This week on the Cask Chasers Podcast, we are dipping into the flavored whiskies to give some of the most noteables, their due. From tailgating it with some Fireball to spicing it up with Dickel Tobasco, these flavored whiskies serve a purpose in the grand scheme. Usually, distilleries will put out some of these whiskies as a revenue source during maturation times, other times, they are simply a novelty. Join us as we muscle our way through this episode and finish it off with a pleasant surprise!

All About the Alba

We have an interesting twist this week, Cask Chasers! Aberlour is one of our favorite distilleries. Did you know that A'bunadh is Gaelic for "The Original"? Known for its distinct Sherry finishes, Aberlour is a Speyside that does not disappoint. The A'bunadh Alba is the newest release from the Aberlour Distillery but it is not what you would typically expect from them. Alba being the Gaelic word for "White" gets its name from the American White Oak used during matruation and absent of any finish. Its a twist on the norm and, as we discuss, may also put a twist on the price points. Plus, have you ever wanted an easier way to keep track of all of your whisky adventures? If a pad and a pen just aren't going to work for you, we discuss some of our favorite whisky apps to help you keep track of all of those tasting notes.

We have an exciting special for you this week, Cask Chasers. We discussed in last week's episode what an exciting time it is to be a whisky fan as we witness the progression of a revolution that is occurring in the industry. At the forefront, we see a growing number of tv shows, short films and documentaries capturing the essence of what goes into your favorite glass of scotch or bottle of bourbon. One film, The Water of Life, takes us into some of Scotland's best known distilleries and more than a few hidden gems to explore each distiller's quest to create the world's best whisky. On this week's episode, we have the Producer and Cinematographer of the Water of Life film, Brad Kenyon, to discuss filming the movie, their experiences traveling around Scotland and how taking a love for whisky and turning that into beatiful art is not only for the distillery, but also for the big screen.

There is a revitalization that is happening in the industry which is creating a bright future for whisky. As we ride the wave of a new generation discovering their love a for a good scotch or bourbon, we also see a wave of new documentaires, films and other forms of media that may just be playing a big part in it all. In this week's episode, we explore what media we think is playing a key role and who we think are some of the biggest influencers leading the movement.
