This was the start of my online life! As the Spirit of Edmonton, I regularly visit Canadian distilleries and live stream the experience. These videos as well as "The After Dram" document my first virtual trip around this vast beautiful country. Of our over 200 distilleries, I visit with the most iconic whisky owners and distillers in Canada. What's possibly best about this, is that I'm joined by the authors of "The Definitive Guide to Canadian Distilleries" (and sometimes a panel of fellow Canadian whisky geeks). Together, we get to know the story and the spirits from distilleries around this incredible country of ours. This video series features some of the most fantastic distillers, ambassadors, and whisky authors of our day.
This is not a program for the faint of heart. In this hour to two hour long live stream we delve deeply into the featured whisky related book and get to know the author exceedingly well. I'm currently into my fifth season and have reviewed 22 books (and counting), including those by iconic whisky writers such as Davin de Kergommeaux, Dominic Roskrow, Andrew Jefford, Pip Hills, Ian Buxton, Lew Bryson and Fionnan O’Connor.
Do you want to understand Canadian whiskies on a deeper level? Join me on Tuesday nights (usually at 7 PM MST/MDT) for a live streamed tasting and review of a different Canadian whisky every week. This weekly event is sometimes co-hosted by Canadian whisky experts, such as authors Blair Phillips or Davin De Kergommeaux.
