Here's a
special bonus episode from Whisky Live Paris...on location at one of the world's
great bars. Hemingway drank at Harry's, Parisians drink at Harry's...and now,
WhiskyCast goes to Harry's New York Bar. Thierry Benitah of La Maison du Whisky
joins us for this special episode...his family has been supplying whisky to
Harry's for 52 years, and he'll share some of the history of Harry's and La
Maison du Whisky with us. We'll also hear from Suntory's Mike Miyamoto and
Kamiguchi Naofumi of Nikka about their latest and most unusual whiskies that
have the French going "incroyable!"

Time now for part two of WhiskyCast's special coverage of Whisky Live Paris!
We'll get an update on Islay's newest distillery, Kilchoman...where the
first spirit reaches legal age later this year, and the new boss at
Glendronach, Billy Walker of BenRiach fame, has plans to turn his team's new
acquisition loose and let the spirit go free! We'll also hear from Dennis
Malcolm of Glen Grant, Steven Teeling of Cooley, and Michael Urquhart of
Gordon & MacPhail...and in the author's corner...Hans Offringa tells us
about his new books on the history of Laphroaig and "A Taste of Whisky," and
Ulf Buxrud shares details of his new book on Japanese whiskies.
