Celebrating World Whisky Day

Whisky lovers around the world celebrated World Whisky Day
Saturday. The holiday was created a dozen years ago by whisky
writer and consultant Blair Bowman, and we'll check in with him
on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. He's been involved in several
major controversies affecting the Scotch Whisky industry, from
protesting the planned Deposit Return Scheme now scheduled to
take effect next March to fighting a proposed series of marketing
and advertising restrictions for whiskies and other alcoholic
beverages. In the news, we'll have an update on new whiskies
released for World Whisky Day, while the owners of Justins' House
of Bourbon have paid $3,000 in fines to settle charges brought by
Washington, DC liquor regulators. We'll also have tasting notes
for new whiskies from Jack Daniel's, Michter's, and
Glenglassaugh.
