About this episode
Matthew James and Aaron Pete sit down to taste a variety of whiskeys and review them. They try the Macallen 12 year, GlenAllachie, Shelterpoint, Crown Royal Whisky, Brothers Bond, Tomatin Highland and Laphroaig. Matthew explains why the age of the whisky matters, adding spring water, letting the whisky sit, and different regions in Scotland. The two also discuss fishing, finding your passion and so much more.
Matthew is a local whisky aficionado(read: geek) Over the last decade he has developed a passion for learning about “Aqua Vitae,” otherwise known as the “water of life.” This has involved taking part in masterclasses from whiskey experts all over the world, pouring whisky at festivals throughout the lower mainland and generally trying whatever new whisky a he comes across. He has a particular interest in Single Malt Scotch, specifically from the Islay and Campletown regions. Matthew is endlessly curious to learn and enjoys every opportunity he gets to share this passion with others.
