BONUS: I sat down with Randall from @OffTopicWhiskey for an interview on his show, of me! With Randall's permission I've reuploaded this episode on my feed.We talk through my whole history with whiskey, whiskey tasting, whiskey reviewing, whiskey podcasting, and sip through 3 different whiskeys that are the biggest signpost whiskeys of my journey and my eras of whiskey.Whiskeys for this episode:- Yamazaki 12- Laphroaig Cairdeas Fino Cask Finished- McCarthy's Oregon Single Malt barrel 701 aged 6 years 8 months 15 days in an ex-Casa Magdalena Rum CaskIf you haven't already caught this on the Off Topic Whiskey feed, that probably means you aren't subscribed to Off Topic Whiskey. You should head over there and fix that ASAP on YouTube or your podcast platform of choice.Cheers,DougP.S. I loved Randall's thumbnail for this so I reused it with permission.

There's a little about a small malt house turned distillery winning awards. Doug gets fired up, and we may or may not have mentioned glizzys....

Tonight we chat with Jonathan Odde, owner of the world's first ASMW-focused bar, Little Wolf, in Denver, Colorado. I was first introduced to Jonathan Odde by a mutual acquaintance on the same day that Jonathan met Joseph O'Sullivan of McCarthy's and Minden Mill, where we all had dinner at Jonathan's other whisky-focused hospitality business, the Burns Pub in Denver, Colorado. Jonathan is an awesome restauranteur, educator, and evangelist of all kinds of whiskey, and the ASMW community couldn't be happier to have him in our corner leading the charge of consumer education around ASMW.Want to create live streams like this?

Welcome back to the May edition of 3 Guys 1Grain, yup we know, its late. Coming off the heels of our barrel picks with Distillerie Acadian, we sat and chatted a little about our lives. Sure, there is some ASM talk, but it's a bit less than usual. We do touch on a bit of news in the industry and some changes. A bit about an interesting ASM from the east coast with an incredible age statement, and what's next for 3 Guys 1 Grain. Thank you for your support, and as always, we greatly appreciate all of you!

LIVE Thursday, May 7th, 5pm PDT: Alex Buck of Warfield ASMW.We are so excited to speak with Alex Buck, Managing Distiller of Sun Valley Distillery to talk about Warfield American Single Malt Whiskey (and an aged gin!).We first found out about Warfield via the excellent single cask released by @lostlanternwhiskey (see SMF Ep. 51 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYdAQueMWdo) and we're really looking forward to getting the whole brand story from the source.Warfield products are 100% organic and distilled and aged at 5840 ft. This makes Warfield the first distillery we've spoken to outside of Colorado that is located more than a mile above sea level, so we'll get to compare the effects of that altitude on whiskey production from a different part of the country, significantly farther north and a bit higher elevation. All Warfield whiskeys are Non-Chill-Filtered and No Color Added.This week's whiskeys (* = provided to us by our guest):- * Warfield Idaho Highlands American Single Malt Whiskey, 46% ABV / 92 pf- * Warfield Sun Valley ASMW, 46% ABV / 92 pf- * Warfield Gently Peated ASMW, 46% ABV / 92 pf- * Warfield Organic Aged Gin, 44% ABV / 88 pfFind out more:- Warfield Distillery: https://www.drinkwarfield.com/ and https://www.instagram.com/drink_warfield---If you like what we do, please like, subscribe, comment, and share!- Support us on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/SingleMaltFrontier and get extras and perks!- Subscribe to our show here and at https://www.instagram.com/singlemaltfrontier- Buy our glencairns! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeIxRxNT_WdJx0gedh0Nuh4RtXLUo5WxbBtmlp4yk9me8IZ9A/viewform- Follow Doug at https://www.instagram.com/demitastes and https://demitastes.com/Companion channels:- 3 Guys 1 Grain - https://www.youtube.com/@3guys1grain - 3 of your favorite ASMW-loving youtubers discuss ASMW from the consumer perspective- Ranger's Respite (Phill) - https://www.youtube.com/@therangersrespite - Phill's whiskey reviews and commentary- Off Topic Whiskey (Randall) - https://www.youtube.com/@offtopicwhiskey - a podcast with a down-to-earth take on all things whiskey- Freedom Malts (Jerm) - https://www.youtube.com/@freedom_malts - home of the Blind Sample Showdown---Barrel Picks:Our McCarthy's Barrel #701 is now SOLD OUT.The pre-sale period on our 3 Guys 1 Grain picks is now CLOSED.
