The Wonderful World of Whisky (Episode 760: March 24, 2019)

This week, we're on location at the Wonderful World of Whisky
Show in Cornwall, Ontario with everything from great whiskies and
good friends to a guy dressed from head to toe in clothes made
from recycled purple Crown Royal bags! On WhiskyCast In-Depth,
we'll talk with John McCheyne, who's been traveling the wonderful
world of whisky as the global ambassador for the Scotch Malt
Whisky Society and was in Cornwall for this weekend's fun and
games. We'll also answer a listener's question about a unique
style of barrels on Behind the Label. In the news, there's a
short-term delay on Great Britain's exit from the European Union
and a likely impact on whisky sales, while more evidence is
coming in on the impact of tariffs imposed last year on American
whiskies by Canada, the European Union, and other key trading
partners. We'll also mourn the death this week of Balcones
distillery manager Zack Pilgrim after a sudden stroke at the age
of 38.
