroaig Whisky with Simon Brookings. We learn exactly what makes a Scotch a “Single Malt”. Plus some history and the process of making Scotch Whisky. Why is some Scotch “peatier” than others? What exactly is peat anyway?

Also, a report from Paul Pacult’s Rum Authority event at Keen’s Steakhouse in NYC.

In the news: David Wondrich has released an update to his great book Imbibe.
