The WhiskyCast Tasting Panel
The WhiskyCast Tasting Panel features a monthly tasting panel of whisky lovers from around the world. You'll be part of the global conversation as they nose, taste, and score whiskies, and learn how you can become a member of our tasting panel.

September is Bourbon Heritage Month, and this month's panel is tasting what else...Bourbons. Justin Victor and John DeYoung joined us via Skype, while Dan Huntzinger was in the studio with Mark Gillespie to taste the Jim Beam Signature Craft Quarter Cask Finished Bourbon, the 2014 Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch, and the 23-year-old Elijah Craig Single Barrel. We also have another whisky club to honor as this month’s Whisky Club of the Month, too!

WhiskyCast Virtual Tastings: February 2014

This month, we're bringing together two brothers who only get to see each other a couple of times a year for a Skype-based blind single malt tasting. David Lavin, Kevin Lavin, and Kevin's girlfriend Stephanie Buchert tasted the Speyburn 10, the Arran 14, and the Talisker Storm.

WhiskyCast Virtual Tastings: January 2014

There's an old saying that wisdom comes from the mouth of babes. That was proven true with this month's panel, when 6-year-old Maggie DeYoung  told her father John that talking about whisky to the world "was a great responsibility" and generously offered to help her Dad in any way that she could. John and his wife Jay make up half of our tasting panel this month, along with Jill-Ann and Robert Mark. What's more...they nosed and tasted this month's whiskies blindly, and weren't told until they had finished each whisky what they were evaluating. This month's whiskies are variations on the traditional peated single malt Scotch: Bowmore's Devil's Casks, the lightly peated Cù Bòcan from Tomatin, and Laphroaig's 2013 Cairdeas Port Cask Finish.
